Perfect size for singles/couples or for side dishes for families.
The cast iron is great for heat retention and durability. The enamel coating allows for more versatility than regular cast. The green is a beautiful green that is close to what is shown on screen.
I love the fact that you can start a dish on stovetop and then transfer to oven, all in one pot. Food tastes delicious and cleanup is a breeze.
Some tips from the brochure:
The porcelain surface eliminates the need to season cast iron. The black rim on the pot and lid are matte porcelain, not exposed cast iron.
The knob is oven safe to 400 degrees.
Hygienic porcelain enamel is non-reactive with food.
Use for any cooking technique, as well as to marinate, refrigerate, and freeze.
Lodge Color Porcelain Enamel on Cast Iron cookware can be used on gas, electric, ceramic, and induction cooktops, as well as in the oven. It is not recommended for...Read more

I have a couple of Le Creuset products, so when I saw this I was first amazed at the price (The price on this item has fluctuated quite a bit, from the low $20s to the $50s, strange...), especially considering the price of Le Creuset. I decided to try this one, mainly because I needed something in this size. I really can't tell much difference in this brand and the other. It's a great dutch oven, perfect for smaller dishes. The color is great, just like you see, and the results after cooking with it for a couple of months - Excellent. For some things, there's just nothing better than cast iron, especially soups and stews. Nice size for a smaller beef burgundy or coq au vin, and casseroles come out very well also. This was an excellent addition to my cookware.
what can I say........,

.........I'm speechless you guys!!!! That is the fastest shipping that I have ever experienced! And I'm a big online shopper. So I know what I'm talking about. Couldn't even guess what came in the mail because I was not expecting it THAT soon. Thank you guys. Keep up the wonderful work!!!!!!! By the way, I got my dutch oven from the seller 'Reds Gear'.
As for the dutch oven, it is the prefect size for 2-3 person meals. I have a 6Q one from the same brand. Wanted something smaller for everyday use. So the 3Q beauty is going to be perfect. As for long term durability, I'm hopeful. Going to cook on medium heat and treat it respectfully. The oven is perfect for caramelizing onions that I couldn't ever do to perfection using a nonstick cookware or stainless steel ones (I have a glass electric cook-top). I might be biased, but this oven actually also brought out the sweetness in the caramelized onions. So if you like cooking and are picky about how the food cooks go for this...Read more
