I have always wanted a cast iron enameled dutch oven but as with many people could not justify the price of the leading French brand (even at the outlet!) I carefully researched this product & others for several months, and after much pondering, decided to order this from Amazon (try and find it at a lower price with FREE shipping, it is just NOT possible)
I have been using this for a month now & decided that I should post a review for all those other folks trying to decide if the cheaper one is "just as good" My simple answer is "YES!!!"...... I have used this for EVERY crockpot/slow cooker recipe & it has performed MUCH better than any electric slow cooker that I have ever owned! So good, that I have gotten rid of my electric slow cooker forever, this is soo much more versatile. Good cooking is all about having the right tool, well this one has been missing from my kitchen until now. I have cooked roasts, BBQ, soups, chili etc it all comes out perfect EVERY time!

Enamel chipping,

Have run into the same problems others have. Cooked with it only three times before enamel started coming off. Was very careful in handleing and cleaning but the enamel is chipping already. Go with le creuset or others.

No I can't afford the expensive dutch oven I might have wanted. That's true.
However I could afford this for my birthday last year. It's now over 8 months later. I've used this wonderful thing several times.
I've confronted it with gentle care and accidental neglect. It's held up to all my use admirably.
First of all... the color is pretty true to the picture. It's beautiful. A mix of lime-green and olive-green to create, apparently, a bright, glorious apple-green color.
Mine arrived with a few minor flaws which I documented with photos in case it got worse over time. These were essentially cosmetic but could be potential weak spots for chipping later.
This thing is heavy as all quality dutch ovens are going to be... but I can lift it adequately, even filled with many pounds of meat and vegetables.
I find this bakes things beautifully. For whatever reason there is a bit of sticking when I use it on my stove top, I...Read more
