Cuisinart Chef's Classic Enameled Cast Iron Oval Covered Casserole (Provencial Blue, 5.5-Quart)

It's a beast. Already cooking chicken soups, lentil soups, and roast beef, and still very easy to clean, no chips like my last BS, and the price compared to some other more famous brands makes it worth it. Happy with my purchase.

Replaced a years-old higher end brand that had npbecome stained and chipped. So far this one seems solid, durable, easy to clean, and distributes heat well. Plus it looks great!

This is the third enameled iron pan I've purchased, and the combination of functionality, weight and price are very hard to beat. The two other enameled pans I compare in this review are Le Creuset and Lodge.I really like cooking on enamel iron pans because of durability, ease of cleaning, and not having to worry about the chemicals in non-stick pans. But to prevent sticking, one should use lower flames than one might be used to with other kinds of pans. Iron retains heat and gets hotter than other types of pans, which causes burning and sticking. And one must coat with oil after heating and before putting the food in the pan.Shape - The Cuisinart bottom is perfectly flat, whereas the center of the Lodge pan is slightly raised (imagine a dome that has been almost completely flattened, but is not perfectly flat). Consequently, the Cuisinart is better than the Lodge for cooking omelettes because eggs gravitate to the perimeter of the Lodge and might not cook evenly.Shape - The Cuisinart bottom intersects the wall of the pan at an angle. The same is true for the Lodge. In contrast, the Le Creuset bottom rises gradually upwards to form the wall, so food won't get caught at the edge of the Le Creuset. Depending on your cooking technique, you might prefer one shape over the other.Weight-wise, the Cuisinart and Le Creuset are manageable, and the Lodge is very heavy (it is a workout to wash and dry).Durability - the enamel is chipping on the handle of the Lodge, but not on the cooking surfaces, where it matters most. So it's unsightly, but it does not affect functionality. There is no chipping with the other pans.Price - the Cuisinart and the Lodge were each about a third the price of the Le Creuset.

I adore this pot. It is the perfect size for two with leftovers. It cooks very evenly and did not burn. Would recommend.

I looked at all the options and decided to go with Cuisinart. The handles are plenty large, the knob on top is ginormous and I am completely satisfied with the quality. Perhaps if I was 40 years younger I would have opted for a more expensive pot. However, they are not any better in my opinion.

Just received on Sept 28 after ordering it Sept 12. Delivery sort of sucked. Other than that, used it once. Worked well.

I love my new Dutch oven. I used it for the first time this weekend and it was wonderful. It cooked the food quicker than my old stock pot.

I like how there is even heating and the large size.

It worked so beautifully, and was super easy clean. I just don't have the words to express how happy I am with this Dutch oven.

Es un artículo básico de buena calidad.

Good quality

Great pan, creates beautiful grill marks on food

I love it , it keeps the soup without losing a lot of it as vapor and it also keeps the heat , now I can cook on low heat and the food taste much better!
