Smooth and Polished Cast Iron Dutch Oven by StarBlue – 5 qt Cast Iron with 10 Inches Diameter, 2 in 1 Multipurpose Skillet and Pot for Non-Stick Cooking

I was super excited to purchase this as I had been looking into enameled cast iron pots, but worried that longevity wise the enamel would always crack eventually. But I have a cast iron skillet is prone to food sticking, which isn't desirable either. So when I found this affordable polished cast iron pot I was extatic. And when I received it in the mail it looked just like the pictures and was beautiful. I read though the instructions carefully and decided to season the skillet before use per the instructions as an optional precaution (the pot is preseason already). I wish I hadn't done so though, because it streaked the pot pretty badly (see pictures). However, when I reached out the the customer service reps for advice and what to do they were amazing and super super helpful and kind. Since then I've baked bread per the recipe booklet and it was very good with an amazing crust. I have also used the lid as a skillet on the stove top as well which was great- no issues with food sticking at all! And I've been really careful since then on the seasoning of the pot so I can avoid streaks.

Have not cooked in it yet .It came preseasoned but I put two more layers on and it took it great baked on nicely and can’t wait to go camping to try it !I might even start a fire in the yard to try it and season it even more

Item came well packaged and how I expected it. I love the look of the inside. It's very smooth. The only flaw is a small nick on the inside on the bottom of the larger pot. Being this is cast iron, I am pretty sure this won't be much of a problem as the pot ages and becomes more seasoned since I am planning on using this only for sourdough bread. The lid seems to fit quite well. I am hoping it holds onto the moisture as my bread bakes.

Braising and stews

I purchased this so I could make more meals for my family. I've used it twice, when I wash it, I gently use Dawn dishwashing liquid. I keep the oven on so once it's washed and towel dried, I put it in the oven to finish. It's rusting. Unfortunately, I can't return it but I can share our experience.

I I ordered a 5 quart cast iron Dutch oven 1/26/23 and had a slight problem with it. I contacted customer service online and was very surprised to receive a response within one day. They said that they would send a replacement and I received it within a week. The company reached out again to make sure delivery was complete. Very nice company to deal with.This Dutch oven is beautiful and I think it will last a very long time.

I love how it didn't stick and plenty of room.I have made chowder, chili beans and spaghetti. Each recipe was cooked to perfection.
