BK Carbon Steel Mini Dutch Oven, 2-Cup, Blue

I recently bought a 16 quart pot and it was just too big. My daughter wanted something large to do canning with and so I gladly gave it to her and downsized to this. It perfect for soups and stews and I am impressed by its quality. Perfect enameled coating, hefty, good heat distribution and cleans up easily. Many enameled steel vessels are white inside and its not long before stained scratches in the enamel surface show up on the inner surface bottom. I like the dark blue coloring inside and out to keep the vessel looking good. Cleans up nicely, looks great and much easier to store than my giant pot it replaced. A quality piece of cookware made in Europe that I'm proud to own, and its a joy to use. Five star all around.

We are a Cast Iron cooking family. I REALLY needed a lighterweight enameled or porcelain coated stock pot *(and a dutch oven... I opted for Le Creuset for my enameled dutch oven). I did a TON of research on my options. I was a cast iron restorer and reseller. So I am ver familiar with Carbon Steel. I have even restored numerous Carbon Steel pans and woks. BK is a well respected, well known, old company. Lots of longevity in their company and production. So... I opted for this brand over any other brand of enameled stock pots. I LOVE IT. It gets a lot of use. Lots of stews, soups, and pasta sauces have already been made in it, in only a couple of months. I have braised and browned a lot of meats for soups and stews in it. It is holding up EXTREMELY WELL. I have probably used it more in a couple of months than most people would in a year or two, since I mass prep meals, soups, and sauces. It is holding up, no signs of chipping or wear, the surface is just as good as it was day one. I DO however use Crisbee Sudz to wash it. It is a super mild detergent that cleans well, but is designed to spare cast iron seasoning. I am sure that helps a lot in keeping the surface so nice. As you can see, the inside still looks brand new. It is also a beautiful pot! Right at home with my 100 year old cast iron, 75 year old dutch oven and new Le Creuset Chef's Oven.

I was worried this pot would be cheaply made due to someone’s review here. I can safely say this pot is high quality and looks like it will last for years. Both side handles and lid are welded on, there are no screws or rivets. The steel is heavy but not as heavy as cast iron which is exactly what I wanted. This has some weight to it but it doesn’t weigh a ton. The enamel looks nicely applied with a pleasant blue color in the pot and cream on the outside. Actually made in Germany, designed in Holland.

I give it a 4 because it's cute and practical and small, I like the feel of it, and it's exactly what I need. I returned it because it's so much tinier than even the small burner, the handles were over the burner, and I knew they would get way too hot to manipulate. Okay, that's at my house. Now, if you have a glass(?) stovetop, or even a gas burner, the scenario might be altogether different. The pot itself is so perfect for one person! Be sure your burner is anything other than electric if you purchase this little pot. I just loved it to pieces - but couldn't have it. I hope you can.

I replaced my non-stick stockpot of many years with this one and couldn't be more pleased. It is slightly larger than the old one but narrower & taller and therefor actually better. I have not had anything burn in it and I find the food cooks evenly - maybe even more so than in the old pot. Cleanup is also much easier and it fits into my countertop dishwasher which is also something I care about. Got the cream color and it is perfect. I can only recommend this pot!

Nicely made. Just be careful about the size - it may look bigger in the picture than it is. I wanted a tiny pot and this is it 😋

Pretty well-made saucepan. I selected it based on size, weight and the wooden handle. The handle has been the biggest disappointment, because it's not finished wood. It'll need several coats of good wood conditioner. Luckily, I have some, used for protecting wooden cutting boards. If you're not prone to take these extra steps, or avoiding getting the handle wet, you may want to select another product.

First of all, I love the color! FINALLY, sturdy Colbalt blue cook ware. I just wish they made a larger one, dutch ovens and sets of pans. Very good weight to it. I love to make soups, and this is super for that. But what I was really happy with is the way a 4 pound pork shoulder roast cooked evenly and came out better than they ever did in the Analon pans I'd been using for the past 20 years! I gave them up because of the link of non-stick coatings and thyroid problems. I, have developed thyroid issues over the years.... I have no proof that the pans I used did this, but the coincidence was striking to me. I would recommend this stock pot to anyone!

When I’m making beef stroganoff, I like to add mushrooms of which my husband hates. These little ones I use to make up four meals, two each. Perfect size.love them.

Excellent quality, heavy duty soup/stock pot. Very happy with my purchase.

Excellent pan, i cant praise it enough.Its safe, easy to use, and made from the finest quality materials at an amazing price

You would think it's so cute it's only useful as decoration but you can actually cook in this and makes for a really nice presentation piece for whatever you cook on it (even simple breakfasts)

Ottimo prodotto e ben rifinito. Ci cuocio il lesso e lo consiglio
