Artisan 7-Quart Round Enameled Cast Iron Dutch Oven – Slate Gray, Heavy-Duty Cookware for Slow Cooking, Baking, Roasting with Lid

I bought this to make artisan's bread in. You have to heat the dutch oven up to 450 degrees for 20 min then you cook in it for another 45 min. I have made at least 40 loafs of bread in this and it still looks as good as it did the day I bought it. The enamel has not split on lid or at side of pan and I have bought a couple that have. This makes the perfect size of bread. And it would make a large pot roast, soup or stew, use it in over or on top of stove. without breaking the bank. This pan its my go to every time I make bread and I have several dutch ovens. I always use parchment paper but you will still always get oil spots and they clean up easy without having to scrub, just use a little soap and water after use.

I know that it seems silly to use the words, "Obsessed" and "Cherished" and "IN LOVE" for objects...but I also realize that I am an old women of 45...and kitchen items make me weak in the knees...far more than Jason Momoa ever could. This GORGEOUS Dutch oven is not only sexy to look at, but a joy to play with...much like my boyfriend. Jovie, which I what I have named this pink treasure, is so cute, that I keep her on my stove top at all time. And much like her name, she does bring me great joy! I have cooked things like Lasagna Soup and Fresh Cranberries in this amazing pot, and the inside porcelain is still as white as me in the winter. I am now trying to figure out if I need to add to the family and get the larger capacity ones, or if Jovie and I will live happily every after...just the two of us. Is there room in my heart for another member of the Crock Pot family? Only time, and my boyfriends debit card will tell.

Bought as a gift for Christmas and it is a dream. (Bought as a gift but I've been using it). Doesn't get dirty easily, stands up to the burners really well. It's nice and big, definitely cooks for many people. The color is great, and it looks just like it did on the listing. The lids design allows for accumulated steam to be spread out around the pot, which if you're looking into getting a Dutch oven, is really important. Overall, it has been a great purchase, would definitely recommend!

I am incredibly happy with this purchase. I have never owned a Dutch oven before and when I started baking bread I wanted to buy one. I am typically someone who indulges in the “designer” version if I know it is something I will have for life and never have to purchase again … but the competitor is $400+ and I see zero difference in quality or aesthetic for that matter so the indulgence was not worth it to me. I took my chance and purchased and I am SO HAPPY I did. This product is very heavy and high quality. I have now been using for 10 months and there is no damage (any thing you see on the sides is not permanent and scrubs right off). I purchased the 7 qt and it’s probably larger than I need but now it can be used for more. I love this product! I live in an apartment with a small amount of storage space but if I move I will buy the smaller version as well. Great investment and highly recommend!

I started making sour dough bread and this pot works so well and is just the right size. I love the color too. The price was reasonable.

I absolutely LOVE this pot. I've cooked several meals in it already. It cooks evenly and cleans easily.

The paint on mine chipped, but it works great. Perfect for breads and soups.

Love love love this Dutch oven! Even more beautiful in person!
