I loved that this was both a dutch oven and a lid that doubles as a skillet. I'm not sure that the 3 star review is exactly fair for the product since the things that I don't like may be entirely my fault. I was able to season the dutch oven just fine after using, but the lid/skillet has been tricky and remains sticky. I also underestimated just how heavy it would be. Like I said, that may just be me and if you are a huge fan of cast iron you might love this.
