I really like this 5 quart cast iron enameled Dutch Oven. This was the perfect pot to make chili and soup in. It cooked to perfection with even heat distribution. The pot is very heavyweight as it is cast iron. It also comes with a very durable cast iron lid as well. It is very pretty at the same time. I loved the two toned appearance of the external pot and the white interior that allowed you to see everything. The only downfall of using cast iron is that the pot must be hand washed. Overall it is a great pot and I would recommend to others.
