This Dutch oven cast iron is very cute and presentable. Super smooth & glossy. It was easy to season, heats up evenly, holds a lot, and does sear pretty nicely. However, after a few uses on medium to medium high, some corners of the pot chipped and burned. On a white pot, it’s quite noticeable. The pot is also a bit heavy for a 3 quart pot, which does make it a bit more durable but also unnecessarily heavy for that size. While not major, the rim isn’t flush and releases a lot of steam on one side. But for the price point, it’s great and would definitely recommend.
