I had high expectations for this new Cast Iron Dutch Oven from Rachael Ray and it did not disappoint! First of all, it was packaged so very well! Out of the box and straight to the kitchen, a quick wash, and in went my sourdough (I was prepared for the pots arrival)! Nice even cook, holds the temperature so well and I am thankful it’s heat resistant to 500 degrees. It cooks amazingly and looks beautiful while doing so! It’ll be a workhorse in the kitchen and will last for years to come!
