I got this a few weeks ago. Let me start off by saying it has a great size! It's so big which is great for us a family of 6 just the size we needed. You can make meals ahead of this and pop it in the oven, make bread, stews, everything can be cooked in this pot. It's made from cast iron which holds in the heat and we found that it induces heat higher too way better than any other pot I have owned. It's coated in enamel seamlessly. No chipping, discoloring or rust all all and we have used it hard the past few weeks because we have loved it so much. It has a unique underside of the lid that has drip points for catching steam it's an all around great pot. It's a little on the heavy side you just have to use a muscle. It's seems very durable and I'm sure this will continue to be a great cast iron to keep in our family for many years to come! Overall we are extremely happy with this purchase!
