This is my first Dutch Oven and I love it! Everything is is a 5-star. It’s cast iron so it is heavy but it’s just a 3 quart, which is perfect size for me and I’d say up to 3-4 could eat a meal from whatever is being cooked. This can go go into the oven up to 450°, as well as cook on stovetop. It continues to cook for a bit after removing from heat since it retains heat. It washes up so easily too! I love this specific size, but they do have other sizes, colors and products. I 100% recommend.
