This is a great dish / dutch oven. I bought it because like most of the country right now, I am trying to make my own sourdough of course, but have been meaning to buy one for a long time. This has a decent non-stick coating, and as it's aluminium it's lightweight - which is great when it's full & you're trying to get it in / out of the oven. It does have a max temperature of 220 C which is fine for me as my oven doesn't go higher than that. I bought it whilst it was on offer, so I feel that it is good value for money. I perhaps wouldn't pay the RRP for it, and would instead opt for a cast iron one, but that's just my opinion. Anyway, overall I would recommend this if you're looking for a relatively "cheap & cheerful" option.
