Very nice product. But I was disappointed to find out that the glass lid is only safe to be used up to 350°, even though the pot can withstand 500°. Since I had bought this dutch oven to bake sourdough bread in, at a temperature of 465°, I almost returned it. However, I found a lid from one of my other dutch ovens that fit. I don't know yet if it will retain the heat as well as the cast iron ones, but it is definitely much lighter.
