Be careful when you order this. The 1.5 quart is a small thing. A regular sized dutch oven is 4.5 quarts. A bit confusing because they keep the same title, but show the capacity as the correct size.  This guy is Heavy! That's why it's 4 stars and not 5. I wish it was a bit lighter. But it's inaugural meal came off quite well. Just the right size, and easy clean up. Note that the instructions say to not use citric based dish soap or it will matte the finish.  This pot will outlast me, which is just what I was looking for.
