This is a high quality Dutch oven. It is very heavy which allows for easy temperature consistency and cleans up really easy. You can cook just about everything in it with ease. The only complaint I have is that it has a small chip on the rim where the lid meets the casserole and I assume it was due to how heavy the lid is. I'm pretty delicate with mine because it is so heavy so I'm disappointed that it was so easily chipped. But overall I'd recommend this product
