I had been looking for a large, reasonably-priced pot for cooking chili, soups, and the like, that could also be used in the oven.  My search settled on manufacturers I was familiar with and whose products were well reviewed and that I may already have and have been happy with. I found this 5-quart Dutch oven and thought it would meet my needs. Does it ever!  Because of its depth and shape, it heats evenly and efficiently.  Its twin handles make it easy (and safe) to carry.  It has a well-fitted cover, is weighty without being heavy, is easy to clean, and looks good in my kitchen.  While I have cooked with other large pots, this one is by far the best one I have had for cooking up a chili or a soup. Someday, I may actually use it in the oven.
