I’m beyond impressed: this pot has an excellent heft to it and the lid fits well. The colour is rich, subtle and as depicted on product page when viewed on my iPad. I used it for the first time today, baking one of those ubiquitous no-knead overnight bread recipes in it; the results were beyond perfect.
Let me add here that I own several pieces of Le Creuset cast iron ware. I do understand that my new pot will not have the same gauge enamel coating as the Le Creuset; enameling is an expensive process. With care, this pot will last me a long time and for the modest price, I couldn’t be happier. Now excuse me while I go buy another one!
Oh yes, order fulfillment was perfect as usual: tracking and delivery was superfast, unbelievably so, considering I purchased it only a fortnight before Christmas.
