This Dutch oven is extremely well made and perfect for a variety of dishes such as soups, casseroles, and roasts. It's the perfect size for my family's meals and not too big to store  in my cabinets. This was really easy to learn to use and the food tastes great after cooking it in this Dutch oven. It does get extremely hot, including the lid so you need to be careful when handling. I will be using again to cook and it's really easy to clean afterwards. Nothing stuck to the sides of the pot so an easy swipe with water and soap is all it takes. Very affordable price for what it is.
