Upon receiving the item, I noticed that the knob on the lid was quite loose and eventually came off. I attempted to reattach it as best I could, but it’s not very flush, causing it to move around when I pick up the lid. Despite this, the Dutch oven performed well when I cooked, conducting heat evenly and nicely. I appreciate the versatility of this Dutch oven and its high walls, which provide a more substantial cooking surface compared to a shallow Dutch oven. Additionally, the cleaning process was a breeze. I was able to easily remove any stuck-on food and wash the Dutch oven with minimal effort.
