What does this mean?Pros & Cons
Pros
It rivals le creuset in construction while only being marginally heavier and at a fraction of the cost. It is sturdy, great capacity and i just love the colour. Very sturdy. Doesn't seems to lose its color.
The 5 qt size is perfect for a medium size batch of spaghetti sauce. Perfect for making double batches of things like stew, spaghetti sauces and soups. Good sized eyelets for holding the pot even with gloves.
The enamel on this dutch oven seems to be of superior quality than my lagostina. It has all the features an enameled cast iron dish should have. The ceramic coating inside is very durable and the finish on the outside looks great.
It is easy to clean in hot soapy water. Sometimes i need to use a simple dish brush or plastic scouring pad for baked on food. I've found that soaking the cookware in water for 15 minutes makes everything easier.
It literally lives on my stovetop. Can't wait to use it to bake bread and braise some short ribs or lamb shanks. I love that it goes from cooktop to oven.

Providing you're cooking with it properly, nothing sticks that you don't want to stick and it cleans up like new every time.
Build quality up there with our le creuset.
Price
Cooks evenly and the price was great.
This is the best value for your money.
Le creuset will always be the cadillac of cast iron cookware but at the price point of close to $600+ its quite price tag.
Shipping
The dutch oven arrived quickly and in perfect shape.
Packaging/appearance
This was a christmas gift and she said it was exactly what she wanted
Competitiveness
For the price this is fantastic and similar to those french brands which cost an arm and a leg.
This was the best economical option recommended on america's test kitchen vs the expensive french alternative.
If you would like to buy an economical dutch oven that is comparable then this cuisinart oven is your answer.
It rivals le creuset in construction while only being marginally heavier and at a fraction of the cost.
