Overmont Enameled Cast Iron Dutch Oven - 5.5QT Pot with Lid Cookbook & Cotton Potholders - Heavy-Duty Cookware for Braising, Stews, Roasting, Bread Baking orange

Beautiful pot! I bought the 4.5 qt in a turquoise color so it would match other décor in my kitchen (I plan to leave it out). It is honestly larger than I need for the two of us, but will come in handy for when we have family or guests. The 4.5 would be perfect for 4-6 people. It arrived well-wrapped in sturdy packaging, with no damage. Also included was a little cookbook, small pot holders that wrap the handles, a sponge, care instructions, & silicone hot plate (nice touch). I have now cooked soup/stews with it three or four times. After allowing it time to heat properly with oil in the bottom, it held heat well and performed great. It has a nice wide bottom for more contact with the diced veggies while they are softening. It also cleaned up very nicely. I used a pliable plastic pot scraper to gently remove the stuck-on bits, let it sit wet for a just few minutes, then cleaned it with a sponge. Not hard or time consuming at all. It is of course heavy, which was new for me, but turns out I like that. Cooking in it is fun and feels somehow elevated.

the oven came in very protective packaging, there were no chips or scratches or anything, and it is so pretty!! it comes with a care and cleaning guide, cutie little pot holders, a rubber heat mat thing, and a little recipe book. color is immaculate. very satisfied.

I’ve had my eye on a Dutch Oven for eons. I could not justify the cost of the popular brand. And I’m glad I didn’t. This Dutch Oven is everything any other brand offers. Looks good. Heavy as can be - enamel is perfect. I have a chicken cooking happily away on the stove right now. Very happy with this purchase including the quality, price point and functionality. Note: I order the 7 quart - a 5.5 would have been sufficient - so maybe I get two?? Would not hesitate to buy or recommend this brand.

This dutch oven has a good amount of weight to it but not too heavy, enamel appears to be well made, I used a high point oil to season the cast iron that shows on the lid and rim, heated it in a 400 degree oven for 1 hour to tryto help prevent rust on the cast iron and I didn't notice that oil had dripped both inside and outside the pan but it was easy enough to get the brown oil stains off with dawn, hot water and the white scrubby that came with it. The dutch oven held up well to 400 degree heat( My choice not to go to recommended temp as it was not needed at this time. Appears to have a good capacity and size for making a decent amount of food and have leftovers depending on how many your serving.I haven't used this dutch oven yet to cook but I will update as soon as I do.I did notice some sticky residue on the cover rim from the oil. That was kind of a pain to try to get off even after applying dawn with my fingers and letting it sit for a bit but it's still there. I'm trying to figure out if the color that I am seeing is from the oil or from the paint color. It is sitting on my burner and it adds a pop of color to my stove.

keep in mind that cast iron is a bit heavy but the pot is great. It came nicely packaged without any damage. I used to make a pork butt ratatouille and since I got the 7 qt it held the roast and quite a few of the vegetables. For families, this is the ideal size, for single guys like me it also great as I can cook enough to freeze and have some food for the future. The food came out perfect. One word of caution; the enamel at the exterior is slippery, so you have to be careful when cooking as it can slide easily off the burner. Other than that it looks like it is high quality and only time will tell if it last with the rigors of cooking. Next I am going to use it to bake some bread. I have a smaller non-enamel cast iron Dutch oven that I use for a single loaf of bread so now I can either make 2 loafs or a bigger one. Based on my limited use as I just got it, I do recommend it.

I've wanted a cast iron Dutch oven for a long time but didn't want to pay $300 for the ones you see in W&S. This works wonderfully and you can't beat the price. Love all the color options as well. Cleans up so easily and the meal we made in it last night was top notch. Don't hesitate to buy this. I only wish I would have bought it sooner.

I purchased the 5.5 QT Dutch Oven in Forest Green. Not only is it beautiful to look at, but after giving it a wash, the first batch of white chili for the season was made. The pot heats evenly and is plenty large enough. It came with a pair of handle potholders, but I prefer my own full size, as well as a round honeycomb silicone trivet. Nice add-ons. I highly recommend this affordable cookware.

I use this to bake sourdough bread & it works perfectly. The finish is excellent. I do not need to wash it because it gets sterilized every time I use it and there is nothing left inside that I can't brush away with a towel or napkin. As long as you don't get it wet while it's still hot, the finish should last a long, long time. Highly recommended. The lid fits really tightly & the handle is large and sturdy. It comes with hot pads for the handles which work great for handling while hot. It's important to realize that the enamel and cast iron change size at different rates of speed, so, don't subject it to any abrupt temperature changes and it will not chip, crack or otherwise fail. I can put it in the voen and set it for 450°F, bake a loaf of bread and then let it cool at room temperature. I've made many loaves and it still looks like brand new.

This Dutch oven is hands down the most versatile piece of kitchen equipment I own. It’s incredibly solid, with excellent quality and a nice, sturdy lid with a handle that’s comfortable to grip. The size is perfect for cooking for my family of three, and it cleans up easily, which is a big plus. On top of all that, it looks so good that I just leave it out on the stove. Highly recommend it for anyone looking to invest in a quality piece that’s both functional and stylish!

Hace poco que la tengo pero puedo decir que ya no cocino mis estofados, sopas o potajes en otra olla que no sea esta. Estoy encantado con ella y no creo que tenga nada que envidiar a otras marcas conocidas que prácticamente triplican su precio. Hay que tener en cuenta que para esta olla lo mejor son cocciones largas a un nivel de calor medio/bajo, ya que conservan bien el calor. La tapa viene con unas pequeñas estalactitas en su interior para que el vapor se condense y vuelvan a caer, evitando la perdida de agua.

Muy buena olla.
