Sunset Orange , 5-Quart Cast Iron Dutch Oven : Crock Pot 109469.02 Artisan Round Cast Iron Dutch Oven with Non-Stick Surface, 5 Quart, Sunset Orange

Exorbitantly priced. Average product. My piece intact was defective. The lid was chipped

Chegou antes do prazo e veio muito bem embalada, em duas caixas e bem encaixado. Amei a panela, ela é bem pesada e é grande. Achei o preço incrível dada a qualidade do produto, mesmo com as taxas alfandegárias ainda assim saiu muito barato. Muito parecida com a francesa Le Creuset, porém o acabamento interno não é tão perfeito como a LC, entretanto, isso não afeta em nada a qualidade e a beleza do produto! Com certeza comprarei outras peças.

I bought this primarily for sourdough baking and it has worked extremely well so far. It feels heavy, solid, and durable, which helps with even heat retention during baking. The build quality inspires confidence that it will last a long time. I also like the look of it—it’s clean and presentable enough to leave out on the counter (however its pretty big). While I’ve mainly used it for sourdough, it’s versatile enough that I can see it being useful for other dishes as well. I will say mine showed up with a chip but amazon was very quick to rectify the problem!

I had been looking for a dutch oven for a while now, I felt it might be the missing link in my bread making journey, so after mixed success I decided to buy one. I was looking at 5 quart pots but thought they might be a bit small for me so a 6 quart was my sweet spot.I ended up going for the Tefal 6 quart but then I realised I would have to wait 3 weeks to get it in. Being impatient , as I am , I searched for another solution , then after much research I settled on the Crock Pot brand by Sunbeam . The only problem was I had to go with a 7 quart which is about 6.6 litres. This was right on my price point.I didn't want to go ultra cheap and I didn't want to pay a premium because it was made in France and after all, is the brand name going to make much difference in cooking performance with an inert object of the same design and characteristics. The pot arrived nicely packaged and with no damage a nice bright red. It is made of cast iron and enamel and is manufactured for Sunbeam in China . The edge of the pot where the lid meets the edge of the pot is bare iron which makes sense as there will be friction and continued lifting and dropping could lead to an enamel edge breaking. The handles are nice and wide and you can get a good grip on them .The lid carries dimples which helps spread the condensation evenly when it drops back into whatever you are cooking.I have seen this design on pressure cookers . My first use of the pot was making a sour dough bread. Unfortunately mine was too hydrated , so was hard to form, none the less I used some cooking paper and lifted it into the pot. I placed it in the oven set at 230C The pot itself heated up very quickly and after 25 minutes I lifted the lid to see that my bread had risen .I left the lid off for another 15 minutes and then removed the bread which actually turned out a lot better than many of my previous attempts before I had bought this pot. All in all I can see many uses for this pot from slow cooking to braising . It is heavy and feels like quality coming with a limited Life time warranty ,which basically means if it is faulty or breaks in normal use without the operator causing the problem you will be able to make a warranty claim.

Excelente custo benefício! Recomendo e indico.

It’s very heavy excellent quality and beautiful color. Made quite a few dishes in it and it’s big enough to accommodate food quantity for around 10 to 11 people Very easy to clean.
