Great value if you have the biceps

I was looking for a 6-quart Dutch oven (5-quart not large enough for some of my recipes) and this 7-quart enameled cast iron unit popped up at a great price.I am sure the listed weight is accurate but this is the first time I've had cookware so heavy I had to focus to put it on the top shelf of my side-by-side fridge.To be fair, that shelf is 6 feet off the floor, but it's worth leaving the lid on the counter, and then putting it on inside the fridge!I like the dimples on the inside of the lid…

Pros
  • She loves it not me it was a gift
Cons
  • The cleaning process may require extra effort

Great gift idea: my feedback

I purchased this item for a gift for my son-in-law, who loves to cook, and has most of the cooking and my daughter and husband home, and for their children. He expressed interest in having one this size, so I'm very pleased with the price and it looks like it's gonna be really good quality. I think you'll be really thrilled with it. This is much less expensive than mini other brands that I have seen and I feel like it's gonna be good quality item for him. Thank you.

Pros
  • This thing works amazingly, and not just for funny Dutch oven jokes
Cons
  • The product may retain odors

Excellent Bread maker

The pot worked GREAT! this isn't my first pot like this and they basically are all the same, except I've had one that was Way more expensive and it was dark on the inside, I didn't really like the dark color due to it browned my bread way too dark. I prefer the lighter one's. any whooo, This particular pot is only rated to 400degrees, . I preheated my oven to 420 cooked the bread for 18 at this degree then raised my oven temp to 440 and cooked the bread the last 15 minutes at 440. removed lid…

Pros
  • Beautiful green color and nothing wrong with it. Cooks evenly and food doesn’t stick. Good price.
Cons
  • The size may not be suitable for small households

AWESOME POT on my review.

These was the greatest deal! I tried to justify spending a whole lot more on a well known brand name cast iron/ coated Dutch oven. They were just SO EXPENSIVE. There was a deal of some sort on the Revain brand. I think it was under 50 bucks. When I saw it came in red.well certainly sold me. YESSS we love it so much. Chili, stews, pot roast, chicken n' dumplings, Pasoli.all cook in much less time , the darn pot isn't wiggling erratically all over the stove (due to somewhat warped pot bottoms)…

Pros
  • Compared to the other one we have, this is equally good and highly recommended
Cons
  • The cast iron material takes too long to cool down

The absolute best pot and bang for your buck!

I have had this pot for one year tomorrow, and I still absolutely love it! It cooks my meals amazingly! It’s very large and durable. The only drawback is that it’s heavy! I have back issues and it’s hard to lift the top up and down while cooking. However, we love it and I’m going to order another Caribbean Blue one ( smaller then 7 quarts ). I might order a 3 quarts. However, yoi will absolutely love this. It’s so much better than name brands! Happy cooking.

Pros
  • This pot worked well for making Chili. Easy to clean. Glad I purchased this.
Cons
  • The cast iron material is prone to rusting

Great heat distribution

Works great on the stove top and in the oven and since it is the "amazon" brand, it costs less than the name brand but still does a great job. Nice even heat and cleans up easily. It is a bit heavy, so beware if you don't have some strength. Was always fearful of getting one of these because I have a smooth top stove. I just make sure to be careful and not slam it down on the stove!

Pros
  • One of my favorite purchases from 2022! I love the look and cooking everything in it especially soups!!
Cons
  • The enamel coating may be difficult to clean

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Really overall a great quality

I use this for stovetop AND oven baking. Have used it at least 4 times in 2 weeks. Only mishap is, no matter how careful, there is a chip on the creamy interior edge. Still for the PRICE, IT'S FANTASTIC!

Pros
  • Received this as a Christmas Gift, and totally love it.
Cons
  • The handle design may not be comfortable for all users

I’m in love: my feedback

I received it in a timely matter. It was packaged well so it didn’t have any chips. It was a nice size and when I washed it it was easy to clean. I have a big family and it worked out pretty well. It’s a little pricey but it’s worth the money. I just got it so I don’t know how the enamel will hold up but so far so good. It says to hand wash and not put in the washing machine.

Pros
  • I love the color but My dutch oven was chip and starch up.
Cons
  • It requires seasoning before use

Love this, cooks well, but after a few months of use it's starting to either stain or get some kind of seasoning on the bottom. It's only like a light beige color. Maybe this is normal with Dutch Ovens, I don't know, this is my first. But this discolorization is not easily scrubbed away.

Pros
  • Cast iron covered dutch oven in red with side handles and fitted lid; oven safe to 400 degree Fahrenheit
Cons
  • The lid may be difficult to remove in certain situations

So far so good on my review.

Heats water quickly on counter top induction unit.I love the way it cooks soup. It heats evenly.I've only had it a week. I have used it only a few times.I don't know how well the enamel coating will hold up.My wife is not a big fan. She doesn't usually do the cooking, and she doesn't like to handle it because it is so heavy.I will update if the finish doesn't hold up.I bought used, good condition. It was still packed in it's original Styrofoam packing in perfect condition.I expect to use it…

Pros
  • Home & Kitchen
Cons
  • The product may not be non-stick

Love, love, love, great quality, great product!

I did not have a Dutch oven and bought this on sale. I believe it was because of the color. I use this pot all the time, it is much bigger than I imagined and a great roasting pan.

Pros
  • Perfect size and it cools great. The color was why I bought it. Love it
Cons
  • The enamel coating may crack under extreme temperatures

Beautiful color for my opinion

I purchased the 6qt. The blue color is as described on the website.Arrived very fast and packed very well. No damage. No issues with enamel coating.I will update this in a few weeks once I've put it through some cooks both on the stove and in the oven.

Pros
  • This Dutch oven is oven-safe up to 400 degrees Fahrenheit, making it highly versatile for cooking a wide range of dishes
Cons
  • The product may arrive damaged during shipping

Versatile pot for my opinion

This was a xmas prez and I like it. Nice color. Heats well and even. No hot spots. A little heavy for older people. Cleaned well even after making mulled wine and letting it sit for a couple days. No staining justwiped out easily. You can use this pot for boiling, baking and just about anything you need it to do. A great versatile go to pot.

Pros
  • The 7.3-quart capacity of this Dutch oven provides ample space for cooking large meals, making it perfect for feeding family and guests
Cons
  • The product may be difficult to lift and move around

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Way less expensive than le creuset and just as good.

Bought this for a Xmas gift. Way more affordable than le crueset and just as good! Easy clean up and very heavy. The product may require frequent seasoning.

Pros
  • The Amazon Basics Enameled Cast Iron Covered Dutch Oven can be used on all stovetops, including induction, making it a highly versatile piece of cookware
Cons
  • The product may require frequent seasoning

It is a useful pot - should have been slightly flatter

This pot is a very nice color, and can be used to cook many different things. If it were a little bit more flatter, it would be extremely versatile. Not flat like a pan, but more like a tall casserole.

Pros
  • Cast iron for even heat distribution and retention; enamel doesn't have non-stick function; hand wash only
Cons
  • It may require special cleaning techniques

White not bright best in my review

I wanted to be able to leave the pot on the stove. The white was more beige which wasn’t what I was looking for. That's my feedback!

Pros
  • Solid large Dutch oven. Worked perfect for making bread
Cons
  • The handle gets too hot when in use

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Good price and pretty color

Good price for a Dutch oven. Not as heavy duty as the brand names but also doesn't weigh as much which makes it a bit easier to handle and cooks food well. Heat distribution is even. The color is very pretty.

Pros
  • I use this Dutch Oven for everything and I absolutely love it! Making bread in it is my favorite!
Cons
  • It's not dishwasher safe

Revainrating 5 out of 5

It’s really nice for the money

My first time owning one. Love to cook and make things from scratch. So far it’s been amazing for the few dishes I’ve made with it. Gonna bake bread in it next to see if it will work as well as I’ve heard. Very beautiful but a bit heavy.

Pros
  • The red enamel finish not only adds a pop of color to any kitchen but is also easy to clean and maintain
Cons
  • The enamel coating may be prone to bubbling

Love this Dutch oven!

This has been a favorite of mine. It’s extremely versatile. Have cooked many meals in this including bread.It is non stick and wonderfully large.My only reason for giving it 4 stars is because it did scratch fairly easy.

Pros
  • It's nice and heavy and easy to clean
Cons
  • The color may fade over time
