IMUSA USA 0.7Qt Traditional Colombian Mini Caldero (Dutch Oven) for Cooking and Serving, 0.7 Quart, Silver

Nice little masterpiece good for small stuff

Es pequeña y muy funcional

This pot seems pretty small from the description, but for single person (or side dish) cooking, it's the smart-bomb of dutch ovens. Overall size (including handles) is a hair over 7.5", the inside diameter of the pot itself is just under 5-3/8". It will easily cook 1/4 cup of Basmati rice (150 calories) with room to spare for some chopped up vegetables or meat. It will fit 3 large eggs (210 calories). I measured the liquid volume to the rim and it came out to just over 600ml or about 21 ounces, which if you think about it, is the majority of a standard wine bottle (750ml). The lid fits very well, and the knob on top remains cool to the touch when used over a burner. It will fit into an 8" dutch oven, which means you can "double bake" by placing a spacer underneath the aluminum caldera. It can go directly from stove/oven to the kitchen table on a hot pad, although I recommend using a lexan spoon so you're not scraping into the aluminum. Used with adequate oil/butter it does not stick if the temperatures are kept down. It has become a "go to" pot in my kitchen for convenience and function. It also is useful to establish "portion control" for those of us who wish to reduce our calorie intake. Great item!

Too small

I have used this type of pan for years for rice. Before I would usually make to much. As I hate leftovers, this is just the right size for one.
