Amazon Basics Round Enameled Cast Iron Covered Casserole Skillet, 3.1 l, White

I bought this product as seconds from Amazon Warehouse, the packaging was a little scruffy but no damage to either packaging or pan so very happy to receive a discounted product with no difference to a new one. Amazon basics range of products have become a trusted brand for me in ckitchenware, foods and cleaning products reprinting good value for money and starting to become more trend conscious as well. This pan is heavy as expected for cast iron and the enameling is good quality and reasonable thickness to provide a non stick coating without the need to season. There is a rim of non-enameled surface at the point where the lid meets the pan but this is to be expected to provide protection against splitting after rapid heat expansion - the rim will rust if not cleaned and dried effectively then lightly oiled after each use but is a feature I am willing to look after to avoid the lower thermal efficiency and often outright refusal for aluminum pans to work on induction hobs. Needless to say this pan has a wide contact with the hob and heats rapidly and evenly. If I were to have one small suggestion it would be to provide these products in more sizes and darker colours. White enamel is hard to keep white on the outside as well as the inside of a pan - there is only one other colour available - also very light so the pan may end up stained once used between hob and oven but at least it will show it’s been used and loved . Overall this pan is around half the price of salter and cooks professional versions and about a third of the price of Staub or Le Crueset and I’m sure from a cooking point of view the results won’t be noticeably different at my level of cookery.

Half the price of home

Have been pondering getting a Creuset. However I'm not willing to re mortgage the house to get it. So, I've been doing research, reading comments, checking different products and suppliers. Decided that for 30 odd pounds it was worth give it a try, even when there's like half a dozen of bad reviews amongst thousands of good ones. And so far Amazon always sorted me out when things went sideways, so I thought, what the heck let's do it I'm happy I did. It looks so good, heavy like the ones my grandma used to have, no chips no nothing, perfect condition, well packaged, lid packaged well and secured with little grips to avoid breakages in transit. Now, this isn't a toy, and even thought you're not paying Creuset money doesn't mean you can toss it around the kitchen like an old wooden spoon. It's cast iron and it's enamelled. It's heavy and so a little bang can chip it just like the expensive ones, difference is you wouldn't mistreat those because it's been expensive would you? Well, it's the same thing. The expensive one will still break if you don't treat it well so be careful. Also, like all other enamel, don't cook it without liquid. Pro tip, if you did, and you burned something (these coock a lot quicker cause they get hotter) my mom uses bleach on hers and it removes those stains: she has repeated to me many hundred times, so I guess it's true. I quite. Like the design as well. It turns away from the attempt to be that big brand which I like. Cast iron pans have been around since forever, it's not that deep. Is just cast iron and enamel, get over it. I will still need to test the durability over time, but honestly is looking good. Good finish, does what it says on the tin. I'm so glad because I actually got 3 of these in different liters and colors. I definitely reccomend giving it a go.

Absolutely love this casserole! Great quality and easy to clean! It is heavy to use but that's expected from a cast-iron item! There is no sign and it seems like it will last longer, and the food tastes amazing.

The weight of it. It is very heavy empty so when it's full moving it about is very difficult other than that it's great.

Was brilliant value. Used regularly and still in lovely condition. One of the best things I have bought from Amazon.

Looks exactly like the picture and no differrnt to all the expensive brands. The weight is heavy but manageable. It's a big size. I enjoy cooking with it. Easy to clean.

I loved this pan when I first received it, and the price seemed like an absolute bargain compared to Le Creuset. However, the edge chipped the first time I used it. I don’t know how it happened as I certainly didn’t bang it around and I hand washed it. I also bought a casserole pan to match and that has chipped already too. Each time I have used each pan the edges have chipped more. These pans may be a fraction of the price of Le Creuset but the quality is significantly inferior.

This is a great buy. Does what it’s meant to do without costing a week’s rent!! It’s sturdy and weighty, distributes heat evenly and cleans so well. Amazon you did well!

First off, I bought the “Used like new” version and it was described as an item with rough packaging but the item itself is brand new. I’m not attached to packaging so I bought that to save a few bucks. It was delivered today and it is exactly as described. Outer packaging box has seen better days but the product itself was packed in an inner box that was clean and it is brand new. My pan arrived with a small chip on the handle but it’s honestly quite small and not bothersome enough for me to return it. I have used enameled cast iron pots and pans before moving to Canada and this Amazon version is top tier as well. It has a good weight to it, looks aesthetic in ivory white and is a generous size that can easily serve as a frying pan and wok. I can also see myself making sauces in this. I plan to buy in other sizes and shapes to replace my nonstick cheapies.
