Amazon Basics Cast Iron Dutch Oven Pot with Lid, Enameled, Round, Dual Handles, Heavy-Duty, Medium, 6-Quart, Matte White

Finally used this dutch oven for the first time since catching it at a great price. After deep frying some boneless, skinless chicken breasts Nashville style, I confess that I am blown away. This is a heavy-duty, well built dutch oven that will likely outlast me and be passed along to another generation. It is heavy but the construction is solid and the features are impressive. The white enamel interior is a snap to clean, the handles are broad and easy to grip and the lid fits snugly and is capped by an impressive metal handle. The fact that the lid features condensation nipples speaks to the fact that the design and execution are classic and well executed. I would wholeheartedly recommend this workhorse if it cost $100 or more. Well done Amazon, well done. BTW, I'm still using Le Creseut enameled cast-iron pieces I purchased 40 years ago.

Pot is great! Color is perfect as shown. Cooking is easy and heats food evenly. Easy to clean and food doesn’t stick. Lid fits great, and pot isn’t as heavy as some of the other Dutch ovens I have had

I've become a HUGE fan of AmazonBasics products. I have yet to own one that hasn't been all that was advertised, and that's across a broad spectrum of their products, including batteries, shredders, clothing, cookware, electronics, and accessories!This was a no-brainer purchase after having had a great experience with their smaller 3.3Qt Casserole, made the same way with enameled cast iron. It was and still IS perfect. I am a very advanced and award-winning Home Chef, and I can tell you that I have absolutely NO hesitation about this Dutch Oven. It is really THAT good.When this fantastic-looking neon blue 7.5 qt Dutch Oven arrived, I put it right to work to test. Over the period of two days, I seared, slow cooked, and braised with it, and had great results. Cleaning was maybe a tad more work than much more expensive units, but a dab of BarKeeper's Friend did the job of bringing it back to looking new. (NEVER in the dishwasher!!)No chips or other damage upon arrival, and careful handling should make this Dutch Oven last for years!* Superb build. Made in China, but clearly under intense Amazon quality controls. Excellent!* If instructions are followed, it is relatively easy to clean...even with burnt-on leavings.* Size at 7.5Quarts is sufficient for virtually any use.* Not said in the description or any previous review, but this Dutch Oven IS INDUCTION COMPATIBLE!!* Lid fits on the bottom Pot without issue as well. Use mitts to lift when hot!NEUTRAL:It is limited to 400 deg. While some others are capable of higher temps, I have to be honest, I can't think of anything I cook that would need a Dutch Oven at a higher temperature than that in the oven or range. (If I need higher temps, I use Stainless Steel pots and pans as is appropriate.)TIPS:1. Handle with care! Rough handling is what causes most chipping and similar problems...especially the lid.2. Cast iron rims on the base and lid are bare. Best practice is after cleaning the whole Dutch Oven, rub a bit of vegetable oil along both rims and wipe the excess with a paper towel. That will inhibit any corrosion or rust.3. NEVER...I say again NEVER use a citrus-based cleaner on the Dutch Oven unless you don't mind discoloration.4. LIFT, don't slide the pot over a glass top, or flattop range. (And use mitts because the handles DO get very hot!)5. Finally, while not prohibited, the use of non-metal utensils will help keep the interior safe from damage or scratches!In summary, I can't imagine a better Dutch Oven of this size at this price point. Amazon has done their homework and produced yet another winning product. If you need a large Dutch Oven and don't want to spend 6-7X the price for a Le Cruset, then don't' hesitate! Get this!! HIGHLY recommended! A++

Great pan, easy to clean. Its heavy duty, love its versatility & its a great color.

I use this ALL the time. It distributes heat really well, and I have found that it brings water to a boil quicker than my other pots. Any food stains or burnt on residue instantly wipes off with a paper towel if you leave water and dish soap in the pot overnight. This was a great purchase for the money.

The media could not be loaded.  I’ve owned this 4.5 Qt. Amazon Enameled Cast Iron Dutch Oven for almost two months and have used it three times to date. Upon arrival and at first glance, the gradient blue color is beautiful and super glossy; most importantly, the pot is heavy for its size - as it should be. It looks exactly like the product pictures, with a globular shape than square shape as others. Unfortunately, I also noticed that there was one pin hole and two tiny uneven protrusions on the enamel inside the pot.I own three other enameled cast iron cookware from two other brands (photos attached for size comparison) and performance wise, this cast iron by Amazon performs equally to them. The pot isn’t exceptional or special but it gets the job done. Other than the pin holes and protrusions, I have no complaints. This isn’t my first rodeo so when heating up the pot and while cooking, I have zero issues.I am starting the pan off at 4-Stars and will update my review as time progresses, or if I have any major issues with its durability or performance in subsequent months. For the amateur home cook, or for anyone who is new to cast iron cooking, below I’ve included tips that you may find useful while using this or any other enameled cast iron cookware.================================Regarding the 3 Photos and 1 video I've Attached:(Note: all photos were taken with an iPhone under kitchen lights during the evening.

Amazon Enameled Cast Iron Dutch Oven on gas stove over medium heat, with food cooking.================================TIPS THAT YOU MAY FIND USEFUL While Using your cast iron dutch oven:(Note: I included these similar tips in my review of a different enameled cast iron pot from a different brand. My tips can apply to all enameled cast iron cookware)1. If you find that you have issues with food sticking, it could be that you are not heating up your cast iron pot properly to prevent undue hot spots.I heat my pot up gradually starting at low, then medium, then high heat. After my pot is very hot is when I add my fat/cooking oil. As the oil is heating up in the pot, I lift it and swirl the oil around to coat all sides of the pot that will come in contact with food.2. Take into consideration the temperature of the items you are adding to your heated pot. As a general rule for cooking: when ever possible, ensure that the items you are adding to a hot pot are at room temperature, rather than ice cold from the fridge; this will assist with even cooking.3. Also, get comfortable with adjusting your heat by lowering and raising it based on what you’ve added to the pot. In general, you will need more heat at the beginning of the cooking process, and less heat towards the end. If you cook by recipe, I highly recommend that you read all the steps ahead before starting, so that you become familiarized with all the procedures, allowing you to maneuver accordingly when you start cooking.4. At the exception of searing meat to achieve a brown crust, deep frying, or when caramelizing onions, you should be stirring your pot (I recommend using a wooden spoon) every few minutes when cooking in cast iron that is placed over high heat. If you are braising on the stove at low heat versus braising in the oven, the frequency of your stirring will need to be adjusted. No matter how you’re cooking though, a watchful eye on the pot plus stirring, should both be a habit not an afterthought.5. For all cooking vessels in general but especially for cast iron: after cooking, allow your pot to cool down completely before cleaning. NEVER immerse a hot cast iron pot into cold water, nor pour cold dish water into hot pot. You risk not only being scald by dangerous steam, but you also risk weakening the enamel, therefore lessening the durability of your pots over time.6. This cookware and others like it from Tramontina and Lodge are economical and if used correctly, will perform well for most cooking; if used correctly, they should also last for years. Nonetheless, if you can afford it, authentic enameled cast iron cookware made in France by Le Creuset is the best way to go. Le Creuset is the gold standard in cast iron cookware and their quality is second to none. I definitely recommend this Amazon dutch oven but if you can afford to splurge, Le Creuset's reputation is stellar. As a professional chef, I've used them in high end kitchens and their quality and performance is premier.

This is a beast of a pot. It has so many uses and works so well. It is very sturdy and cleans easily. No scratches, stains, or issues while cooking. It cooks very evenly and throughly. The lid handle can get a little warm when using but that’s what happened with heat. Love it and will use it for many many years to come.

El producto es impecable, bonito, funcional y similar en características a la versión francesa.

Absolutely love my white Dutch oven.It’s wonderful for everything I throw at it. I use it at least once a week.It sits permanently on my stovetop because I love the look of it. It also looks terrific on my buffet and table.Excellent price.Excellent quality.Why pay for the ‘name’ on yours when this one is equally as good?I’ve even scorched spaghetti sauce and it cleaned off without serious scrubbing!I recommend this 100%.An especially great gift.It will be a kitchen workhorse for years.

Estupendo era lo que esperaba y más

La verdad estoy encantado con la olla, genera una cocción uniforme y al momento de limpiar es súper práctica ya que con el esmaltado nada se pega, fuerte resistente y cocina delicioso.

Buenísima la calidad de la olla, tengo algunas otras ollas de otras marcas que han sido más caras y esta tiene la misma calidad a un precio más bajo. Es muy bonita, cuando toma la temperatura adecuada cocina a la perfección, fácil de lavar además de que su manual de cuidado está muy completo y perfectamente explicado. Cuando necesite algún otro producto de hierro sin duda lo buscaré primero de esta marca.
