Excellent Dutch oven/ cast iron skillet, good quality for my sourdough baking!

Excellent Dutch oven make fantastic bread in it

A classic cast iron pot. I have used ot like a slow cooker and it is great. I would recommend a heat disipator if used on a stove.

I'm stuck between giving it 3* or 4*There was a tiny bit of pitting on the outside. The cast iron is super porous and quite light which means it's cheap cast iron but considering the cost it's not surprising.I decided to sand it down slightly on the inside. not much, just a couple of minutes by hand! I wasn't trying to make it smooth, otherwise the seasoning has trouble adhering. It's also totally optional, the porousness will go but it can take a long time if you aren't using the pan multiple times a day.It's cheap and is probably a good introduction to cast iron for someone who isn't sure, or to add to your collection as it will last a lifetime as long as you don't drop it on a rock or leave it to soak so it gets rusty, etc etc.I started writing this review thinking it was going to be 3* but now I think 4* just because even though it has issues. £30-£35 for a good enough pan that will last you your whole life if you look after it is actually a very good deal.

Have used this for sourdough bread baking, soups and stews, and used the lid as a frypan. Great product, great heat retention. The little silicon grips are a waste of time but would give the oven itself 5 stars.

Nice multi use design, having a cast iron pot is hard work as you have to go through the oiling process every wash otherwise it rusts straight away but the instructions explain this. Works well, good value

Been using this Dutch oven for baking sourdough bread. Good quality, no issues with rust or steam escaping from inside the oven.

I'm not a fan of this brand of cast iron. The texture inside the pot and lid is course, so when I tried to wipe those areas dry with kitchen tissue, bits were getting stuck. The lid rusted as I was cooking a curry, and I didn't realise until afterwards. I think the lid of the pot will need to be seasoned in the oven a lot more before it can be used without rusting. Cast iron cookware can and will rust, but I have experience using Lodge cast iron that does not rust while I first used it and I didn't have to season Lodge cookware in the oven before first used, so I have less patience for this brand. I also prefer smoother texture, its a personal preference but I think the texture has an impact on how quickly it rusts.
