Overall, a good pot.
By Rachel Anonymous on Reviewed in the United States on September 13, 2021
I'm pretty pleased with the five-quart dutch oven overall. Caveats: I haven't put it in the oven yet, and I've only used it a couple of times. The good: 1) It's light! (The lid is oddly heavy in comparison.) If you hang your pots, don't worry about hanging this one. 2) It's really great at even heat distribution. I cooked up a bunch of eggs (eight) and vegetables in it and didn't have to put it in the oven like with a frittata--everything got cooked. I was impressed. 3) Cleaning is a snap. So far, the nonstick works. I put it in the dishwasher, and no issues yet. 4) It's a nice size if you aren't cooking for a bunch of people. The less good: 1) As other reviewers mentioned, the handles get warm. They don't get hot, though, so it's okay. Probably a side effect of being able to put this in the oven. 2) It's light, so it does slide around on the burner. I cook on a gas range, not a flat-burnered stove, and it still happens. Stirring without a hand on it isn't likely to work well.

Wide and short
By William on Reviewed in the United States on November 22, 2023
The pot is as described but is a bit short and wide for a Dutch oven. Biggest problem is that heating is very uneven and slow. On a gas range it starts boiling around the edges far before the center. This baffled me but then I wondered if they put a conductive layer in for induction stoves. If so that will act as an insulator (relative to aluminum) slowing heating and making it uneven with gas. Constuction quality, ease of cleaning etc are good, it just isn't great at its primary purpose. The company should not try to combine pots for induction and gas. For the tiny sliver of people who use induction they can just by iron based pots and not ruin pots for the rest of us who use what God intended: gas.
