BK Dutch Oven Indigo Collection

I am beyond satisfied with this product...in fact I could say I am thrilled. The quality is absolutely excellent. I have so far cooked a slow braised meal and a quantity of plain rice. The pot retains even heat throughout and provides excellent results. I have only used on an electric stovetop and have yet to try in a slow-oven situation. I had an Emile Henry dutch oven for many years until I broke it. I didn't want to have to invest in another ceramic product as that can always be somewhat risky. I have also used a plain cast iron, dutch oven, (which gets the job done but with a lack of finesse heat-wise). This pot is comparable to the Emile Henry but has a much better no stick quality about it if you follow their direction of using a thin layer of oil inside the pot before you start the cooking process. The pot also has a nice solid feel to it, much like both the ceramic and plain cast iron but not as heavy as an enameled cast iron dutch oven. The pot's design is fabulous with a slightly curved bottom for easy stirring and circulation of heat; the lid is slightly domed also, and has a great fit. I wish this pot had come up in the similar product search on Amazon...I only looked it up after reading a foodie webpage's 10 best list for dutch ovens. After finding it on Amazon, I saw all the great reviews many from Europe but they can be easily translated and those reviews combined with the great open-box price I jumped on it and am glad that I did.
