Summary: Simply excellent!!
Comment: I have 5 dutch ovens. 2 to 16 Qt. All are great, but this one will be my favorite. Just the right size for almost everything. Made 5 Qt. of baked beans in it yesterday. Super! Meat and fowl cooks perfectly and it is easy to clean. Cook slow and long and you can't go wrong! This will do everything just as well as the high priced brands.

Summary: Quite a decent pot for the price
Comment: While this charming pot is clearly a pale imitation of Le Creuset, it is also a third the price... and for the money, it's looking like a good purchase. The enamel seems sturdy, the cast iron seems heavy and even, and it definitely serves as well in cooking as is to be expected of a big heavy enameled cast-iron pot. The lid does not fit as snugly and keenly as its more expensive counterpart, the inside of the handles is a little rough, and the edges are more prone to rust than I would prefer... again, though, my basis for comparison is Le Creuset, which is an unfair standard to hold it up to given the price-point.

The lid handle is silicone, which seems as if it will hold up well over time - and only time will tell. Likewise with the quality of the enameling. I may have to come back and revise my review if it chips or crazes prematurely, but as of a week into owning it and using it regularly, I am very satisfied.

Designed to perform on the stove or in the oven, this Cast Iron covered Dutch Oven by Rachael Ray features a large cooking surface to roast a chicken, slow cook a hearty beef stew or simmer a three-bean chili. The lid fits snugly to lock in moisture and flavors. Large handles make it easy to transfer dinner from the stovetop or oven to the table. Cast iron provides even heating and excellent heat retention. The enamel finish means you don't have to pre-season your cookware.
