COOKER KING 4.0 Quart Enameled Cast Iron Dutch Oven - Black Porcelain Coated Casserole Pot with Lid for Stovetop, Oven & Camping | Perfect for Braising, Baking, Soups & Stews (Pink)

Nice heavy pot. You can't beat cast iron for durability. They're virtually indestructible. Even though this pot is intended for braising/slow cooking, I used it to saute in at higher temperatures and it didn't even think about warping. The knob and handles get hot so be sure to use a pot holder when removing or replacing the lid or picking up the pot by the handles. I'm not sure about the knob on the lid, but I'm pretty sure it's not plastic so it can go into oven with the lid on. Perfect size for small casseroles, slow cooking beans or one-pot dishes, braising meat, stews, soups, chili. I love this size for just me to have enough for leftovers or for just a few of people. For me it is just the perfect size (5 quarts, I believe). Fairly easy to clean despite the semi-pitted, not-so-slick surface. I personally would have preferred a slick surface inside the pot, but you can't beat the durability for the money! The color of this pot is NOT cobalt blue as pictured. It is actually a more beautiful ocean blue! Knob is silver colored.No instructions on seasoning so asked the question here. The answer was to put it in the oven for 30 minutes after lightly oiling. No time was given, but the product description says it can stand up to 475 degrees in the oven.The first photos are what it looked like after seasoning it at 400 degrees for a little more than 1/2 an hour. The next photo shows how most of the burn marks came off after scrubbing.The photo doesn't show a few hard to reach areas which didn't come clean along with a slight discoloration on the lid.Since the inside looks in tact and the outside mostly cleaned up, I think this may hold up to heat without too much cosmetic and I'm hoping no structural damage.Haven't cooked with it yet so only the non committal three stars until I do.It seems sound though and I can't wait to cook with it and post an update.We are very pleased with our new Dutch Oven. It is quality construction and a beautiful color - red.Delivery was overnight and we love the Mandarin instructions. ?Love ! love! this pot! Why didn’t I do this before now is the question.
