Cast Iron Dutch Oven with Lid – Non Stick Shallow Dutch Oven Pot, Oven Safe up to 500° F – Sturdy Cooking Pot – Enamelled Stockpot Cookware – Blue, 3.7-Quart, 30cm – by Nuovva

The media could not be loaded. The enamel inside the pan is chipped and cracked thus unsuitable for cooking. Plus extérieure of the pan the enamel is completely broken and chipped this will cause rust.

Beautiful blue color. Cooks on top of stove or oven. Handle does not get hot-Big Bonus. Used for soups, stews & roast. Perfection! So easy to clean. Highly recommended. Worth the price.

I bought this for my husband who is the cook in our house. Not only is this a gorgeous piece of cookware, it cleans up easily. (He cooks, I clean up!) It definitely is a heavy piece.

This pan is a beautiful shade of turquoise blue. I included a picture of it beside another Dutch oven pot that I got from Amazon of a darker blue. It is good quality, heavy and thick. It’s easy to clean, heats up fast and holds the heat in well. I was worried that it would be small but it’s not, the size is perfect. It measures 13 inches across (not including the handles). I just made a grilled cheese in it to try it out and it worked great! I’m excited to add it to my collection.

I have Prime. Ordered Saturday, arrived Sunday, delivered by Amazon. Faultless.Initial impressions were very good. I chose the dark blue 32 cm shallow casserole, and the blue enamelling is quite striking.Having eventually removed the casserole from the packaging - it is very well protected - I gave it a quick wash using a nylon scrubby then immediately set about putting my new cookware to work to make a Lancashire hotpot.I have owned Le Creuset ironware for well over forty years - from the time before it became so ridiculously over priced - and my new casserole more than holds its own when compared alongside in looks. The enamelling seems to be of an equivalent standard, the thickness and weight of the ironware seems to be entirely comparable. Considering the price differential between the two brands, these impressions lead to a very considerable weighting in favour of the Nuovva product. Very impressed.I was slightly surprised to read that the casserole did not need seasoning, but I took the manufacturer at their word. I can now confirm that seasoning is not necessary. Very impressed.Using the casserole on my induction hob, I browned the meat and vegetables in a little dripping, then combined all the ingredients, put the sliced potatoes on the top and transferred the whole thing directly to the top oven.A few hours later, I sat down to a very evenly cooked meal. The casserole kept the food warm long enough for me to return for a second helping of cholesterol laden comfort food. Very impressed.Washing up was very easy, again using a nylon scrubby, the casserole came up clean with very little effort. Very impressed.Two things of which a potential buyer should be aware:1. Size: This casserole has a large footprint, and the excellently designed handles make it quite a big piece of kitchen-ware. You will need a standard 60cm outside width oven to use this, anything smaller simply will not accommodate.2. Weight: This is a large piece of cast iron, and as such is fairly hefty in nature. For those people who have not used cast iron cookware before, this will mean that the weight may come as a bit of a surprise. I by no means share the physique of Arnold Schwarzenegger, but I managed to lift it, whilst containing around five or six pounds of food very easily, thanks to the well designed handles.In summary, this casserole is a large, heavy, piece of cast iron cookware, giving every impression of having been manufactured to a very high standard. The enamelling is beautifully executed and the design is very attractive. Food cooks evenly inside of it, and the washing up process is simple.Obviously, I have not been able to test longevity, but all the indications are that this item will continue to be used by whomever buys it from the house clearance sale long after I have croaked.Worth every penny. 100% recommendation.

One thing positive to say about the Dutch Oven is the rich colour. It's stunning, and the pot is heavy. Is it worth it?? No. A few side complaints about this product is the lid is not a snuggle fit, there is a wobble to it. Then I read the instruction booklet and that's when my smile disappeared. In Australia's cooking terms, it seems we cannot go past 200 Celsius. On your page it states 500 Fahrenheit (260 Celsius) well that's a lie to consumers to buy it! It brought it to bake sourdough bread and 200 Celsius is too low of a temp. It also states you can not heat it without nothing in it! Again, to all artisanal bread makers 'STAY AWAY FROM THIS BRAND. IT'S A WASTE OF MONEY' and the shipping price is crazy. You're better off buying yourself a ceramic baking dish.
