About this item

  • Cast iron covered dutch oven in red with side handles and fitted lid; Oven safe up to 500 degrees F
  • Cast iron for even heat distribution and retention; enamel doesn't have non-stick function; hand wash only
  • Always use hot-pads, oven mitts, or potholders while moving or removing cast iron cookware on or from the stove or oven
  • Holds 4.3 quarts
  • You should never cook tomatoes and other acidic foods in cast iron.
  • If the seasoning is very good, you can prepare dishes with tomatoes and other acidic foods, but it's best to wait until your piece is well-seasoned.
  • Recipes including very acidic foods, like tomatoes and citrus juices, should not be cooked in seasoned cast iron until the cookware is highly seasoned.
  • The high acidity of these foods will strip the seasoning and result in discoloration and metallic-tasting food.

perfect for bread
I looked at what seemed like a million dutch ovens for baking bread before I finally picked this one. It's absolutely perfect. My breads are coming out exactly how I want them! Oh, and t's also good for other foods too. :) And it's so beautiful, I can leave it on the stovetop, which is good because it is HEAVY.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful and durable. So glad we didn't spend more.
Reviewed in the United States on February 17, 2024
I got this for my wife for Christmas. We've used it at least 25 times since then. It cooks perfectly with even heat, cleans up easily, and looks so nice that we just leave it out on our range. We couldn't be happier with it!!

Clean up is easy.. the enamel on the inside seems like a non-stick, it's so easy to deal with.

We've looked at other brands, even some of the high end stuff .. the store sample on many others had chipped exterior finish just from sitting on the shelf. This one from Amazon Basics has held up over 2 months of regular use.

We were skeptical, given the price .. it's like half of some of the others. But you'd never know it. We're so pleased.

5.0 out of 5 stars Impressed with results!
Reviewed in the United States on January 23, 2024
I bought this primarily for baking bread. It feels heavy, and the coating looks quite uniform. The result of my first bread in the Dutch oven was visually stunning. I definitely didn't use a good ratio of ingredients (the bread machine recipe is too dry for this method), and the inside is rather hideous, but it is still significantly better baked than my earlier loaves of bread using basic baking pans. Its smaller size is also great for cooking for one. Highly recommend.

4.0 out of 5 stars Nothing Exceptional but Gets the Job Done
Reviewed in the United States on July 2, 2018
I’ve owned this 4.5 Qt. Amazon Enameled Cast Iron Dutch Oven for almost two months and have used it three times to date. Upon arrival and at first glance, the gradient blue color is beautiful and super glossy; most importantly, the pot is heavy for its size - as it should be. It looks exactly like the product pictures, with a globular shape than square shape as others. Unfortunately, I also noticed that there was one pin hole and two tiny uneven protrusions on the enamel inside the pot.

I own three other enameled cast iron cookware from two other brands (photos attached for size comparison) and performance wise, this cast iron by Amazon performs equally to them. The pot isn’t exceptional or special but it gets the job done. Other than the pin holes and protrusions, I have no complaints. This isn’t my first rodeo so when heating up the pot and while cooking, I have zero issues.

I am starting the pan off at 4-Stars and will update my review as time progresses, or if I have any major issues with its durability or performance in subsequent months. For the amateur home cook, or for anyone who is new to cast iron cooking, below I’ve included tips that you may find useful while using this or any other enameled cast iron cookware.

================================
Regarding the 3 Photos and 1 video I've Attached:
(Note: all photos were taken with an iPhone under kitchen lights during the evening. Photos have not been edited nor enhanced.)

Photo 1: Size comparison of this Amazon Enameled Cast Iron Dutch Oven compared to three other enameled cast iron cookware that I own from two other brands. From left to right: 7 qt. Tramontina, 4.5 qt. Amazon, 3 qt. Lodge 4 qt. Tramontina.

Photos 2 and 3: fresh produce shown next to 4.5qt Amazon Dutch Oven for color and size contrast.

Video: 4.5 qt. Amazon Enameled Cast Iron Dutch Oven on gas stove over medium heat, with food cooking.

================================

TIPS THAT YOU MAY FIND USEFUL While Using your cast iron dutch oven:
(Note: I included these similar tips in my review of a different enameled cast iron pot from a different brand. My tips can apply to all enameled cast iron cookware)

1. If you find that you have issues with food sticking, it could be that you are not heating up your cast iron pot properly to prevent undue hot spots.

I heat my pot up gradually starting at low, then medium, then high heat. After my pot is very hot is when I add my fat/cooking oil. As the oil is heating up in the pot, I lift it and swirl the oil around to coat all sides of the pot that will come in contact with food.

2. Take into consideration the temperature of the items you are adding to your heated pot. As a general rule for cooking: when ever possible, ensure that the items you are adding to a hot pot are at room temperature, rather than ice cold from the fridge; this will assist with even cooking.

3. Also, get comfortable with adjusting your heat by lowering and raising it based on what you’ve added to the pot. In general, you will need more heat at the beginning of the cooking process, and less heat towards the end. If you cook by recipe, I highly recommend that you read all the steps ahead before starting, so that you become familiarized with all the procedures, allowing you to maneuver accordingly when you start cooking.

4. At the exception of searing meat to achieve a brown crust, deep frying, or when caramelizing onions, you should be stirring your pot (I recommend using a wooden spoon) every few minutes when cooking in cast iron that is placed over high heat. If you are braising on the stove at low heat versus braising in the oven, the frequency of your stirring will need to be adjusted. No matter how you’re cooking though, a watchful eye on the pot plus stirring, should both be a habit not an afterthought.

5. For all cooking vessels in general but especially for cast iron: after cooking, allow your pot to cool down completely before cleaning. NEVER immerse a hot cast iron pot into cold water, nor pour cold dish water into hot pot. You risk not only being scald by dangerous steam, but you also risk weakening the enamel, therefore lessening the durability of your pots over time.

6. This cookware and others like it from Tramontina and Lodge are economical and if used correctly, will perform well for most cooking; if used correctly, they should also last for years. Nonetheless, if you can afford it, authentic enameled cast iron cookware made in France by Le Creuset is the best way to go. Le Creuset is the gold standard in cast iron cookware and their quality is second to none. I definitely recommend this Amazon dutch oven but if you can afford to splurge, Le Creuset's reputation is stellar. As a professional chef, I've used them in high end kitchens and their quality and performance is premier.
