This Artisan Round Dutch Oven (5 qt) is AMAZING. I use it for so many things in my kitchen from breads to bakes to roasts. It's a lifesaver. I swear everything that I make in my dutch oven just tastes better -- simple as that. Especially my bread. You know that flaky, soft bread you get from the bakery? That's what this gets you. All of my loaves prior would dry out and be hard on the outside. This traps the steam and makes the inside fluffy and keeps your crust from getting so hard. Definitely a must-have for every bread making family out there.

I love this pot. Pretty much everything I was previously making in a slow cooker I now make in this.

Paid $30 for this and I was so disappointed! The instructions are not clear first off. They say the pot is dishwasher safe etc and then says it's recommended hand wash only plus "don't let air dry" 🤔 so then it leaves you to think that you don't know what's best for this pot. Continue reading! It says NON STICK on the box on the paperwork etc... Cook in it and EVERYTHING STICKS! So you read into the directions more and it says "some foods may stick or become stained in the pot"! Well if it is going to be stained and stuck in my "non stick" in the pot who wants it? That's GROSS! And for $30 I think it could do way better. Be specific! Don't put something on the box to sell it then try to make it seem like you were pre warned in the directions as your using the pot! Never judge the packaging by it's lettering and wording apparently 👌 this is by far the worst thing I've seen so far!
