Merten & Storck 7QT Round Dutch Oven Casserole Pot with Lid, European Crafted Enameled Iron Stockpot, Induction & All Cooktops, Braising, Stews, Roasting, Slow Cooking, Sourdough, Foundry Red

I can’t believe I waited so long to buy this Round Dutch oven. At 7 quarts it is versatile for baking bread, & roasting vegetables & meats. Its interior enamel surface is easily cleaned, & it’s a great size for a family serving. It is light weight and conducts heat very well. Aesthetically it is a beautiful neutral color and finish. I Have used it for a month w/o any chipping nor cracks. It is well-made & a great value for the money.

A little over one year ago I paid $129.00 for this dutch oven. At the current price of $59.00, it is a steal of a deal! I had to go back to my old invoice to make sure it was true. I was looking for a larger cast iron dutch oven when I came across this one. I have back problems a had to get help taking my smaller 5.5 qt cast iron pot in and out of oven and was worried that a bigger, heavier one would be worse. The recipe I have calls to flip roast every 30 minutes, so that's lots of lifting. This dutch oven has solved the weight issue for me and it still makes a great pot roast. Yes, it is not as tough as cast iron so watch your stove top heat when browning meat. Clean- up is easy and saves on my back here too. I have used it at least 10 times so far and it still looks great, no chips. Bottom can slide on coil burners so care must be taken here when flipping heavy roasts. Would not go back to cast iron even though it's my favorite cookware, it's just too heavy for me now. This lighter dutch oven does the job for me.

Great weight. Food cooks great in it. Price was great when I bought it $49.99 but price has exploded to $174.99. Crazy!!

This Dutch oven is amazing! I gave my cast iron Dutch ovens away because as I’m older now (66) they were just too heavy for me putting them in the oven. This one is sooo much lighter even though it’s even bigger than both my old ones. This one is a 7 1/2 qt. my old ones were 7 qt. and 5 qt. So far I’ve made a pot roast dinner and beef stew and both dinners turned out great! It cleans up easily as well. If you like cast iron you’ll love this one because it’s much lighter but performs equally as well!

Very nice. Sturdy and beautiful like the picture. It is lighter in weight than a traditional Dutch oven. I’ve only used it twice so far. Easy to clean. Note that instructions say to not use metal utensils or you will damage the finish. So yeah chip resistant if you stick to wood and nylon type utensils.

Why pay double or even triple the price for these Le Creuset pots??.. and save your back from their weight! So far, have used ours for slow and low cooking in the oven and the quality of the internal enamel coating makes clean-up a breeze. There's still weight to them and not being cast iron will cool when you want the pot to cool, not retaining the heat which can be become troublesome.. Overall, very happy and saved nearly half a mortgage payment! You won't be disappointed.

This is a beautiful cooking vessel! It cooks evenly with wonderful results. The pot is much easier to handle when full do to the weight of pot compared to traditional Dutch ovens. Had to give my very expensive name brand Dutch oven to daughter as could not deal with weight. Cleanup is a breeze with a good soak. Love to cook and love, love this Dutch oven!! Gave one to oldest son for wedding gift!

I am completely happy with this. I have no idea why I got it at under fifty dollars, but it’s an amazing deal. The pot is thicker at the bottom than the walls, which I think accounts for its much lighter than cast iron weight. It’s still substantial and solid even so. This is well made and I’m expecting with gentle use and care long lasting and durable.

Well made. After 6 months the ceramic finish is still holding up. Really appreciate the light weight when handling with oven mitts. Can't tell any difference in cooking as compared to heavy cast iron pots.
