Paula Deen 3.5 Quart Cast Iron Covered Round Casserole



Great Product
Beautiful. Well made. I seansoned first thing, then used to sear beef cubes for stew. No sticking. Clean up was a breeze. No rust with continual use. Glad I made this purchase.

I also use this for no-knead bread
It's awesome for my loaves of no-knead sourdough boules. I use a banneton for the dough rise and then flip the banneton of dough into this 450F preheated covered cast iron pot and cover it with its preheated lid. Bake for 25 minutes and take lid off then bake for 5 more minutes.

I haven't seen a prettier bread baking pot that's for sure.

Excellent bread baking device
This dutch oven bakes excellent 'NO-Knead-Bread'! Easy to clean, decorative design, and great for chicken dishes, too.
Although I bought my first one locally, I need a second one for another loaf of bread to bake two at the same time.
Because it is pure cast iron, no enamel inside, one also gets some iron in the meal which is an additional pro.

Le Creuset Stoneware 10-1/2-Inch Oval Baking Dish, White



cracked immediately - update
I'm a longtime fan of Le Creuset enameled cast iron cookware, so I was excited to buy this first stoneware piece. While it's very attractive, the first time I cooked with it (in a 400 degree oven) it cracked in half. I've cooked with other types of stoneware at 400 degrees and higher for years with no problems, including stoneware at a lower price point, so this was a big surprise. But I read (now) in other reviews of Le Creuset stoneware that this is a somewhat common problem, and that the warranty requires shipping it back for inspection. To my mind this is more trouble than it's worth - I'm just sorry I trusted the brand name and didn't do my usual research before purchasing.

Update: as requested - here is a link that provides some other reviewes that cite the same cracking problem:...

Expensive but getting cracks right away.
I have this one in the blue color and used it about 3 times in the oven. The second time it got a hairline crack and now I baked fish in it at 350 and there is a blacker hairline crack. Of course I'm afraid it will crack in half the next time I use it.

I thought I was getting a better quality for the price since I was afraid of the Pyrex which had bad reviews. But I will not buy this brand again.

BEST STONEWARE
This the best stoneware you can use. No matter how messed up it gets in the baking process it cleans up like new!!! Have had at least 20 pieces at least 10 years and have never had a problem.

Rachael Ray Porcelain Enamel Nonstick 5.5-Quart Covered Round Casserole, Orange



Such a Dainty Pan
While I enjoy the color and shape of this pan, it's just too light and delicate to be a durable pan. If you're interested in this pan, I would recommend the hard anodized version over this. The porcelain enamel has a small chip in it after the 1st use, caused by the handle of another pan bumping into it on the stove. It's also terribly lightweight which isn't so bad, but I feel like I'm cooking with a toy pot, rather than a well made piece of equipment. A little disappointed but it is a nice looking pan on the stove.

My mom loves this item
I ordered this for my mom and had it shipped to her in a different state. She absolutely loves it, and has had it over a year. She loves the quality of the non-stick and the rubbery no-slip handles. She still raves about it after all this time.

Rachael Ray Porcelain Enamel Nonstick 5.5 Quart Covered Round Casserole Orange
I love this item, it is used every week in my kitchen. The only drawback is it shouldn't go in the dishwasher. But I love the color and function of this pot. I have other pans from Rachael Ray and love them all.
