Cuisinart 3 Qt. Round Covered Casserole-Cardinal Red

Cuisinart is similar in performance to my La Creuset but at a much lower cost. I have 4 various enameled Dutch ovens and they all perform well. Any of them can chip if you aren't careful. My black lid knob melted in the oven and Cuisinart just sent me an entire new 3 quart pot. Amazing service! Very impressive.

This is generally a very good purchase for a very good enameled Dutch oven. There is one non-issue to be aware of. The lip of the casserole dish and the underlying portion of the lid that touches are both seemingly not enameled. On mine I placed a bit of oil and baked it in “seasoned”. It doesn’t rust so I suspect it is either already seasoned or isn’t the raw cast iron it seemed to be. But in any case it doesn’t seem to be an issue. Other than that I have done a pot roast with excellent results and baked bread in it also with excellent results. Is you are looking for a three quart enameled cast iron casserole dish this unit fits the bill.
