Artisan 5-Quart Round Enameled Cast Iron Dutch Oven – Lavender Purple, Durable Heavy-Duty Cookware for Slow Cooking, Roasting, Baking with Lid

Love this croc! I use it to make sourdough. It’s perfect! I just remove the lid for the last few minutes and it’s perfectly golden. The best loafs I have made were in this crockpot. I won’t go back to using a traditional bread pan. The bread doesn’t stick to the sides- I just spay a little olive oil and don’t have any issues getting the bread out and it’s easy to clean. The best part is I can keep this on my counter to store the bread after I make it. 10/10 recommend!

Bought as a gift for Christmas and it is a dream. (Bought as a gift but I've been using it). Doesn't get dirty easily, stands up to the burners really well. It's nice and big, definitely cooks for many people. The color is great, and it looks just like it did on the listing. The lids design allows for accumulated steam to be spread out around the pot, which if you're looking into getting a Dutch oven, is really important. Overall, it has been a great purchase, would definitely recommend!

I bought this to make artisan's bread in. You have to heat the dutch oven up to 450 degrees for 20 min then you cook in it for another 45 min. I have made at least 40 loafs of bread in this and it still looks as good as it did the day I bought it. The enamel has not split on lid or at side of pan and I have bought a couple that have. This makes the perfect size of bread. And it would make a large pot roast, soup or stew, use it in over or on top of stove. without breaking the bank. This pan its my go to every time I make bread and I have several dutch ovens. I always use parchment paper but you will still always get oil spots and they clean up easy without having to scrub, just use a little soap and water after use.

I 100% bought this for the color. I recently started my sourdough journey and knew I should get a dutch oven. I didn't want to invest hundreds in what might be a passing hobby and I thought I'd have to settle for a color I don't care about. I was so happy to not only find a perfect purple, but to find one in a trustworthy brand name. I'm loving this dutch oven. My bread comes out amazing every time. It cleans super easily, so any of that bread residue comes right off. My bread bakes thoroughly and evenly. I have had no issues with the enamel, it's beautiful and in pristine condition after about two months of use so far. It's so silly to say seeing this in my kitchen fills me with joy but it genuinely does. I love leaving this set on top of the stove because it's beautiful and makes me happy. Will absolutely buy more if I start baking multiple loaves a day.

It's perfect size and great quality

I purchased this gorgeous Dutch oven when I was adding some new appliances and things to my kitchen after a move, and this was exactly what I was looking for, with a much lower price tag than the "famous" brand. It has the lovely red/orange color scheme that I adore and it had great reviews. It was super affordable, so I ordered one. For the longest time I didn't use it for much; it was more "That so pretty! I'll figure out what to do with it later". Well, after a mishap that ended with my stock pot burning all the Teflon off, my only option now was to use my beautiful Dutch oven. It is truly a wonderful design. I can cook on the stove with it, I can bake with it, and every time I go to clean it I imagine all the stuck on splatters that I can see are going to take hours to scrub off. And this is where the magic happens! Nothing sticks to it. Not on the outside, not on the inside. It looks as new as the day I got it and cleanup is ridiculously easy. How have I spent my life without this pot? I need to go find it in every size, because not only is it stunning to look at, it is a masterpiece of craftsmanship. I can't rate this any higher. You should absolutely get this Dutch oven.

Nice, but very heavy without anything in it!

I LOVE this crock pot. I bake a lot of sourdough in this and it works great! also very easy to use and clean!

Nice, solid, great

It’s very heavy excellent quality and beautiful color. Made quite a few dishes in it and it’s big enough to accommodate food quantity for around 10 to 11 people Very easy to clean.

Exorbitantly priced. Average product. My piece intact was defective. The lid was chipped

Great looking and great working, but make sure you are strong enough to use it. Very well made and can tell when you try to lift it like other pots.

This is third time I have bought the product from crackpot first one was 3 quart which was sufficient. But I wanted a slightly bigger one, so I bought this one and I also bought a 5 quart braiser from them.
