Great pot, hard to clean first timeJan 13, 2007
By Frank Yee
This is great heavy duty pot for a very low price. I've used it so far to cook a pineapple upside down cake on coals and stew. It worked very well, even without the usual camping legs. This made in China pot has many minor pits and defects in the cooking surface but cooks well after two rounds of seasoning.
Here are a few minor issues I had with the pot that caused me to give it 4 stars. The lid has a loop handle that is really set up for a lid lifter. Removing the lid with a pot holder is risky, since the lid is so very heavy. The pot comes coated with wax to prevent rusting in shipment. It is very hard to fully get the wax off, requiring several cycles of heating and soapy rinse. The thin wire handles are the only secure way to lift the pot when full but its awkward and painful.
The pot is great but the difficulty of the first cleaning has me looking at preseasoned pot for the future.

 Superb Dutch Oven, great price!Jan 23, 2007
By Peter A. Lamb
This is a wonderful dutch oven...I hemed and hawed between the more pricey Lodge Logic (which my other cast iron pans are) and this Bayou Classis...Thrift won out, and I bought this one. I am not disappointed in any way. It was easy to season, and makes an unbeatable pot roast!

Spectacular (& really a 10 Star item)!!Feb 08, 2006
By cookin' dude
Spectacular is really an understatement to the point of inaccuracy! I seasoned this beautiful item as recommended and then put it to work, starting with a pork roast and then a beef chuck roast. I like to slow roast and the meat turned out tender, moist, flavorful and overall fantastic. I look forward to other dishes just as great. Since it does not have legs, it works equally well in the oven as well as outdoors. Did I say spectacular? Oh yeah, I did!!

 Difficult to cleanNov 01, 2008
By J. Pellicano
I have to agree with Frank Yee. Extremely difficult to clean. It is coated with wax and I spent 30 minutes scrubbing it with a green "scratchy" pad and dish detergent and still could not get all the wax off - it sticks in all of the pores of the metal. So I put it in the oven at 300 degrees and 1 hour later it still smoking. My kids are complaining about the stinky fog in the house and have gone to the basement to escape. If I knew what I now know I would have purchased an American made product and paid a little extra.

I love the alligator on the lidMar 21, 2007
By Donald Campbell
Pre-seasoned would be easier but twice the price too. To avoid a smoke filled house you can season on the grill but make sure you can control the temp, too much heat and you cook all the seasoning off. As far as performance it does everything a big heavy pot is supposed to do. The basket is funtional for deep frying but not steaming. Nice piece of cookware.
