BK Enameled Steel Dutch Oven

Was looking to replace a decade-old no name cast iron Dutch oven and also find something that wouldn’t be so heavy on a glass top stove. I love this oven and the whole chicken we made during its first use came out great. Also cleaned up very well, and the color is so beautiful.

I purchased this Dutch oven "blind", i.e. never having examined or used one before. We have several cast iron enameled pots and Dutch ovens and love them, except for the weight. So I was pleased when this enameled steel 5.5 quart pot was noticeably lighter than my enameled iron Le Creuset 4.5 quart pot. I washed the product right away, and then we put it to use twice in the same day. The first time it was totally on top of the stove for making some applesauce, the second time on the stove top and then in the oven for a braised beef chuck roast. Works like a champ. The domed lid is a plus in that it allows for a bit more clearance. We also like the flat bottom with the curved sides. The flat bottom works well on our flat-top electric stove top, and the curved sides make for easier stirring, deglazing, and clean-up. The handles are nice and easy to grip, even with towels or oven mitts. The black exterior is handsome. Having that blue (Lapis, French?) interior seems a little odd, but is far from a deal breaker. All in all, I am extremely pleased with this pot, and intend to purchase other sizes as older pots are retired. Steve from Cottage Grove, MN.

This is made in Germany very good quality product, as I expect it. Much heavier, than other enameled steel pots and looks good.
