Excellent cook pot
A very good buy; cost effective. Giving 4 points because the handle gets hot and so one has to look for other means to move it after cooking.
This is a product given free with the set
I was not happy to see a sticker on the box saying that this was a free gift from the company when you bought a set. Who knows if this is the same quality as the actual product or the set.
Love these pans
This is the second Circulon 5 1/2 quart dutch oven that I've purchased. I only sold the first one because it was cheaper to buy a new one than ship the old one from the South Pacific back to the US. This pan is so versatile--brown meat on stove top, add ingredients and bake in the oven. Only one dirty pan and then it's so easy to clean up after the meal. I've got 15 other Circulon pots and pans and I love them all.
My first dutch oven - works well, but has chipped; wrong picture in product description!
I bought this on 2/17/2007 for $20 and it actually has a domed stainless steel lid and right-angled metal handles, not the glass lid or angled handles as shown in the current picture. So far, I've used it to roast pork and chicken and both times, the dishes turned out well. I've not used it very often since I bought it, but now it has a 2mm round chip on the inside near a handle - you can actually see the inner layer.

I've boiled water in it (Cincinnati has bad-tasting water and boiling and filtering seems to work) as far as I can remember, I've only used it in the oven twice, and to cook something soupy ...

Very nice Dutch oven
In case you've tried to replace your Dutch oven for your set, you'll know that they're horrifically hard to find by themselves (not in a set) and if you do, they cost about 8 million. This pan was around thirty dollars online at boscovs and is well worth the price. My Tfal Dutch oven finally died after 13.5 years of constant use, loved, loved, loved that pan and I'm horrifically disappointed it's gone. When the teflon starts to peel however, well, it's the old trashcan for sure! I found this one online in my numerous hours of searching and was almost going to buy another set of Tfal before I found this pan. It's been great - lightweight, very easy to clean, and has done a wonderful job on everything I've put in it. I couldn't be happier, except ... Read More
