At first I was concerned about the weight of the cast iron and how fast it would heat up. Since I have used it, and am now cooking a hearty soup in it, I have nothing but good to say about it. No, I have not done any "oven" cooking with it. At five quarts, I find the size adequate to cook a roast, or produce enough soup for a week. I like the way the roof is rounded upwards. Yes, it does still steam, since it's not a pressure cooker. I am quickly becoming accustomed to the weight and does have two handles for the lid, and two for the pot. Nothing to complain about at this point. I knew nothing about Dutch ovens and cast iron cookery, and this comes "pre-seasoned", so that particular concern is taken care of...

Fantastic cast iron skillet that I purchased. I haven't used it yet but it is beautiful & is very nice kitchen appliance that I purchased. I can't wait till it gets a little bit cooler then I can use it to make different things that I haven't been able to on top of the stove. It is very pretty also

We use this item as a burn pot in a waste oil furnace. The first one lasted 4 - 5 years at normal operating temperatures of 350 - 400 degrees 8 hours a day, 5 days a week before the bottom finally cracked. This item should last more than a lifetime under normal use. Great quality product!
