vancasso Casserole Dish, 2 Liters Blue Enamelled Cast Iron Dutch Oven with Double Loop Handle, Naturally Non-Stick Cast Iron Casserole Pot for Home Baking, Braiser, Cooking - 20cm

I have used cast iron pots for many years. Got this pot as a replacement for one which I have had and used very regularly for some considerable time - yes you may pay a little more to get these pots but for the length of time and usage you get from them it is well worth the little extra you pay for them. The size of this pot is perfect for cooking for two. It can be used either on the hob to complete the cooking or once the pot and it’s contents reaches it’s cooking temperature put in the oven on a low heat setting to complete the cooking (the pot will hold it’s temperature exceptionally well once heated through so consequently cooking temperatures can be greatly reduced to complete the cooking thus saving energy costs). Soups, stews, paste sauce’s, Bolognaise etc all turn out tasty and extremely tender. Have only had this pot for a week but have already used it several times and it seems very robust and extremely easy to clean it also looks attractive. I feel I will get many years service out of this pot. Yes they are a little heavier than a steel pot but still very manageable. Cooking with a cast iron pot really does make a difference to your cooking ‘yummyness’ and I highly recommend this pot.

Unquestionable quality, very well made and the color is wonderful. I had to make another purchase because I didn't pay attention to the size, and this 37 cm one is really big.

Brilliant pan unfortunately a little heavy

Lovely pot

Main reason for buying this cast iron casserole was the size. My oval proofing baskets for bread are 31 cm internal length and obvs the bread expands during the bake. This one is a perfect size and allows to bake all shapes and sizes of bread. It holds the heat very well. Very pretty product overall. Disadvantage is the lid doesn’t seem to fit perfectly but it doesn’t affect the bakes. My partner found it a bit heavy but I guess it’s normal with 8 L casserole.

Love it, great value for money. Used it several times as Dutch oven and bread came out perfectly. Size perfect for 500g loaf (or smaller). No issue with rusting, just need to make sure it’s properly dried after washing up. Would recommend!

Like this pot it is an ideal size for 2 of us and is a nice colour, easy to clean should last a few years.

Very durable. Solid pot. A bit heavy but it cooks well. Will highly recommend.
