4 Quart Non-Stick Cast Aluminum Dutch Oven Casserole Stockpot 11", Blue

Great product. You aren’t going to find a 7qt enameled Dutch Oven for anywhere near this price anywhere and in my opinion it’s just as good as the Lodge Enameled Dutch Oven for a fraction of the cost. Particularly nice is that it has a metal knob on the lid so it can go right into the oven. (Granted most do, but for some reason there are a few that have plastic knobs... not sure why anyone would want that.)

I got this product because I was looking to add some color to my kitchen! As someone who cooks a lot, being non-stick and easy to clean were also pretty important. This pot seemed to have both and fit my budget. It is sturdy and has a great, well-seasoned interior. Since I just got it, I can't speak to its longevity or how well the interior holds up after dishwashing, but I'll update this soon. So far, this seems to be a more budget-friendly option to some other vibrant, colored dutch oven brands.

I have owned several Dutch ovens and similar style pans and I think this one is the best and most functional. It has become a workhorse in my kitchen. I love that I can easily get a nice brown crust on foods/meats and then braise in the same pan. You just can’t get the temperature above 450F, otherwise the pan starts to smell.

Nice size, even heat and much lighter than cast iron, a big plus for me; I dislike heavy pots. It also is really “non-stick,” which is great, and clean-up is a breeze. So why complain? Those darn handles get red hot fast and stick out...good for grabbing with mitts, but can easily burn your arm. Just a word of caution if you tend to grab before you think as I so often do.

I was so excited to receive this MasterPan 4 Quart Non-Stick Cast Aluminum Dutch Oven Casserole Stockpot 11". The very first time I used this to make a family favorite bean soup - please note that ONLY a silicon "spoonula" was ever used inside this pot. Although I didn't notice it until I dished up a bowl of the soup, black flakes were floating in it. I put the soup with the flakes into another container and saw shiny metal spots throughout the pot where the coating had flaked off the sides, bottom and even the lid of the pot. I was so angry that I had spent so much money on a defective product that I couldn't respond with anything polite or socially acceptable to say. I started to take pictures but was so angry I stopped and simply threw the MasterPan 4 Quart Non-Stick Cast Aluminum Dutch Oven Casserole Stockpott into the trash. Caveat emptor -> "Let the buyer beware"!!!

This is so light and easy to carry from stove to table. The color is lovely. I have been using it for a couple weeks now, heat is distributed evenly, very easy to clean. I hope they expand their products!!

Although very lightweight (I'm used to using heavy cast iron) this is a substantial and versatile pan. Its enamel coating is thin but able to withstand daily use without a knick or chip. I like the design and color so much that it never leaves my stovetop.

Color full pot but it is too large and any burn foods do stick to pot. Quality of this pot is not good.
