Requires a lot of effort to ready it
I have not used this pot yet, but it will take more effort to get to that point. First, I had to buy scrubber pads and prevail upon my husband to scrub the wax out of it. Then I asked him to cut the little handle off of it. He had already observed that the handle was more of a hindrance than a help so he came back from the garage with a tool and took care of that. Next I started in on the last steps. I had bought the shortening so I had to wait for an unseasonably cool today. Today is that day so I coated the pan and lid, inside and out, with shortening and put it in the oven at 350 for an hour--I put both in a foil pan while they "cooked." After cleaning off the excess, I reapplied the shortening and put the pan and lid back for another hour of "cooking." Since this process has to be done three times, I hope to be able to finish up today and try out the pan. I'm sure it will cook food fine, but I doubt if I will enjoy touching its exterior--it's probably going to feel sticky, I am happy to have been able to find one this size so if you want a small pan, you will know what you have to go through before you use. Don't try to skip the seasoning--I had a misadventure with the Girl Scouts (poorly seasoned pan put away by kids in my garage with baked beans still in it) and I never got all the food out of the pan.

dutch oven
love, love, love, this dutch oven, I have used it for everything from frying chicken and veggies, to cooking fresh peas in it, and it is great, one of the best multi-purpose pots I have ever had. Would recommend this to anyone who loves to cook.

A little pot.
Item first shipped had a flaw that made it unusable, vendor replaced it. Replacement item required a little grinding inside to smoothe it but is servicable. High marks to the vendor.
