Amazon.com Review
Simmer up a spicy black bean soup or a gourmet risotto in this Circulon 5-1/2-quart covered Dutch oven crafted in durable hard-anodized aluminum with a fully-encapsulated stainless-steel base for premium heat convection and thorough insulation. The hi-low wave technology distributes even heat, while nonstick coating on the Dutch oven's exterior and interior ensures hassle-free cooking and cleaning. The chef transports the Dutch oven by two cast stainless-steel loop handles, riveted securely to its sides. Another loop handle sits atop the lid. Unlike other hard-anodized cookware, the unique nonstick exterior renders the Dutch oven dishwasher- safe. For baking applications, the Dutch oven fares well in ovens up to 500 degrees F. A limited lifetime warranty covers this item. The Dutch oven measures 12 by 11-2/3 by 6-1/10 inches and weighs 4 pounds upon shipping. --Jessica Reuling

Customer Reviews

Excellent Cookware!
Circulon cookware is excellent. It heats quickly and evenly, cleans up easily, and seems to last forever. The key is not to overheat it (never over medium high) and to always hand wash. I cook a lot and am currently writing a cookbook, so I know what I like and what works for me. Circulon works great! This pot is also a wonderful size - not to large, not too small- a great starter piece if you want to try Circulon without making a big investment.

Excellent Cookware at Reasonable Prices
While I've never been a wiz in the kitchen, I finally decided that it was time to replace some of my old cookware. The prices of some of the higher end cookware astounded me and I didn't feel that my cooking was worth the price. The Circulon cookware fits my budget, cooks evenly and cleanly, and I am truly amazed that I can tell the difference in the dishes I'm preparing when I use this cookware. I am extremely happy with all the pieces I have purchased to date.

Fantastic
I bought this as a gift and my friend has been raving about it from the first time she used the pot, which was the day she received it and almost everyday since.

She has some physical problems and said that the pot's handles were easy to hold and well designed for lifting and moving the pot especially when it was full. I was told it cooked evenly and was easy to clean.

I am jealous and wish I did not already have a dutch oven or else I would buy one for myself.
