Customer Reviews

Great Roasting Pot, too!
This pot is great for stews, braising and for no-knead bread, but it's also great for roasting dishes, too. A 10.25 inch round cake rack works as a roasting rack and fits inside to keep your chicken from sitting in it's own grease. The basting tips in the lid keep the juices in. You'll love this pot...it's so stylish and easy to clean. I use the Mario Batali 4 quart just as often. Yes, I also have many LeCreuset pieces, but I think the MB pieces were well designed not to compete too much with LeCreuset.

Love it!
This is a great item and I use it all the time! The heavy bottom allows you to simmer without scorching the food. It also transfers from stovetop to oven easily.

Mario Batali Dutch Oven
Mario Batali 6-Quart Italian Enamel on Cast Iron Essentials Pot, Persimmon]]. When I received this dutch oven I understood it was refurbished. When I received this item it was without any blemishes. I have used it twice. The enamel is coming off inside the pot. Four or five places in the pot and two in the lid. I will not order anymore refurbished products.
