Since I bought this dutch oven I've used it on the stove, in the oven, and on the grill. It is the most versatile dutch oven I've owned. Plus clean up is a breeze,
I would recommend this to a friend!

Big Disappointment

I bought this dutch oven about 2 years ago. It has never been in the dishwasher, never had metal utensils, never been cleaned with an abrasive cleaner. The surface is coming off of the bottom of the pot. It is so bad that we can't use the pot anymore. For an item, this expensive, I expected better longevity. I will not purchase Calphalon non stick products again.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

When I purchased this I was truly not sure how big 8.5 qts was now I know. I will love this as I can now roast a very small turkey or large chicken in this Dutch Oven. I have not used it as of this writing, however I have used Calphalon products and have found them to be just what they say. I look forward to useing this for stews, soups and roasting. I am even thinking about ordering the smaller Dutch Oven for my smaller needs. Thank you for this size Calphalon. Debbie D. Hanford, Ca

was skeptical at first. the pan being so light compared to my lodge cast iron oven. But used it twice allready and it cooked as good as my lodge.So far I am satisfied with it.

I love the Dutch Oven because I can use it to cook a complete meal in just one pot. Cooking times can be adjusted to fit a family schedule by raising or lowering the oven temperature, and the cover keeps everything nice and moist.

This was my go-to pot! Wonderful size, cleans up easily. Unfortunately my family used the wrong utensils in it and the non-stick got scratches in it. Someday I will buy this pot again!

I have had the 8.5 qt. Dutch Oven for at least a year. I use it for everything, soups, sauces and roast. From the burner to the oven just a wonderful piece of cookware. I always tell my friends, even though I have a huge pot rack loaded with Calphalon, if I had to choose only one item, this would be it!!!
I would recommend this to a friend!
