This is a 7-quart oval Dutch oven in enameled cast iron, sold under the Crock-Pot name. The oval shape fits whole chickens and long cuts of meat that round pots crowd. Enameled cast iron holds heat well and moves from stovetop to oven, and the self-basting lid recirculates moisture. It is a large, heavy pot for family-sized braises, stews and roasts. Against Le Creuset and Staub it gives up some enamel durability and lid fit, but it covers the same cooking jobs for far less. Owners rate it well overall, with the usual cast-iron complaints about weight and careful cleaning.

This Crock-Pot Dutch oven is an oval, 7-quart pot made of cast iron with an enamel surface. The enamel is non-stick. It is safe up to 500 degrees, so it can be used for baking or broiling in a conventional oven. The cast iron distributes and retains heat evenly.
The cast-iron lid is self-basting and creates a continuous basting environment. It has a large handle for a good grip. The pot is rust-free and easy to clean.
The pot's heat retention supports sauteing, frying, searing, braising, stewing, roasting, broiling and baking. It works on gas, electric, ceramic and induction cooktops.
