This is a 7-quart round enameled cast iron Dutch oven from Crock-Pot, built for oven braises, stews, roasts and stovetop searing. It is oven-safe to 450°F and works on gas, electric, ceramic and induction cooktops, so it covers most kitchens without a second pot. The self-basting lid and wide 7-quart capacity put it against Le Creuset and Staub at a fraction of their cost, though enameled cast iron at this size is heavy to lift. Owners rate it highly, and the main trade-offs are weight and the care enamel demands.

Owners rate it 4.9 out of 5 and praise its even heat, the self-basting lid and how much it holds. Complaints center on weight and the care the enamel needs.
This 7-quart round Dutch oven is made of cast iron with a non-stick enamel surface. The cast iron holds heat and distributes it evenly. It is rust-free and easy to clean.
The cast-iron lid is self-basting, which creates a continuous basting environment inside the pot. A large handle on the lid gives a good grip.
It can be used for sauteing, frying, searing, braising, stewing, roasting, broiling and baking. It works on gas, electric, ceramic and induction cooktops. It can also go in a conventional oven for baking or broiling.
