Heavy Gauge Caldero Dutch Oven with Aluminum Lid, 4.8 quart, Silver

The Guage is pretty good. But mine came with some scratches, I suspect it didn't make it to 1st quality. The dings don't affect its performance. All in all it's decent for the money.

This pot is great for browning meat, cook rice and vegetables.It’s a typical islander cookware. Perfect size for my small family. Hold heat very well and easy to clean.

Ordered this a few weeks ago, after fatally burning my original dutch pot that I owned for years. I was so hurtPondered for days before making this purchase. Unsure of what size that was comparable to my destroyed one. Decided on the 3.7 qt. I will say...It is not what I would consider "heavy gauge" aluminum. Even still, it is a nice pot First time making my signature rice and peas dish, included a pic. I am very pleased, came out beautifully. Perfectly steamed, not one grain of rice was uncooked or stuck to the bottom.The only down side are the handles. They get extremely HOT even at lowest burner setting. You will need pot handle covers to deal with this baby. I did order some. Perhaps the maker of these lovely pots would consider including a complimentary pair of handle covers with each purchase.🙂But, overall, I love my new dutchie. I would purchase again and would recommend to others

Just remember to season with a little bit of oil 30 minutes at 300° in the oven. it is easy to clean do not use these pans on high heat. Learn how to use it and you will love it. No need to put in dishwasher you'll ruin it.... just wipe it clean. you don't need to use soap every time when you do use soap then reseason it. I use mine on my countertop oven and on the stove. I have stopped using coated long-handled saucepans as this is perfect. Learn to use it it only takes a little few times. I have made stuffing in it I have used it in the oven not at high temps but around 350. I have made rice pot after pot, braised meat. Again learn how to use it and you will love it and this one is better because it has metal lid handle. Use hot pads like in the old days no biggie. it is gorgeous! use wood or soft utensils no metal as most of us do these days. I am definitely into this type of pot and cast iron again. The cooking healthy getting rid of all these artificial coatings is better for us and our children. Give it a try use it as described and you will love 😊it

It’s a good priced pot and it cooks food well if you know how to use it. It came with scratches and a lid that doesn’t seal/close all the way allowing a bunch of steam to be lost.

It's perfect & so is the lid. I've been trying to replace my original pot to cook rice for a while. This will do perfectly. If only I can find a smaller one now, 'cause I'll order that too. lol

This has got to be the worst buy I have ever made on Amazon. Amazon should be ashamed of selling this product on Amazon. First off this product is no where near heavy gauge as stated . I read the reviews and still bought so it's on me . It came so scratched up and gouged it is unbelievable . After spending an hour buffing with a Dremel tool and Jewelers Rouge and 4 ought steel wool I have it where it looks like it has been used for a year or two . Don't get me wrong , it's an awesome pot . If you could buy it for maybe $12 . This pot is a 2nd or 3rd ! It is not what you should expect out of a new product . It is a usable pot , but cosmetically it sux . It looks like it has been in a train wreck . Nothing between the pot rim and the lid that is shipped upside down in the pot and wrapped with some clear plastic that allows the lid to slide around and scratch the top of the lid . Simple thin cardboard would stopped that . I will keep it and use it but I will never buy from these people again . If you want a pot that looks new do not buy this product . But the price is way to high for the cosmetic condition of this pot ! Remember you get what you pay for ! Just not in this case .

This is by far the best rice pot I’ve ever had. With my previous pots that were stainless or coated, every batch of rice would be hit or miss. But with this pot, every single time is on point. Anyone who is complaining about their rice burning just needs to learn how to cook rice better. Lol I have been using this consistently for about two months now and I’ve had nothing but great rice dishes come from it. I’ve also used it for frying and browning meat and it’s worked perfectly. Amazing. I’ll be buying more in the future and recommending this to everyone I know.
