My Absolutely Favorite Kitchen Item
5 out of 5 stars
My Absolutely Favorite Kitchen Item
My absolute favorite kitchen item! It is the most useful and beautiful tool I have, rivaled only by my smaller Dutch ovens (which are less useful) and my food processor and pressure cooker (which are not beautiful). I hope I am buried with my Dutch oven, honestly. It can be used as a pot, bowl, oven, transporter, and decoration. After over two years with it, it is still in great shape with minor wear and tear on the inside. I wish it withstood hotter temps than 400F!

    This Amazon Basics enameled Dutch oven holds its own against the high-end brands. The one I got is this gorgeous deep purple with a gold knob, such a vibe on the stovetop, and the enamel interior is smooth, easy to clean, and heats evenly.

    I’ve used it to bake crusty sourdough loaves (as pictured), make stews, roast chicken, you name it. It holds heat really well, and the heavy lid traps steam like a champ, which is crucial for getting that perfect artisan bread crust.

    Is it a Le Creuset? No. But for the price? It’s honestly amazing. I’ve had zero issues with chipping, and it feels sturdy and well-made. If you’re looking for an affordable Dutch oven that actually performs, this is a total win.

    Highly recommend for home bakers, soup lovers, or anyone who wants a pop of color and functionality in their kitchen.

    I appreciate the affordable price of this item.
    I was surprised how heavy this item actually is.
    My purpose for this purchase was to use this as a soup pot. The results have been perfect. I started shopping for a soup pot after using an expensive pot my SIL brought over, filled with soup.
    I expected to pay $350-$450 for a pot like the one my SIL had. I was thrilled to find this one for $50 and it is Purple. I love purple! The food cooks evenly and quickly. The pot is easy to clean. The only downside is that it is heavy. Imagine being surprised that Cast Iron is heavy. This is a Fabulous Deal from Amazon Basics. I am very happy with this purchase.

    I’ve owned this 4.5 Qt. Amazon Enameled Cast Iron Dutch Oven for almost two months and have used it three times to date. Upon arrival and at first glance, the gradient blue color is beautiful and super glossy; most importantly, the pot is heavy for its size - as it should be. It looks exactly like the product pictures, with a globular shape than square shape as others. Unfortunately, I also noticed that there was one pin hole and two tiny uneven protrusions on the enamel inside the pot.

    I own three other enameled cast iron cookware from two other brands (photos attached for size comparison) and performance wise, this cast iron by Amazon performs equally to them. The pot isn’t exceptional or special but it gets the job done. Other than the pin holes and protrusions, I have no complaints. This isn’t my first rodeo so when heating up the pot and while cooking, I have zero issues.

    I am starting the pan off at 4-Stars and will update my review as time progresses, or if I have any major issues with its durability or performance in subsequent months. For the amateur home cook, or for anyone who is new to cast iron cooking, below I’ve included tips that you may find useful while using this or any other enameled cast iron cookware.

    ================================
    Regarding the 3 Photos and 1 video I've Attached:
    (Note: all photos were taken with an iPhone under kitchen lights during the evening. Photos have not been edited nor enhanced.)

    Photo 1: Size comparison of this Amazon Enameled Cast Iron Dutch Oven compared to three other enameled cast iron cookware that I own from two other brands. From left to right: 7 qt. Tramontina, 4.5 qt. Amazon, 3 qt. Lodge 4 qt. Tramontina.

    Photos 2 and 3: fresh produce shown next to 4.5qt Amazon Dutch Oven for color and size contrast.

    ================================

    TIPS THAT YOU MAY FIND USEFUL While Using your cast iron dutch oven:
    (Note: I included these similar tips in my review of a different enameled cast iron pot from a different brand. My tips can apply to all enameled cast iron cookware)

    1. If you find that you have issues with food sticking, it could be that you are not heating up your cast iron pot properly to prevent undue hot spots.

    I heat my pot up gradually starting at low, then medium, then high heat. After my pot is very hot is when I add my fat/cooking oil. As the oil is heating up in the pot, I lift it and swirl the oil around to coat all sides of the pot that will come in contact with food.

    2. Take into consideration the temperature of the items you are adding to your heated pot. As a general rule for cooking: when ever possible, ensure that the items you are adding to a hot pot are at room temperature, rather than ice cold from the fridge; this will assist with even cooking.

    3. Also, get comfortable with adjusting your heat by lowering and raising it based on what you’ve added to the pot. In general, you will need more heat at the beginning of the cooking process, and less heat towards the end. If you cook by recipe, I highly recommend that you read all the steps ahead before starting, so that you become familiarized with all the procedures, allowing you to maneuver accordingly when you start cooking.

    4. At the exception of searing meat to achieve a brown crust, deep frying, or when caramelizing onions, you should be stirring your pot (I recommend using a wooden spoon) every few minutes when cooking in cast iron that is placed over high heat. If you are braising on the stove at low heat versus braising in the oven, the frequency of your stirring will need to be adjusted. No matter how you’re cooking though, a watchful eye on the pot plus stirring, should both be a habit not an afterthought.

    5. For all cooking vessels in general but especially for cast iron: after cooking, allow your pot to cool down completely before cleaning. NEVER immerse a hot cast iron pot into cold water, nor pour cold dish water into hot pot. You risk not only being scald by dangerous steam, but you also risk weakening the enamel, therefore lessening the durability of your pots over time.

    6. This cookware and others like it from Tramontina and Lodge are economical and if used correctly, will perform well for most cooking; if used correctly, they should also last for years. Nonetheless, if you can afford it, authentic enameled cast iron cookware made in France by Le Creuset is the best way to go. Le Creuset is the gold standard in cast iron cookware and their quality is second to none. I definitely recommend this Amazon dutch oven but if you can afford to splurge, Le Creuset's reputation is stellar. As a professional chef, I've used them in high end kitchens and their quality and performance is premier.

In general, you will need more heat at the beginning of the cooking process, and less heat towards the end. If you cook by recipe, I highly recommend that you read all the steps ahead before starting, so that you become familiarized with all the procedures, allowing you to maneuver accordingly when you start cooking.

    4. At the exception of searing meat to achieve a brown crust, deep frying, or when caramelizing onions, you should be stirring your pot (I recommend using a wooden spoon) every few minutes when cooking in cast iron that is placed over high heat. If you are braising on the stove at low heat versus braising in the oven, the frequency of your stirring will need to be adjusted. No matter how you’re cooking though, a watchful eye on the pot plus stirring, should both be a habit not an afterthought.

    5. For all cooking vessels in general but especially for cast iron: after cooking, allow your pot to cool down completely before cleaning. NEVER immerse a hot cast iron pot into cold water, nor pour cold dish water into hot pot. You risk not only being scald by dangerous steam, but you also risk weakening the enamel, therefore lessening the durability of your pots over time.

    6. This cookware and others like it from Tramontina and Lodge are economical and if used correctly, will perform well for most cooking; if used correctly, they should also last for years. Nonetheless, if you can afford it, authentic enameled cast iron cookware made in France by Le Creuset is the best way to go. Le Creuset is the gold standard in cast iron cookware and their quality is second to none. I definitely recommend this Amazon dutch oven but if you can afford to splurge, Le Creuset's reputation is stellar. As a professional chef, I've used them in high end kitchens and their quality and performance is premier.

    I recently purchased the Amazon Basics Cast Iron Dutch Oven Pot with Lid, and I’m thoroughly impressed! This Dutch oven is the perfect size for making soups, stews, roasts, and even bread. The cast iron material is heavy-duty and distributes heat evenly, ensuring my dishes cook perfectly every time.

    The lid fits snugly, locking in moisture and flavors, and I love how it helps maintain consistent heat for slow cooking. Whether I’m using it on the stovetop or in the oven, the results have been fantastic. It’s also very easy to clean (just make sure to dry it thoroughly to avoid rusting, as with all cast iron).

    I was surprised at how affordable this Dutch oven is considering the high quality. The enamel coating is durable and looks great, and the handle design makes it easy to lift, even when it’s full. This pot has become a staple in my kitchen, and I use it at least a few times a week.

    Highly recommend this Dutch oven to anyone looking for an affordable, reliable, and versatile cooking pot!

    I've used imported utensils and this is equally good as them at a good price, works very well and cooks evenly, I've used it in my oven, my gas stove and induction everywhere the result of using this was awesome. Great buy.. so I bought the second one also. The benefit of cast iron with ceramic coating is awesome 🥳
