Overmont 2 in 1 Pre Seasoned Dutch Oven with Skillet Lid for Induction, Electric, Grill, Stovetop, BBQ, Camping (5 Quart)

For the price point this is a very nicely finished cast-iron dutch oven. The flat surfaces are flat. The factory applied seasoning is a "good start" but, as with most cast-iron factory applied seasonings it is only a start and you are well advised to do a coupe more seasoning rituals get the "built up" surface finished a truly well seasoned piece of cast iron has. The lid makes a great pan which we use in our Komado Joe egg-type grill.For those who may be hunters, target shooters, and use cast bullets I purchased another one to use specifically to smelt "range pick up savage scrap lead" to use resprocess and use for bullet casting. This five-quart dutch oven is large enough to melt a good forty-five to fifty pounds refined fluxed lead lead at a time. This dutch oven is a perfect size for my favorite heat source, the Concord Titan Burner (propane)( wihich has heavy duty stainless steel frame with box formed legs. Very sturdy burner.

I bought this specifically for making sourdough bread and it works perfectly! SIze is just right for a boule, an I love that the lid can be used as as skillet, which came in handy when making sourdough english muffins.Came nicely seasoned. I didn't do anything aside form wash off with water before using and it worked great. Very sturdy so I expect this will keep me making bread for many many years!

Oh, this is a great Dutch oven!It is high - quality, and very substantial. The weight isn’t too heavy, but it isn’t flimsy, either. It looks and feels just like its more expensive peers, and has great seal. I used it to bake a loaf of gluten - free sourdough bread, and it worked wonderfully - the top and bottom came out equally crispy with a golden crust, and delicious!

Delivery is very fast. And I have already baked my sourdough bread. A wonderful pan. The most important thing is to follow the rules of use for cast iron products. Yes, it may not be very convenient to remove the hot lid, which at the same time can serve as a frying pan, but it is functional and profitable. I am very happy with my purchase.

Good pot/pan combo, even heating, no hot spots, but the pre-seasoning was only skin-deep, and on first use I could already see a couple of small spots in the pan (lid) that had been missed. Then I noticed a small rust spot on the side of the pot after a bread crust stuck to it on just the 2nd or 3rd use (I had only used it to bake bread at that point). I bought this item to slow cook soups and stews, as well as bake bread, so I tried leaving salted water in the pot for a few hours to see if it would rust, and sure enough the bottom and sides had rusted evenly, everywhere, right up to the waterline after just 3-4 hours, so I decided to re-season both the pot and the pan/lid -- properly -- before using them to cook soup. I'd recommend this item at the $30-35 I paid for it, but realize that in exchange for the savings you will need to take the time to give it a PROPER seasoning before using it to cook anything liquid (unless you want more iron in your diet).

I've been using this Dutch oven for about 8 months now and I'm so happy with it! I've gotten nothing but good results with every loaf of bread made in this thing. I like being able to use the shallow pan as the bottom and the deep pot as the lid, so I'm not having to reach down into it to lift my bread out and risk getting burnt. For the low cost, it is a great quality Dutch oven and I recommend it highly to anyone getting in to bread baking at home.

Good quality. lid fits well and makes a great pan, I frequency use for cooking eggs. Made some good sour dough bread in this dutch oven. Seasoned well.

These are perfect - the perfect size, perfectly seasoned, perfectly fit inside one another at a perfect price. They do come pre-seasoned, but there’s nothing like a good old-fashioned seasoning done by a good old-fashioned woman. They clean up wonderfully, nothing has stuck to them. The lid doubling as a pan is a fabulous idea.
