Commercial Chef 3.4-Qt. Dutch Oven with Lid, Cast Iron, CHCI340

Well-made and lightweight, but I purchased them for sourdough baking, and they're a tad too small for a standard loaf. If all you need is a quality 3.5-quart pot, then this is a great buy.

Very well-made, strong iron oven will outlast my other cookware. Use it for stews, soups, and deep-frying; it's very versatile, with lots of uses.

Love them, plan on buying a few more! For my sourdough business

Good quality and I am happy with the pot. I did purchase it to bake my sourdough in it and it turns out to be too small for baking a loaf but I am using it for other recipes.

All the seasoning came off, leaving rust ! And NO, I didn't soak it..the lid rusted also.I washed it, dried it, and when I went to use it again..RUST !Save your money.

OK, it is not a Lodge brand. But it works well enough for my needs and saved me some money in the process.PROS:- Overall good quality- Easy to clean (no soap - scrub with salt, rinse, then season with oil)- Heats well. Does not seems to have hot/cold spots.- Versatile - stove, oven, grill. Heck, could use in a campfire if I wanted to.- Lid fits well and keeps heat inCONS:- Initial seasoning from factory was garbage so needed to be re-done prior to using- Weird design with plastic lid handle which is not oven-friendly (so I took it off)- Had a few sharp edges on it - hit it with a file to smooth off

This pot heats evenly and does a great job with soups, stews, and sourdough bread. It feels sturdy without being overly heavy, and the lid fits well to retain moisture. It’s a nice size, not massive but big enough for cooking most meals feeding 3-4. Easy to clean, great value, and very versatile—great addition to my kitchen.

Yes, I love it

Good product

Funcional, es de buen hierro. Solo hay que curarla, pero realmente es muy buena para cocinar muchas cosas, si la recomiendo

I bought an expensive enamelled dutch oven for my sour dough loaves but after every bake it would get dark spots all over the outside of it, even though I would scrub it immaculately before putting it in the oven.Then I saw someone suggest to use non enamelled cast iron pot and this price was so excellent that I thought I would give it a try.Very happy with my bread results. Great size for a loaf and well made.Someone mentioned that the knob was plastic but mine is not, it is cast iron and held up well in a 450 degree oven.It did have a smell when heating it in the oven at first. I would recommend for first use to heat and cool it maybe once before actually using.

Rusty after 3 uses

For its price, ideal size dimensions and my own personal unorthodox use case, I highly recommend. My specific use case was using its lid at the bottom of my Weber Smokey Mountain 14-inch cooker and the pot itself as a replacement for the smoker's drip catcher. By using this cast iron setup, it allows for better heat retention and temperature consistency for a more predictable cooking session.
