It's Lord I'm no chef again with another 5 star review! This is a beautiful, solid, durable, elegant cast iron dutch oven for very little money! Single men made by recent circumstances do not have to think cooking is difficult. Hot dogs, pizza and eating out will become expensive and boring. For me the Lord said, " if you can read, you can cook. Follow the directions." Well, I am making my kitchen complete thanks to Great Offer Stock and have done several recipes and have been pleasantly surprised. My advise: get the essentials, but don't buy cheap. Thanks again Overstock!
