Martha Stewart 3.5-Quart Enameled Cast Iron Dutch Oven Braiser – Linen with Gold Knob – Durable Heavy-Duty Braising Pot for Slow Cooking and Searing

I’ve only used this pot once so far and really liked it. It’s a great size and beautiful color. It cooks evenly. It cleans nicely too. It is pretty heavy though.

Love this pan! Color is beautiful. Evenly distributes heat and helps to control burning food! Perfect size for combination dishes. I’ve used it multiple times and definitely recommend.

I love Martha Stewart Products!! High Quality. This 3 1/2 qt cast iron Braiser has given me so many great meals for boiling my long grain pasta to frying sausages,etc. It never leaves my stovetop. It's attractive & mine is in antique white.

This is great, I made chicken in it and bake Foxaccia in it. Awesome purchase sturdy and love the price! Way to go Martha!

I had been looking for a smaller sized enameled cast iron dutch oven for awhile now. I like how versatile Dutch ovens can be when cooking, and also how well they hold the heat, but the Dutch oven I had is just too large when cooking for only one or two people normally. This dutch oven is elegant looking, with a ripple embossed around the perimeter of the pan. The color of the pan I chose is called Martha Blue, which has a slight green tint added to the light blue color. The lid of the dutch oven fits tightly. The lid also is self basting, as it has a dimpled surface rather than a smooth one, which is something I really like, as it makes basting pretty much a thing of the past in this style of a dutch oven. Comparing Martha Stewart's Dutch Oven to a Le Creuset or Staub version, both of which I have used in the past, Martha Stewart's Dutch Oven seems to be slightly thinner than the others. That is not necessarily a detriment, as it makes the oven lighter in weight. The Martha Stewart 3 quart sized pan is still plenty heavy. Martha Stewart's Dutch oven is not dishwashable, whereas Le Creuset is. I do not remember what the dishwashing status was with Staub. Most noticeable however, and I took one star off my rating because of it - the glazing on the Martha Stewart Dutch oven is not applied as well as it is with Le Creuset or Staub. On the exterior of the Martha Stewart Dutch oven, the glaze is fine, but along the interior, just below the rim where the lid would rest, the glazing was both unevenly applied and thin. I can actually see a white glaze and then the interior glaze, which is more a creamy color that attempts to cover the white in all places, but does not quite make it over everything at the rim.. Other than the glazing, this is a nice Dutch oven for the price involved. It should last for years if careful with it. I am happy with mine.

Love the durability n color!

Perfect beautiful open box. I’m grateful!

Gift for my sister, she bakes an Italian leaf of bread. SHE LOVES IT. great color

On the lid and handles, there are some small dimples that show that the cast iron and enamel are not as smooth as Staub and Le Creuset. However, I bought this for $44, so I cannot fault the value. I do love the duck egg blue colour and unusual pattern. This is a great size and shape to make a little oil fryer or cooking a meat and vegetables dish for 1 person (2 generous serves). The handle is long enough to comfortably carry.

This is heavy pan. I'm 76 yr old female senior. I didn't have much trouble Lifting it when full. It cooks well. The base of the pan is about 10 inches width. It a 4-6 family size pan. It's easy to clean as long as the food isn't left to stick. The color is pleasant to the eyes. I would recommended this for batch or 4-6 person cooking. It's cast iron so it's a heavy pan.

The greatest pot I’ve ever purchased in my whole life. No complaints. The color is beautiful and it’s high quality. I love Martha Blue! The 5qt is the perfect size for everything.m - it’s all you need!

This is beautifully made pan. I have tried it twice so far - it just arrived last week. The heat is distributed evenly to perfect meat searing and cooking. After using this pan, I soaked it in soapy hot water for 20 minutes and all brown bits and pieces came away under soft sponge. Love this pan! And the color is fabulous - very cheerful :)

I never realized what a difference beautiful cookware makes in the presentation of food. I made braised ribs in this Dutch oven and Oh my. It came out of the oven looking like one of those full colour pictures in a vintage cookbook. The tender meat and gravy and sliced carrots against the ivory and and Robin's egg blue of the pot were just nostalgic and beautiful. And the food was cooked perfectly too. Thumbs up Martha. I don't like a cluttered countertop but I keep this Dutch oven out where I can see it and enjoy it every day.
