“I came upon this product while I was looking for the original Le Creuset model,” shared one shopper who has used both brands before. “The quality is A1 and it’s as easy to clean as the original famous Creuset brand. This is a good replica that won’t empty your wallet!”

Made from enamelled cast iron, this Dutch oven delivers even heat distribution so you can bake, broil and roast to your heart’s content. Available in four vibrant colours, you can even match it to any kitchen decor.

Reviewers have been keen to praise this affordable cooker for being “easy to clean” and “durable,” with one shopper even calling it the greatest thing they’ve bought on Amazon so far.

“I was a bit reluctant to buy this initially, but for the price tag it was hard to resist,” they elaborated. “For less than half the price of Lodge and quarter the price of Le Creuset, this is amazing.”

As for cooking results, reviewers have also shared their successes using the Dutch oven to create a wide range of dishes, from breads and stews to soups and roasts.

“In the last 24 hours I have made a chicken, made stock from that chicken, and then made soup, all in this pot,” one shopper raved. “The results were delicious, I had no issues transferring the pot from the stovetop to the oven (other than the weight, but that is to be expected with cast iron), and it was extremely easy to clean.”

Available in four sizes that range from 4.3 to 7.5 quarts (4.0L to 7.1L), there’s a Dutch oven to suit any family’s needs.
