How I used it?

Fried meat：
Pan-fried steak and chicken chops are my most common foods. It seems to be a simple method, but it actually tests the heat.I’m not a big fan of well-done steak. So I always have trouble controlling the heat.But I succeeded with it, and by frying it slowly over low heat, I got a juicy steak.The entire bottom of the pot was heated very evenly, and even if I sprinkled a little spice later, the aroma of the steak was retained. Finally, after turning off the heat for a while, the temperature of the food was still well maintained.However, after long-term use, the bottom will turn black, which cannot be cleaned off. But I don’t think this is a big deal since it improves the non-stick properties of the pan.
Baking bread：
The use of the Dutch Oven isn’t limited to sauteing and frying, I can basically make anything I want with it.It also has enough capacity for you to make a pot of gumbo that the family can enjoy.It’s deep enough so you don’t have to worry about food popping out during stir-frying.
It’s also great for use in the oven. I often use it to make bread, and it is actually very suitable for baking bread.The steam inside can make the bread moderately soft and hard, which is my favorite texture.This texture cannot be achieved with other toast containers. It is worth to try.
Why I love Dutch Oven？

I had some branding filters for this product. Because I’ve always had one of these pans at home, so much so that I feel like I can make just as good of a dish by owning it.So when I lived by myself and could afford it, I bought it immediately.
It is getting rave reviews for its durability and design, and the cast iron skillet is very versatile and suitable for a wide range of ingredients. I’ve had no major problems using it myself.It has been used for years and its non-stick properties have not been compromised by heat or time issues, nor has it been baked at high temperatures for long periods of time thus changing the flavor of the food as it bakes.Since I like to cook large pieces of meat, the capacity of this pan allows the steak to be completely spread out in the pan.
How to clean it?
This pot doesn’t look easy to clean, but it’s actually pretty simple. Just add soap and water to the pot and clean it with a mild brush and sponge.If there is food on the bottom of the pot that is difficult to clean, you can add water to cover the food and heat it for a while, and it will be easily removed with a shovel.
For those who want to buy
This baking pan comes in many sizes, 7.25 is considered a medium size.If you have a large family and need to prepare meals for multiple people, this size is exactly what you need.Or if you like to make bread, this cast iron pan can be a good substitute for other bread baking utensils.
Buyer's comments
I personally feel that it is very good after using it, it is very practical, and it is not a superficial display.It’s handcrafted and versatile.But my comments alone are not convincing. I also summarized user reviews from other platforms.
One U.S. buyer, who has had it for three years, says the pot is the jack-of-all-trades in the house, making it easy to transfer it from the stove to the oven.And even when cooking with tomato sauce or other mixed sauces, there will be no chemical reactions that are difficult to clean. Placing it on the stove also makes a great addition to the kitchen.
A French buyer said that owning it makes cooking easier. It makes you no longer has to worry about cleaning the pot surface and frequently changing pots for cooking. One pot can meet a variety of cooking needs.
Final verdict
I would recommend this pot to anyone who loves cooking. If you take good care of it (not to be careful, but to clean it in time and use it as required), this will be a good kitchen investment product.It allows you to use it for a long time instead of frequently changing a cookware that you are used to, and I believe that everyone who loves to cook understands how important a partner a well used cookware is.
