Amazon Basics Round Pre-Seasoned Cast Iron Mini Dutch Oven Pot with Lid and Dual Handles, 1.89 l, Black

Wanted a cast iron pot that wasn't coated in enamel in hope that iron will leech into food to treat low ferritin. Don't know if that is the case but pot works well on hob and in oven. Washes well and I just give it an oiling every now and then. Heavy and good heat distribution. Lid is a good fit. Plenty of room for cooking large portions/feeding a large family. Looks good.

Really well made, solid, perfect size. Supplied with clear care instructions (read them, worth it to look after your oven). Used to bake a loaf in, have to say it is the BEST cook so far - far better even than the expensive enameled version we have. Great value, recommend this. Will be looking to add with a larger one.

I never liked fried items unless they were dipped in a generous amount of oil or fried in a cast iron wok (karai). It’s a lifesaver. With the lid on, the cooking takes less time and turns out perfectly. The only drawbacks are that the Amazon seal is embossed on the bottom, and I’ve only used it on a gas stove, so I’m not sure how it would work on an induction cooktop. Another point: you need to take extra care after washing, like applying a thin layer of oil. Otherwise, it looks very matte and shows signs of developing rust.

I received this today. Having bought a Lodge Dutch Oven for bread making and general use I'm already used to cooking with seasoned cast iron and looking after it. This Amazon Basics 1.9 litre pot is just what I needed. It is pre-seasoned but as it's new I gave it a soapy wash, dried it and then rubbed a little ghee into it and seasoned it again in the oven at 235 C for an hour. I cooked Basmati rice in it this evening: fried the washed, soaked, drained rice in a little ghee and then cooked it by the absorption method with 1½ times volume of water as rice, a little salt, brought to boil then simmered at lowest heat with lid on. I got very nicely cooked rice, very evenly cooked with the grains well separated and no stickiness. And this on a rather terrible electric hob. Cleaning the pot was so easy, just a quick soapy wipe, dry it and rub a little oil in. The pot seems really well made. No chips, no cracks, no places where the metal is thin. The lid is great, nice and heavy, snug fit. You'll see some reviews by people who find their pot rusted. This is not a fault of the product, it's that they have not known how to use and look after cast iron cookware. It is not like aluminium, steel or copper or teflon coated. It is much better than those but you must do the basics: wash it after use, dry it and add a little oil/fat/butter/ghee - rub it in with a paper towel. The non-stick effect gets better and better. Washing up gets easier and easier. Cooking gets easier too when you can rely on a non-stick surface even at very high temperatures. I'm very pleased with this pot. edit: 10 weeks after purchase. I like this item very much. Its base is 100% flat and even so it heats up incredibly quickly on induction and responds to temperature/power changes instantly. I've now also used it as a small Dutch Oven bread baker and it's great. I had to adjust my recipe and use a smaller banneton but it's worth it for some purposes to get a loaf which is as tall as it is wide. It worked great, equally well as my larger Lodge Dutch Oven. I regularly do wicked things like make highly acidic tomato and red pepper sauces in this pot. It's fine. Just give it the usual maintenance of a slightly soapy wash and a good dry and then rub oil into it. I wish Amazon Basics offered a wider variety of sizes of pots just like this. If they made a 2.5 litre I'd buy one. Probably two. Edit: I added a photo. If you get your dough down to 700g it is just the right size to use this small Amazon Basics pot as a Dutch Oven for bread making. I instructed ChatGPT to use the baker's formula to resize my recipe and it worked a treat. It's nice to bake in a pot which is taller than it is wide so you can get a rounder, taller, less flat loaf.

Dear customer service team I'm writing to rise a formal complaint regarding a cast iron pot o recently purchased from amazon the products was advertised as pre seasoned and I followed all the instructions provided. After cooking in it, I washed and dried it throughly as directed. Despite this the next day the pot had developed rust all over its surfaces. This indicates that the product is either not preseasoned or is of poor quality. As the item is not fit for the purpose I'm requesting a full refund. I look forward for your prompt response and resolution of this matter.

Was sceptical in buying this as reviews were mixed but this was perfect for me to make my leg of lamb inside. A good size and I followed the clean up instructions and it has worked perfectly. Hoping it lasts me a while.

Perfect size for two people. Good quality and I know it'll last a long time. I would definitely recommend.

Any cast iron product claiming to be "pre-seasoned" is not seasoned enough, and the instructions that come with the pot prove this. This is probably why some reviews mark it down for rusting or non-stick. It's an excellently cast pot and lid, no flash or other manufacturing blemishes. I seasoned it four times (easy to do) and it's first use was making a hotpot tonight. There was some catching from the food on the sides of the pot but it was easily removed using hot water and a sponge scourer (non-metal). Certainly easier to clean than stainless or non-stick pots I've owned. Don't use detergent, it will ruin the seasoning. Dry it properly, wipe it with another very thin layer of oil as if you were seasoning it again and store it ready for next time. This will last me a lifetime and for something costing a tenth of the price of "big brands" is an absolute bargain.

Este comentario se refiere a la versión de 7 Cuartos, 6 litros y medio o 30 cm de base. Es una cazuela o cocotte enorme y pesada. Es el tipo de utensilio todo-terreno con el que se puede vivir sin tener otros. Se puede usar como horno holandés, como sartén, como cazuela para guisos, cocidos, estofados, sofritos o incluso para hacer sopas y caldos. Sin embargo hay que tener en cuenta dos cosas: 1- Lleva una especie de capa de pavonado para evitar que se oxide durante el almacenaje y transporte. Contrariamente a las instrucciones que se dan en la hoja que se suministra mi recomendación es rascar y quitar esta capa interna, ponerla a hervir agua, volver a frotar con papel y hacer el «curado» normal. O sea, untar con aceite o incluso manteca el interior y dejar en el horno o fogón a alta temperatura un buen rato. No hace falta que sea una hora, como dicen muchos tutoriales y la hoja de uso adjunta. 2 - Dicho lo anterior si te has acostumbrado a la cultura del aluminio recubierto de teflón antiadherente y no quieres cambiar de rutina, mejor olvídate de comprar este tipo utensilios para cocinar. Son pesados, es necesario precalentarlos antes de vertir los alimentos que queremos cocinar, no se deben usar detergente desengrasantes tipo KH7, no se deben lavar en el lavavajillas, si fríes tomate debes volver a engrasar el fondo para evitar que se oxiden... Vamos, en definitiva todo lo contrario de la rutina de la cocina doméstica moderna. Como ventajas tienes que duran generaciones, no tienes que andar con cucharas y espátulas de plástico por el temor a rayarlos, la distribución y retención del calor es infinitamente mejor, no hay peligro de que se desconche el esmaltado o se abombe la base si te pasas de temperatura. Sobre los comentarios negativos he de decir que compré otra cazuela de hierro fundido hace más de un año con reseñas negativas incluso peores que la de esta cazuela y en mi caso no he tenido ningún problema, está como la estrené y eso que le he dado usos agresivos como la de hacer sofritos de cebolla y tomate. ¡Ningún problema! simplemente un poco de aceite después de enjuagar con agua caliente y a la estantería de la cocina.

Excellent quality, Highly recomended

Parfait et peu cher 👍🧑‍🍳🧑‍🍳

Ich habe mir diesen Schmortopf mit 1,9 Liter Fassungsvermögen bestellt und zum Brotbacken verwendet. Die Größe ist perfekt für ein kleines Brot mit etwa 500 g Mehl. Das Brot ist richtig schön geworden, außen knusprig und innen saftig. Der Topf ist schwer und macht einen stabilen Eindruck. Den Ofen hat der Topf unbeschadet überstanden. Die Qualität ist meines Erachtens gut und das Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis passt.

Sono rimasto estremamente soddisfatto di questa casseruola in ghisa di Amazon Basics. È un prodotto solido, affidabile e che offre prestazioni di cottura eccezionali a un prezzo davvero competitivo. ​Punti di Forza: ​Distribuzione e Mantenimento del Calore Superiore: La ghisa è imbattibile. Una volta raggiunta la temperatura, la mantiene in modo uniforme per tutta la cottura, il che è perfetto per stufati, brasati a fuoco lento o anche per friggere. Le carni vengono sigillate alla perfezione e i cibi cucinano in modo omogeneo. La cottura del pane è perfetta, forma una crosticina che sembra pane cotto in un forno professionale. ​Durata Eterna e Versatilità: Questa casseruola è costruita per durare generazioni. Essendo in ghisa pura (non smaltata), la sua resistenza è massima. La uso tranquillamente su fornelli, in forno e persino sul fuoco vivo all'aperto. Più la si usa, meglio cucina! Non ho bisogno di preoccuparmi che lo smalto si scheggi o rovini. ​Rapporto Qualità-Prezzo Imbattibile: Per la qualità della ghisa e la robustezza del prodotto, il prezzo di Amazon Basics è imbattibile. È una scelta eccellente per chi vuole entrare nel mondo della ghisa senza spendere una fortuna. Punto debole: è sconsigliato cucinare salsa di pomodori in quanto quest'ultimi sono alimenti molto acidi. L'acidità può reagire con il metallo della ghisa grezza e rilasciare un sapore metallico alle vostre pietanze. ​⭐ Nota: Per chi è nuovo alla ghisa non smaltata, ricordate che richiede un po' di cura in più (mai sapone e asciugatura immediata), ma il risultato in cucina ripaga ampiamente lo sforzo! ​In conclusione, la Casseruola in Ghisa Amazon Basics è un acquisto che rifarei mille volte. È un vero classico della cucina, robusta e perfetta per chi cerca risultati professionali nei piatti che richiedono un calore costante e intenso. Consigliatissima!
