Review: Don’t hesitate at this price point. ($20 + shipping) - I ordered this classic enamel cast-iron rounded casserole in a 3 quart size in order to make smaller loaves of sourdough bread. So far I have cooked basmati brown rice and black beans with veggies in it and they have turned out wonderfully. The item is well made with no defects or chips in the enamel. I love cooking in cast-iron and appreciate the even heat dispersion. I took a chance ordering this at a markedly reduced rate in a color I would not have otherwise chosen. I’m glad I did. The item shipped very quickly across country and arrived in pristine condition. The second one is on the way. The color is very neutral, almost like sage/putty. The inside finish is more of a creamy white. I can highly recommend. I have had other Cuisinart enamel cast-iron that have held up extremely well with oven and stove use. They are heavy, but that reflects the density of the cast-iron. I did some research into similar sized pots and apparently there have been issues with some of the other name brands (MS) having the enamel explode at high heat. I chose to go with a known product that I have been very happy with. Review: Highly recommend!! - I am working on replacing all of my old kitchen stuff because we are currently in the middle of a makeover. This was just a new addition. I have the full chef’s classic in stainless but decided to buy my first cast/enameled piece to add a little pizazz to my cookware. Absolutely love the color and quality! I will be looking to buy some other pieces now. The value was amazing. Definitely as good as the Le Creuset but for a portion of the price.

In contrast, **all** of Staub's enameled cast iron -- including full-sized, non-mini 'Cocottes,' 'Fry Pans', etc. -- are still made in France.) Oh, and BTW, the U.S.-based fulfillment center of Staub's manufacturer -- German company Zwilling Henckels -- is a major employer in upstate New York. I'm not against products made in China per se, but I do try to avoid cookware manufactured in China because of chemical-leeching and off-gassing issues, so I research the heck out of every piece of cookware I buy. Telephone calls to Staub's U.S. headquarters as recently as just last week (07/22/20) confirmed the data that I've given above. Staub enameled cast iron is still forged and enameled in France. **Q: I recently bought this in 5quart size. Tag says top lid can only be heated to 350 deg but the no-knead bread I'm baking requires 450 deg. Is this ok?** A: They must've corrected this as the description says (at least for the 7 quart model) "Oven safe knob for a durable grip and endless cooking options." That doesn't help folks with older models, but it is reassuring to those of us considering buying one. **Q: what are the interior dimensions of this pan? several reviews say the listed depth is incorrect.** A: Measured from the INSIDE of the dish, mine measured 2 7/16''. I think the other measurements are taken from the OUTSIDE of the dish which makes it sound much deeper. I think pyrex is measured from the outside also, but because this dish is so thick on the outside, it adds a lot of measurement that is NOT on the inside depth. I can get 4 layers of lasagna into this baby, and use it for large casseroles easily. **Q: how deep is the dish for the 7 qt?** A: It's about 7.5" deep and about 11" across. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Don’t hesitate at this price point.

Cuisinart Chef’s Classic does not disappoint!! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A great buy for the most versatile pot in the kitchen *by H***R on November 10, 2019* For the price it is a very good buy. My previous Dutch oven was made by Clup which I received as a gift 35 years ago and probably the most used pot in my kitchen. It held up well but I wanted to upgrade to a bigger size and withstand higher temperatures in the oven. While this may not be the Cadillac of dutch ovens, it is a very good second choice as it is Americas Test Kitchens runner up or best buy. I agree that the large cooking surface is a big plus when browning meats or vegetables. Love the large capacity when making Chili, soups and stews since I like to make large quantities to have extra to put in the freezer. Love this pot as much as I love my Cast Iron skillet. It heats evenly, retains heat well and is easy to clean. Stuck on cheese is no problem. Let it soak filled with hot water for about 10 minutes and cleanup doesn't require a lot of elbow grease. I love that it can go from stove top right into the oven. Find myself using it instead of casserole dishes. Works just as well if not better and saves on a dirty dishes. So far I have used this Dutch Oven at least 4 to 5 times a week and keep fining more uses for it almost every day. If you don't want to spend $360 for the top brand, this is by far and away your best buy. With over 40 years of experience in the kitchen this grandma is very happy with her purchase. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/1669012-chefs-classic-enameled-cast-iron-dutch-oven-with-lid-porcelain](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/1669012-chefs-classic-enameled-cast-iron-dutch-oven-with-lid-porcelain) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-08-22*
