26cm/5.2L Enamelled Cast Iron Round Casserole Dish, Cherry red

I've been on the lookout for a new cast iron Dutch oven ever since my trusty old one, which I had for over a decade, sadly broke during a house move. Having gone without one for a while, I recently got into baking sourdough bread and realised it was the perfect excuse to buy a new one. After countless hours of researching the ideal size, coating, and colour, I decided on this Overmont 6.6L enamelled cast iron Dutch oven, specifically because I wanted a larger capacity for baking bigger loaves, and I’m so glad I did!At first, I was sceptical since I'd never heard of Overmont before, but everything about this oven won me over. The size is absolutely perfect for large sourdough loaves, casseroles, and hearty stews. The enamelled coating is not only beautiful, but incredibly practical. The bright orange finish was exactly as shown in the photos, vibrant and eye-catching, which I was thrilled about since you often don’t get that level of accuracy when ordering online.One of the things that stood out immediately was how well-made this Dutch oven is. The moment I lifted the box, I could feel its solid build. It is heavy, just like you’d expect from quality cast iron, and feels durable enough to last a lifetime. I was particularly drawn to its ability to handle high heat both on the hob and in the oven, which makes it perfect for searing meats or getting that amazing crust on a sourdough loaf.In terms of performance, this Dutch oven doesn’t disappoint. It heats up quickly and retains the heat exceptionally well, which is crucial for baking. I’ve baked a few loaves of sourdough in it already, and each one has turned out with a beautifully crisp crust and soft, airy interior. It also works wonders for slow-cooked dishes like casseroles and stews, locking in moisture and flavour thanks to its tight-fitting lid.The delivery was fast, and the packaging was impressive. Everything arrived in pristine condition, including some lovely extras like the cotton potholders, which have already come in handy. I only paid £50.49, which feels like an absolute steal for the quality you get. It is comparable to high-end brands but at a fraction of the cost.If you're after a Dutch oven for baking or slow-cooking, this one is definitely worth considering. It is fantastic value for money, built to last, and performs like a dream. I’m thrilled with my purchase and would highly recommend it to both first-time buyers and those looking to upgrade.Thank you for taking the time to read my review. I hope that you found it helpful and that it assists you in your decision-making. I try to be as honest and fair as possible, as those have always been the reviews that helped me the most.

Amazing - such a good cheaper alternative to the Le Creuset dishes. Very easy to keep clean and the yellow colour is a beautiful vibrant but not too intense colour that suits our yellow kitchen perfectly. Would definitely buy again and recommend to others. Good heat distribution and works so well for making pretty much anything. Perfect depth if you’re cooking for 2-4 people.

Brilliant. Really well made, excellent price, and looks great.It's the perfect size for baking bread, which is what I've bought it for, and it does that excellently.It is heavy, but so it should be for a cast iron pot.You could also do some great casseroles etc in it too. It's a really good Dutch oven.

Absolutely brilliant casserole dish! Far better than the good quality glass dishes. Amazing results with Boulangère potatoes and so easy to clean afterward. Even with baked on juices!! I wish I had discovered these casserole dishes before. You will not be disappointed. Size was perfect. Colour even more so. You can take to table with family and dish up. Well worth money.

I’ve really enjoyed cooking with the Overmont 26cm/5.2L Enamelled Cast Iron Dutch Oven. I must admit, it’s quite heavy, but that’s to be expected with cast iron. The weight is worth it because it cooks food evenly, and everything I’ve made in it has turned out great.One tip I’d recommend is if any food gets stuck after cooking, fill the pot with water, add a little bicarbonate of soda, and heat it gently for a while. This helps loosen any stubborn residue and makes cleaning much easier.Overall, it’s a sturdy, high-quality pot that performs really well, and I’m very happy with it.

I love it so much I bought two. Great size, i have never owned a casserole pot, or cast iron before. Love the colour options and the accessories that come with. Nothing has stuck to it so far. Heavy, so if yiu struggle with your mobility this isn't for you really. Im hoping it lasts a long time

Nice pot!! Quite heavy though

I love everything about this casserole dish, having never had a cast iron one before. I chose this one, because it is enameled lined, with a self basting lid.The colour I chose is I would say is teal, rather than sea green. I love teal! I made sure I read all the care instructions, because when you buy something like this, you want it to last, and by just avoiding certain things, like maybe putting it in cold water while it is still hot, or not washing and drying thoroughly, can lead to rust around the bare edges on the rim and lid. I wiped a tiny amount of avocado oil around the dish and lid edges to protect it. It came with a small recipe book. Also, cute little pads for moving it, when the handles are hot, and a silicon mat. My Polish friend taught me to cook Rosol, on the stove top uncovered, which was my first use of it, and as the heat distribution ensured the long slow cooking, essential for this meal, it was a complete success. It is heavy, even when empty, so check you will be able to manage it, All in all, one of my best ever purchases. Being able to start cooking on the stove, then transfer to the oven too, is very useful. It goes without saying that looked after, it will be durable and a great addition to any kitchen.

I loved the sight of Overmont Cast Iron stew pan. The colour and finish is amazing. I have yet to use it as I recently received it.

Ho acquistato questa casseruola in ghisa smaltata Overmont (modello rotondo da 28 cm, colore Blu Lago) e se vi piace cucinare, vi dico subito che è un acquisto che vi cambierà la vita ai fornelli. Offre prestazioni paragonabili a marchi blasonati che costano il triplo!I Punti di Forza (Perché la adoro):Cottura impeccabile e calore uniforme: La ghisa è magica per trattenere e distribuire il calore. È perfetta per i ragù a cottura lenta, gli stracotti, gli spezzatini, ma anche per cuocere il pane in forno (viene con una crosta pazzesca!).Versatilità totale: La uso ovunque. Parte dal piano a induzione (viene riconosciuta immediatamente senza problemi) e finisce direttamente in forno. Il fatto che sia smaltata significa che non teme cibi acidi come il pomodoro o il vino, a differenza della ghisa grezza.Estetica favolosa: Il colore "Lago-blu" è semplicemente stupendo, con una finitura lucida elegante. A fine cottura, invece di sporcare altri piatti, la prendo e la metto direttamente al centro della tavola. Fa un figurone.Capacità generosa: Con un diametro di 28 cm, è bella capiente. È l'ideale per cucinare per tutta la famiglia (4-6 persone) o per preparare porzioni abbondanti da congelare.Pulizia semplice: Grazie al rivestimento antiaderente smaltato, non serve la noiosa manutenzione della ghisa tradizionale. Basta un po' di acqua calda e una spugna morbida per farla tornare come nuova.Cosa c'è da sapere (Le "regole" della ghisa):Il peso si fa sentire: È ghisa vera e di ottima qualità, il che significa che è pesante! Soprattutto quando è piena di cibo da 28 cm, maneggiarla richiede un po' di forza.Attenzione agli shock termici: Per farla durare una vita, ricordatevi di non metterla mai sotto l'acqua fredda quando è ancora rovente, e usate solo mestoli in legno o silicone per non graffiare lo smalto interno.Verdetto Finale:Se sognate una "cocotte" olandese per elevare le vostre ricette invernali e le cotture lente, ma non volete spendere 200 o 300 euro per i marchi francesi famosi, questa Overmont è la scelta definitiva. Robusta, bellissima e performante. Straconsigliata!

I love this Dutch oven and haven’t had any issues with it. I’ve used it for sourdough, soups, and pasta and it’s been great for all of them. It deglazes very well, and comes clean easily. I’ve soaked it occasionally just to make cleaning super easy but it hasn’t been necessary. I adore the colour, the lid fits well, and the enamel is nearly perfect with the exception of one TINY spot that didn’t get covered but it doesn’t impact cooking at all and I haven’t had any issues with it. Pics of before and after deglazing, and the tiny imperfection. Overall I love this Dutch oven, you can’t beat the price, and I’d definitely recommend it.

Wouah. Belle, très bien travaillée. Belle couleur. Superbe qualité. Lourde mais c'est normal c'est de la fonte. Prix incroyable. Je l'adore.Livrée en 2 jours. Petits cadeaux en plus livre de cuisine, maniques et sous plat en silicone. Merci au vendeur
