BK Cookware BV Dutch Oven 2.5QT, Black

I received my new pot and appears to be flawed. The enamel coating started to pop off. It was going everywhere.. I complained and they have quickly put a replacement in the mail which I should have soon. Hopefully this one will be good!I received my replacement pot and it is also flawed. A crack and missing enamel on handle am so disappointed. It is being returned and money being refunded.

I was searching for a nonstick thick gauge pot for making Indian sweets, which are made with thickened milk ( almost like a milk fudge) milk is very easy to stick with most pots and pans I was unable to find suitable pot. I have been using nonstick pots which mostly contain teflon coating and are made of Aluminum, so I wanted something made of either cast iron or cast steel. Inloked into cast iron options but either too heavy or cleaning can be difficult or needs a lot of care.! So I opted out for cast iron option. Then I found this amazing pot which made of cast steel and the coating is nontoxic. So I decided to give it a try. Once I ordered it, the delivery was prompt. Tge packing was beautifully done.! When I opened the package I fell in love with this beautiful pot.! It is one the best of it's kind! It has a very good weight to feel but not too heavy like a cast iron.! It is beautifully enameled with a nontoxic ceramic material.! It has a beautiful color, both inside and out.! I already tried to see if it serves the purpose I bought for and I am thrilled to announce that yes it exceed all my expectations.! The milk cooks on a slow flame without sticking to the bottom and it gets thicker quicker than the pots I have been using.!!!!! Cleaning the pot is super easy too. Just soak in water for a few minutes and wash with dish soap. Doesn't need any scrubbing or hard work.! I really appreciate this manufacturer for their amazing creation of cookware. I really liked it very much and I can say this is made for generations to last.!! Truly amazing and I can strongly recommend others. It is a worthwhile investment for your and probably for the next generation too.!!!

I wanted this for baking bread, and making soup. This 2 1/2 qt size (10 cups) is perfect for a 3-4 cup bread recipe. I don't know why recipes always recommend 5 qt pots. As you can see from my picture, the 3 cup recipe fits with plenty of room for a 4 cup recipe.I found the information lacking in the description, so I was forced to read the enclosed little brochure. Here are some highlights. This pot is oven safe to 500 deg. Don't bang spoons on the rim of the pot, you might crack the enamel. Don't put a hot pot in a cold refrigerator, or on a cold counter. You can pre-heat it in the oven by putting it in when you turn the oven on, otherwise you can put it in a hot oven too. It's better to use wood or silicone utensils for stirring. Do not use harsh cleaners, or pot scrapers just mild soap and warm water. Keep a gas flame under the pot that does not exceed the diameter of the pot. The pot is dishwasher safe, but I always wash by hand. Handles get hot. Warranty: Lifetime on manufacturing defects, and 5 years for the enamel layer.The pot is very easy to clean if you don't use swiss or other sticky cheeses in your soup. (Yes, personal experience. Next time, liquid cheese sauce!). I always use parchment under my bread dough when it rises in the basket before baking. Then I transfer the dough to the pre-heated pot. No clean up! Finally...this pot is beautiful!

This is Debbie Roberts and this is best Dutch Oven ever. It cooks perfectly. Made a roast on stove top and only took 1 1/2 hours. In the oven it would have been 6 hours. And so tender. No more worries if I’m running behind and don’t get the roast in the oven or crock pot. Now this in MY GO TO. And cleaning when I just sprayed it off and every thing came right off. If you want fast and easy cooking and clean up this is the product for you!! And did I mention this is a high end product. You cant get a better looking Dutch Oven anywhere. This pic is before I put the lid on to cook.

Not able to lift like I used to b/c of injuries & age, so my enameled cast iron, which I love, is being used less. It will go to my daughter. This is the lighter weight alternative, recommended by a national kitchen store chain manager. SO much lighter, cleans as easily as the other brand, and love the indigo color. On the down side, the darker interior enamel makes browning harder to gauge, there isn't quite as much cooking surface b/c the bottom is rounded on the perimeter, and the lid doesn't have as tight a seal b/c of the no boil over feature. Overall, it's worth the trade-off for me. Hope this helps others find what's right for them. I also own the 5.5 quart of this line, and use it alot.
