Mario Batali 4-Quart Essential Pot, Chianti Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I checked the DHL tracking info while the pot was en route - this 4 qt. cast iron pot ships at 17 lbs. (thank God for free shipping)! I suspected that couldn't be right, but sure enough, this is one heavy hunk of enamel-covered iron, partner. Its lid seems to weigh as much as the pot it sits on. I simply can't imagine Mario Batali's diminutive Italian grandma (well...more diminutive than he at least) hoisting this thing off the stove to put into a high cupboard. Or a low one at that. Imagine that there are bigger sized editions in this line to boot!
Mere heft aside, this is a beautifully-made pot with heirloom substance and I agree that it is the equal of any Le Creuset piece I own or have ever checked out. No wonder Chris Kimball and the staff of Cook's rated this the best buy dutch oven. It's worth what they're asking.

Mario Batali 6-Quart Italian Essentials Pot , Chianti Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is a beautiful pot, with great style and color. It's just as functional as the more expensive French model, but without the high price. The white interior stains a bit, but I still like it because the white makes it easy to see changes in sauce or roux color. A wonderful addition to my kitchen!

(More customer reviews)We use this pot for a baked brie recipe we make as a staple appetizer for get-togethers. We loved this product so much, we bought them for our parents and included the recipe as a gift. The baked brie recipe can be found here: http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/Baked-Brie-with-Caramelized-Onions-1008 Unlike the recipe, we use the small brie that fits perfectly in this pot, and similarly reduce the amount of the other inredients.

Mario Batali 2-Cup Essentials Pot, Persimmon Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)There were just enough minor flaws (3 or 4 of them)to make me not completely satisfied with the product. I wouldn't have picked this one at a store to buy.
I used a recipe that I read regarding simmering garlic covered in olive oil. Delicious.
I just don't like little pimples/dimples/not fully covered enamel spots on pots such as this.

(More customer reviews)This item was a cute and an easy-to-use item.
However, after using it three times, the coating of paint peeled off.
