Amazon.com Review
Made of rugged cast iron, this classic Dutch oven not only slow-bakes traditional camp food such as chicken and dumplings, but thanks to the included aluminum basket can be used to steam clams, boil corn on the cob, or deep-fry fish with everything lifting out easily for draining. The relatively flat cast-iron lid is ringed by a one-inch lip that holds coals for the "oven" effect, and features a loop handle that can be hooked easily by a lid lifter. Because this model is designed without legs, the oven can sit comfortably on a grill or stovetop if desired. The perforated aluminum basket and the Dutch oven each feature a wire handle that stays upright at a 45-degree angle away from the heat, and swings down to the side for compact storage. The pot measures 12 by 5 inches and features an integral tab handle on one side that adds leverage when pouring food or liquid out of the pot. Before the first use, the cast-iron Dutch oven and lid should be seasoned at least once and preferably several times. This will help prevent rusting and creates a nonstick finish. After washing and drying thoroughly, the cookware should be coated with solid vegetable shortening, such as lard or bacon fat (not butter or margarine). Let the pot 'bake' in a 300-degree-F oven for one hour, then remove and wipe off the excess. Spraying with a non-stick shortening after each use can also help season the pan. Most cast-iron cookware can be scrubbed clean by hand without detergents and then should be dried immediately. Bayou Classic makes a full range of heavy-duty cookers and cookware for the outdoor chef. --Ann Bieri

Great pot, hard to clean first time January 13, 2007

This is great heavy duty pot for a very low price. I've used it so far to cook a pineapple upside down cake on coals and stew. It worked very well, even without the usual camping legs. This made in China pot has many minor pits and defects in the cooking surface but cooks well after two rounds of seasoning.
Here are a few minor issues I had with the pot that caused me to give it 4 stars. The lid has a loop handle that is really set up for a lid lifter. Removing the lid with a pot holder is risky, since the lid is so very heavy. The pot comes coated with wax to prevent rusting in shipment. It is very hard to fully get the wax off, requiring several cycles of heating and soapy rinse. The thin wire handles are the only secure way to lift the pot when full but its awkward and painful.
The pot is great but the difficulty of the first cleaning has me looking at preseasoned pot for the future.
 Superb Dutch Oven, great price! January 23, 2007

This is a wonderful dutch oven...I hemed and hawed between the more pricey Lodge Logic (which my other cast iron pans are) and this Bayou Classis...Thrift won out, and I bought this one. I am not disappointed in any way. It was easy to season, and makes an unbeatable pot roast!
Wonderful January 25, 2007

This is one heavy duty cast iron pot! Very heavyweight. The lid holds a good seal to the pot. My only wish is that it came preseasoned. I sure made a smoke filled room occur. And of course, once was not enough to season, so I had to do it again. But overall, great pot.
I love the alligator on the lid March 21, 2007

Pre-seasoned would be easier but twice the price too. To avoid a smoke filled house you can season on the grill but make sure you can control the temp, too much heat and you cook all the seasoning off. As far as performance it does everything a big heavy pot is supposed to do. The basket is funtional for deep frying but not steaming. Nice piece of cookware.
