I never had a dutch oven before and now I don't know how I lived without it. I use it stovetop to make my tomato sauce, in the oven to make brisket, etc.It's a perfect size for my family dinners. The cleanup on the pot is so easy. Even after baking in the oven for hours, I could just wipe out the inside and it would be clean. Using the mitts are essential though, it gets very hot.Best Deals for All-Clad Cast Aluminum 5-1/2-Quart Dutch Oven with Two Oven Mitts
I have many All-Clad products including a set of the original anodized aluminum over stainless steel that is still in very good shape. Quality is usually extraordinary.This Dutch Oven cooks evenly and heats up quickly. Purchasers should realize that it has integral aluminum handles that heat up which means that you must use the included oven mitts.
This is the only non-stick pot that I own (which is why I purchased it). The coating is inside and outside for easy cleaning. I loved it for three months. Then I noticed a very small area on the inside bottom where the non-stick coating had worn off. Three months later and the worn area is spreading like a rash. This in spite of the fact that I have been exceptionally careful. No metal has ever been anywhere near the inside of the pot (only nylon utensils) and I have cleaned this exclusively with a sponge. No harsh cleansers.
This is disappointing because it is such a great pot, particularly for the money.
