I took it camping and it performed well. Holds heat and allows you to cook low and slow. I did a stew and even managed to cook bannock bread in it.

I love this dutch oven. This is actually my second one. I used both last night to cook using charcoal and they work perfect. I have read some reviews that say these ovens are more likely to have hot spots, but I have not experienced that. They cook just as well as any cast iron oven I have used in the past. I love how light they are and the fact that you can wash them. Being aluminum, you won't have to worry about rust. No hesitation recommending this oven.

Honest reviews on GSI Outdoors 12-Inch Aluminum Dutch Oven (Silver, 5-Quart)

I've owned a few cast iron black pots for years, and I researched this particular item off and on during that time. I finally decided to buy this in order to lessen the burden of handling heavy equipment during some outings. What I really wanted to buy but haven't seen the offer for a while (I should've jumped on it back then) was the combo of the 12" and nested 10" set for just a few bucks more than what I paid for this one. It was a GSI item as well. Nevertheless, I found this item to be exactly what I expected. The price isn't bad either considering the impact of inflation over the years when I hesitated. Needless to say, Amazon's free shipping always adds value to an online purchase. The delivery was timely and the product was in great condition. (Sometimes with careless handling, cast metal pots get damaged and have to be returned). I cooked in it a couple of times already and all went well. Of course, the user has to keep in mind about the cooking charactistics of a cast aluminum pot versus a cast iron pot in order to accommodate a good experience.
