I recently purchased this cast iron casserole and absolutely love it! It washes up nicely without soap, as the manufacturer recommends. I make one pot dinners in it, and there is no burning or scorching. The handles are a good size to grip easily, and the knob on the lid is easy to grip also especially with arthritic hands! I plan to purchase one for my daughter because she also thought this is awesome cookware.

Good looking, good cooking casserole. Perfect for chicken and a small duck. Easy cleaning. Best for the price (comparing to another “cast iron” brands)

A nice style and colorful addition to the kitchen but if I would have know that the handles on the lids were not oven safe over 350 degrees I probably would not have purchased the item. I also purchased the smaller cast iron 3. 5 qt pot.

First use handle breaks. Quite dangerous actually. The didn’t just make up “you get you pay for. ”

These “made in China” casseroles are pretty, and similar to Le Creuset or Mario Batali’s casseroles in appearance, enamel over cast iron, however people are noticing the enamel does not stand up well to heat, and it cracks. (See reviews on “Rachael Ray 3-1/2-Quart Cast-Iron Covered Round Casserole, Blue”, and talk with people who handle returns at your dept. store. )
Additionally, the casserole has a cheap phenolic (plastic) handle on the top cover, which the manual says are “oven safe” ONLY up to 350 F temperature. This makes no sense, when recipes may call for 350-400 degree temperatures! A 350 degree handle is just as hot to the touch, be it made of cheap plastic or cast iron. Cast iron can take the heat to 500 degrees, Batali’s handles are good to 500 degrees, Le Creuset’s handles are good to 450 degrees, Rachael’s cheap plastic handle will be melted slime, long before then at just 350 degrees!
Quite a few bakers know that oven temps may vary from 50-75 degrees from what is “set”, at times! While using plastic handles saves a small expense for Rachael, it may limit oven temp setting to 300-325 for some, to put in a margin of safety, to avoid lid handle meltdown. It just gives one more thing to worry about while cooking-to not let the handle melt into a puddle of goo.
Rachael, get better quality control with the next batch, and please give matching cast iron handles instead of cheap plastic, and make it easy on customers!
