EDGING CASTING 2-in-1 Pre-Seasoned Cast Iron Dutch Oven Pot with Skillet Lid Set, 10" Skillet 3QT Pot for Cooking, Baking, Frying and Camping

Needed a Dutch Oven for my first attempt at sourdough. Picked this one up on-sale and it helped to make the first attempt very successful. This oven is on the thinner side for cast iron as compared to some of the other brands that are already in my kitchen arsenal. However, it is very sturdy, has good weight and heats up quickly while retaining that heat for an adequate amount of time. It came pre-seasoned but I washed it and put another thin coat of seed oil on it to make sure it was ready to go. The size was perfect for a 750G dough ball, could definitely fit a larger ball if needed. You can certainly spend a lot of $$ on different brands that are well known but for my use, this does the job nicely and seems like it will last a long time. Looking forward to many years of use. This item is made in China and the instructions for use and care mention nothing about its ability to be heated while empty to 500 degrees but I had no issues getting it up to temp and while the casting seems to be a bit rough, it didn't affect the function. Lid fits great and the silicone handles while an appreciated add to the purchase, can't be secured to the handles and seem like they might be more of a potential hindrance than a benefit.

This 2-in-1 pre-seasoned cast iron Dutch oven with a skillet lid has quickly become one of my favorite pieces of cookware. The quality is excellent right out of the box—sturdy, heavy-duty, and evenly pre-seasoned so it’s ready to use immediately. I love that the lid doubles as a skillet, giving you two functional pans in one compact set. The 5-quart size is perfect for soups, breads, roasts, and one-pot meals, while the skillet lid works beautifully for frying, searing, or even baking. Both pieces heat evenly and hold heat well, whether I’m using them on the stovetop, in the oven, or over a campfire. The dual handles make lifting and maneuvering easier than most cast iron pots I’ve owned. Pros Excellent heat retention and even cooking Comes pre-seasoned and ready to use Lid doubles as a skillet — two pans in one Perfect for indoor cooking or outdoor camping/BBQ Sturdy dual-handle design for easier handling Very versatile for baking bread, frying, roasting, and more Cons Cast iron is heavy (expected for this type of cookware) Needs regular seasoning to maintain the nonstick surface

Heavy duty quality. Extremely durable. The pot comes pre seasoned and was easy to clean. The lid was not seasoned and came with rust. I cleaned and seasoned it and rust was gone. You do not need to worry about toxic coating or enamel that with begin to degrade. Cast iron has been used for decade for cooking.

Boy is this pot heavy!!! It is extremely well crafted. The lid doubles as a skillet. This baby heats up pretty fast and I had it in my oven at 550 degrees for 45 mins. I made bread in it and the taste was unbelievable. This dutch oven is very versatile and can bake either in the oven, on the top stove or on a camp fire with out any problems. I really love this Dutch oven.

Like most newer cast iron cookware, the cooking surface is rough and was not smoothed down prior to seasoning, making cleanup a bit more problematic. To help things along, either by letting carbon build up in the gaps while constantly seasoning the cooking surfaces, pot and lid (if you're using the lid as a frying pan), or sand the cooking surfaces down and re-seasoning the pot and lid. Otherwise, it is good cookware.

I love that this pot can be used as a pan as well, although I mostly use it as a pot. The only enemy to cast iron is rust or a naked toe. So, be careful not to drop it and season it well and it will last you a lifetime and your kids and grandkids too. It’s very durable and heat distribution is phenomenal with cast iron. Definitely worth the money I paid for it.

The EDGING CASTING 2-in-1 Pre-Seasoned Cast Iron Dutch Oven is a kitchen workhorse. From slow-simmered stews to crusty sourdough loaves, it handles it all with ease. The 2-in-1 design is genius—the lid doubles as a skillet, which saves space and adds flexibility. I’ve used the lid for searing steaks and the pot for baking bread, and both performed beautifully. The pre-seasoning is solid right out of the box. I gave it a quick rinse and was cooking within minutes. Heat distribution is even, and it retains warmth like a champ—perfect for low-and-slow cooking. It’s heavy, yes, but that’s the trade-off for durability and performance. Cleanup is simple if you follow cast iron basics: no soap, dry thoroughly, and oil lightly. This piece feels like something I’ll be handing down someday. If you’re looking for a reliable, multi-use cast iron piece that doesn’t break the bank, this one’s a keeper.

When I first started baking sourdough, I used a Lodge Dutch oven with the handle on top. It worked well, but I could only fit two in my oven at a time. Switching to these Edging Dutch ovens was a game changer—I can fit four at once now, which makes my bake days so much more efficient. I also love that the lids double as skillets. The versatility is fantastic, and the overall quality has been great. I couldn’t be happier with these.

a rock solid, great value cast iron combo that does both skillet & dutch oven. I love the versatility of this. I seasoned once before using and it was an excellent performer. abide by the cast iron rules and you will love cooking steak, sausages, bacon with this. highly recommended

Amo este producto especialmente para hacer pan, pero honestamente creo que prefiero las manijas alargadas como de sartén ya que estas son pequeñas y para sacar el pan se vuelven muy pesadas, pero igual me las arreglo

pretty happy with this purchase follow the cast iron rules

EXCELENTE OLLA, MAS DE LO QUE ESPERABA. LA RECOMIENDO AL 100%

there is nothing I dislike. It is not the first one I use, I had them all my life and seen my family cooking in them since I was born. Unbeatable possibilities for cooking, baking, slow cooking, and whatever you decide to do using kitchen ware
