I bought the seven quart blue dutch oven almost five years ago, and I use it a couple of times a month.
It’s been great, with no scratching or chipping. I use it for braising beef or pork, mostly. After its time in the oven I often put it on a burner and make gravy with it, often putting the stick blender to it.
Have had my Cuisinart 7 qt. round for almost 10 years and use it regularly. Looks like new outside, some slight staining inside. Used heavily for making “no-knead” bread. It’s ready out-of-the-box to be used in a 500° oven for the bread. Excellent quality & value, recommend highly!
Ditto on the excellent reviews for the 7 qt!!
I use it for bread and stews and it is wonderful. Just can’t stomach the price of the French one!!
It is big and heavy, but when you’re making a big pot of green chile - or a pot roast - you need this size!
And a little bit of Bon Ami or Bartenders Friend gets the stains out, I find.
Not sure if you are being serious or not. Enameled cast iron cannot be seasoned, as the exposed iron is already bonded to the coating. You do have to season the edges where there is exposed cast iron, but that is so it doesn’t rust and maintains the heat transfer from the pot to the lid. Neither cast iron nor enamel are good heat conductors, they are good heat sinks. Preheat these things for a long time and you’d be surprised at how stable the temperature can be even off of heat.
Cast iron works great on induction cooktops. I use my cuisinart cast iron pots on my induction cooktop all the time. Induction is perfect for these pots.
Good cookware… assuming it arrives intact. My enameled casserole arrived with a bunch of the enamel chipped away, and a face-off between Woot and Cuisinart over replacing it. Others have also had the replacement item arrive chipped, too (and had to pay for the shipping each time).
