Try TJ Maxx first, but great pot!
5 Stars
Try TJ Maxx first, but great pot!
I found this Dutch oven at an Oregon TJ Maxx in 2017. It quickly became one of my favorites. Bought it then for $39.99. TJ Maxx/HomeGoods still has them floating around for the same price. This is a great pot for searing, long cooks, one-pot meals etc. Disclaimer: the lid isn’t snug fit like a heavy French cocotte, but that’s another level, and hasn’t affected my expectations from this pot. I found another one this week and grabbed it, same price, $39.99. Worth a look! Either way, I highly recommend this pot. Also, a remedy for the picture review claiming stains. Use ‘Barkeeper’s Friend’ cleanser, or BonAmi to a lesser degree. It’ll keep this pot or any SS cookware spotless, even on very old stains.
Thank you for your feedback
