MasterPan 4 Quart Non-Stick Cast Aluminum Dutch Oven Casserole Stockpot 11", Blue

Nice size, even heat and much lighter than cast iron, a big plus for me; I dislike heavy pots. It also is really “non-stick,” which is great, and clean-up is a breeze. So why complain? Those darn handles get red hot fast and stick out...good for grabbing with mitts, but can easily burn your arm. Just a word of caution if you tend to grab before you think as I so often do.

I was so excited to receive this MasterPan 4 Quart Non-Stick Cast Aluminum Dutch Oven Casserole Stockpot 11". The very first time I used this to make a family favorite bean soup - please note that ONLY a silicon "spoonula" was ever used inside this pot. Although I didn't notice it until I dished up a bowl of the soup, black flakes were floating in it. I put the soup with the flakes into another container and saw shiny metal spots throughout the pot where the coating had flaked off the sides, bottom and even the lid of the pot. I was so angry that I had spent so much money on a defective product that I couldn't respond with anything polite or socially acceptable to say. I started to take pictures but was so angry I stopped and simply threw the MasterPan 4 Quart Non-Stick Cast Aluminum Dutch Oven Casserole Stockpott into the trash. Caveat emptor -> "Let the buyer beware"!!!

I did not burn anything nor did I ever use metal utensils or steel wool on the pan. I have have several other pans with nonstick surfaces that have lasted over a decade. I have no idea what is up with this one. I initially loved the pan but now I wish I had chosen a different brand. It is though cooking spaghetti sauce or something acidic ate through the coating and started to corrode the pan. That should not happen with a pan that is safe to cook in. Everything I have cooked has been safe to eat so acids and bases would have to be in a range that is not poisonous or extreme.

Great product. You aren’t going to find a 7qt enameled Dutch Oven for anywhere near this price anywhere and in my opinion it’s just as good as the Lodge Enameled Dutch Oven for a fraction of the cost. Particularly nice is that it has a metal knob on the lid so it can go right into the oven. (Granted most do, but for some reason there are a few that have plastic knobs... not sure why anyone would want that.)

Although very lightweight (I'm used to using heavy cast iron) this is a substantial and versatile pan. Its enamel coating is thin but able to withstand daily use without a knick or chip. I like the design and color so much that it never leaves my stovetop.

This is so light and easy to carry from stove to table. The color is lovely. I have been using it for a couple weeks now, heat is distributed evenly, very easy to clean. I hope they expand their products!!

My moms been looking for one of these. Her last one she bought was in 2013!! And she loves this one. Gets the job done FORGOT THE BIGGEST FLAW THE HANDLES AND THE LID THING GET SO HOT YIKES NVM LOOK FOR ANOTHER

I've been needing a new Dutch oven for a while. Love this one. Lovely color, super easy to clean, very even heat. I have to remember that the handles do get hot!

Great pan, hope that you will make a bigger ones... 8 Quart would be perfect for me but would buy a 7 Quart as well. It's a great product, highly recommend

A good multifunctional pot for use on the stove to and in the oven. It retains heat well and is non stick.

Very nice

I bought this to make bread but I use it to cook everything. The shape is perfect for cooking pasta and vegetables and it looks great

Increíble, fácil de usar, limpiar y el color es bellísimo
