lower quality casting but very functional. reseason is a must. good purchase otherwise
Size: 2-Quart
this was an amazon primeday impulse buy. initially when reading the reviews i was skeptical of its quality at all and attempted to cancel but i could not(too late). i figured it wasnt the end of the world when it showed up as i only payed 20$ on sale for it.
well, it turns out thats a steal of a deal for this pot. when i opened the package i checked it all over with a magnet. who knows it could be lower quality pot metal but its definitely ferrous material.
the season on it is real, like what you find on a lodge pan but not done well, it was sticky. so i boiled a pot of water and scrubbed the lid and pot insides with a scour pad to remove most of it. it looks exactly like youd expect cast iron to look and it has a smell reminescent of a deseasoned wet cast pan. so i trust it. my version should be 2qt, i do not know if they make larger versions.
i trust it to work in the future and it seems like itll make great stews and soups. possibly even a good camp pot if youre into carrying cast iron with you. its not massive and its not overly heavy at maybe 3 lbs.
it was a good buy and im happy with it. plan to add a bail so i can use it for camping as well as kitchen use.
in conclusion its a lower quality casting but still very functional. it must be reseasoned to be useful but for the price i almost expect it. most cast iron cookware are not made to the spec they used to be and thus require love from the owner to really work well.
