MUELLER HOME 7.5 QT Enameled Cast Iron Dutch Oven, Heavy-Duty Casserole Dish and Braiser Pan with Lid and Stainless Knob, Oven-Safe up to 500° F & Across All Cooktops, Aqua Blue

I’ve wanted a larger cast iron enamel Dutch oven for many years and I finally bought it. I used it to make chili the other night and it worked beautifully. Nothing burned at all. Very easy to lift, but not so light that you would think it’s cheaply made. The lit itself fits on the pot excellently I did hand wash and dry this. I do realize it says it can’t go in the dishwasher, but I don’t know why anybody would want to put it in the dishwasher and it cleaned beautifully I also am very appreciative of the little rubber bumpers that you put on the pot itself so when you put the lid on to store it, it doesn’t bang against it. It’s great. I haven’t had it long enough to say whether or not it’s going to rust or not but as long as I wash it and immediately dry it and take good care of it, it shouldn’t. I have to say I did a lot of research on which Dutch oven to get. I knew I wasn’t gonna get the really expensive ones cause I just can’t justify that in my head. I’m not that great of a cook. But this one consistently had really good ratings nothing is perfect of course but they had good ratings and the fact that the last name was Mueller definitely sold me on it. What can I say? My husband got a kick out of it and said wouldn’t it be a hoot if we were actually related but chances are we not.

The Ultimate Kitchen Workhorse I’ve been a home cook for over 10 years, and I’ve always wanted the "big name" French brands, but I couldn't justify the $400 price tag. After researching, I landed on this Mueller 6-Quart Dutch Oven, and honestly? It’s indistinguishable in performance. Why This Wins for Home Cooks: • Superior Heat Retention: This thing is heavy-duty (in a good way). The cast iron holds heat beautifully. I’ve used it for 450°F sourdough baking, and the crust comes out perfectly shattered and golden every time. • High-Quality Enamel: I was worried about chipping or staining, especially with tomato-based sauces. After several slow-cooked bolognese sessions, the white interior is still pristine. It’s naturally non-stick and cleans up with just warm soapy water—no scrubbing needed. • The Perfect Size (6qt): This is the "Goldilocks" size. It’s large enough to roast a whole 5lb chicken or make a massive batch of chili for meal prep, but it’s not so big that it’s impossible to lift or store. • Stovetop to Oven: The transition is seamless. The lid fits tightly, which is crucial for moisture retention (no dried-out pot roasts here!). Performance Details: • Handles: The side handles are wide enough to use with thick oven mitts—a small but vital safety feature when dealing with 15+ lbs of hot iron. • Versatility: I’ve used it on my glass top stove, gas range, and in the oven. It performs consistently across all surfaces. Pros: • Even heat distribution (no "hot spots" when searing meat). • Beautiful finish—looks stunning sitting on the stovetop. • Tight-fitting lid keeps the "self-basting" cycle going. Cons: • It is heavy! (But that’s exactly what you want in real cast iron for thermal mass). Just be prepared if you have wrist issues. Final Verdict: If you are into bread baking, slow cooking, or braising, this is the best investment you can make for your kitchen. Mueller really nailed the balance of "Professional Grade" and "Affordable Price.

Love it. Perfect size for a ham or a stew. Has become my wife's favorite pot. Easy to clean and a good price compared to a fancier name at a bit box store.

Best quality cookware! My roast, lamb, and any other meats are so tender! You don't have to use high heat to cook - once the dish gets hot, it holds the heat for a nice slow cook! it is easy to clean as well! This is the perfect size if you are cooking for a large family or even meal prepping for yourself. Of course, I love my cobalt blue!

Very high quality! Beautiful color and solidly built. Doesn’t stain and is chip resistant. Non-stick and lid fits tightly. We use this for everything - stews, soups, cassoulet etc

Cooks as good as the top tier name brands cast iron cookers, clean-up is easy ;material quality is exceptional. I have cooked, soups, vegetables and meat in this pot and everything always turns out perfect. I never put it under the cabinet cause I use it daily.

This was a Christmas gift. It’s my first time owning a Dutch oven. I loved the color, and love that food doesn’t seem to stick on the interior. The little handle holders were a bonus too. I wanted to give this a five star review, however after hand washing it, I realized the handle had chipped in two places. This was only my second time using it. The rim also seems like some wear is forming there. It’s a decent oven so far but I’m not sure about how it’ll last long term.

Great product. Easy to use and clean. Great price

The best sourdough bread I’ve ever made was my first attempt in this new Dutch oven! I love it!

Im so happy with this purchase, the color is beautiful and a great pot

Es un producto EXCELENTE

This is exactly as described. I really did my research before buying it. At the time it was on sale at a great price compared to others. I looked at all the well known and expensive Dutch Ovens but surprisingly this one had better reviews in which more people were happy with their purchase. I haven’t had chance to use it yet but the quality is excellent. Having read a helpful review by a previous buyer I did purchase the Lodge pot protectors for $6.33 here on Amazon. They fit and are a great idea since it will help to vent the pot when it’s been cleaned and stored. The actual enamel looks great and the outer red colour is perfect. It is heavy but that’s to be expected. I’m really happy I ordered it and I’m looking forward to using it for many years to come.

Feels better quality than I expected. Got as a gift so unsure if it will stand the test of time.
