Mario Batali 4-Quart Essential Pot, Chianti Review

I checked the DHL tracking info while the pot was en route - this 4 qt. cast iron pot ships at 17 lbs. (thank God for free shipping)! I suspected that couldn't be right, but sure enough, this is one heavy hunk of enamel-covered iron, partner. Its lid seems to weigh as much as the pot it sits on. I simply can't imagine Mario Batali's diminutive Italian grandma (well...more diminutive than he at least) hoisting this thing off the stove to put into a high cupboard. Or a low one at that. Imagine that there are bigger sized editions in this line to boot!
Mere heft aside, this is a beautifully-made pot with heirloom substance and I agree that it is the equal of any Le Creuset piece I own or have ever checked out. No wonder Chris Kimball and the staff of Cook's rated this the best buy dutch oven. It's worth what they're asking.

A versatile performer that will be at home in any home, this 4-quart cast iron Essentials Pot in chianti from Mario Batali is large enough to cook pastas and soups as well as roast cornish game hens and smaller cuts of meat. The pot's cast iron core guarantees even heat distribution, so your food won't burn, and it's been given a colorful durable porcelain enamel coating on both the interior and exterior that will resist stains as well as provide easy clean up. Self-basting spikes are featured on the interior of the lid, which ensures constant natural basting. The heavy lid is accented with a cast stainless steel knob, and it's further complemented by two generously sized looped handles on either side. Safe for gas, electric and ceramic-top ranges. Hand wash only.
