Average Rating:

Rating: - A Good Value @ $12, but size limits utility usage; recommend only for 2-person household
Nice product; 1-quart heavy cast iron with enamel coating makes for a solid cooking vessel for 2-3 people. Seasoning not required and cleanup is a breeze. Perfect for a small meatloaf, breadpan, or thin 2-layer lasagna. Makes a nice serving dish, as well. The product is easily recommended at the price I paid ($12 and change), but I be hard press to pay the full advertised price of $39.99.
