[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This thing is tiny tiny, perfect for a small portion for 1 person, but not much else. The material was much lighter weight than I anticipated. It is cute though and good if you're single or cooking for a child
Nice but so tiny

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was a little unsure on what to make in it due to the tiny size. I make a mini omlet. It cooked it evely.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] There's not much you can do with a pot this small. I was able to make some scrambled eggs in it. Although its extremely small and seems rather impractical it did cook very well.
Concerned About Safety of Cast Aluminum

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been trying to replace my cookware with safe, non-toxic options and I'm just not sure about the safety of this product. I've read articles about aluminum leaching into foods, which can happen especially with leafy greens and acidic foods. As a vegetarian, that's mainly what I cook so it makes me not want to reach for this pan. The pan is also quite small so maybe not the most practical for anything I specifically would cook. I received this product for free in exchange for my honest review.
Imusa is a great product

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I made a single serving of rice in the Imusa 0.5qt caldero. The rice came out amazing and did not stick. This caldero is perfect if you just want to make a serving of anything for yourself. I would recommend a 1000%.. Thank you bzz agent
Great for 1 person cooking!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I first used this Calderon to hear up some soup on my stove top. It was so fast, and evenly heated through. I then used it to cook a small portion of rice and again, very fast and very even. This would be an amazing pot to have it you live alone and cook 1 person meals. It cleans up and seasons easily. I would love to get a big pot so I can cook for my family of 6 in it as well! Love this so much more than Teflon coated pots that aren't good for you!
Is not for me

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really liked the Imusa cauldron, its size is so cute and it comes with a lid and it looks like it is durable, but what I didn't like at all is that the food sticks even if it has oil.
Very small so can only make small dishes such as sauces.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this 0.5Qt Caldero (14cm) for free in exchange for an honest review. While it does the job for very small cooking tasks, the size is quite limited and best suited for single portions or small sides. One issue I noticed is the texture of the metal. The finish isn't smooth; it feels like it hasn't been properly filed or sanded, making it a little rough on the hands. This could be improved for better comfort and usability. Overall, it's functional but has some room for improvement, especially in the finish quality and its practicality due to the small size.
This was so fun. But it is smaller than I was expecting.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really do like this pot. It's great for making a single serving of food. Only down side is it was kinda hard to take the stickers off.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This pot was quite small but the bigger pan I use for day to day use. It cooks rice and beans perfectly.
It's just too small

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] While I get the idea behind this pot, I received the 0.5qt size and it's just too small for me to cook it. I think it would make for a cute presentation of a small dish, but I could never effectively cook inside a pot so tiny. I did use it to cook the remaining wax I had in a candle and that worked out very well.
Great product, just a little small

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Imusa sent me this 14cm little pan as a free sample through Bzzagent. I received the pan and used it for beans and other small items like eggs and sausage. This size pan is quite small. It works good for one person serving size. It's nice to use and not make a large pan dirty when you only need a small pan. It also came with a lid. Fits well, and the handle stays cool to touch while the pan is hot on the stove.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This product was a little too small for my needs. I am only a family of two but found that the amount of food I wanted to cook in it didn't fit comfortably in the caldero. I also had concerns about the quality of the cast-iron aluminum. I prefer using my enamel coated dutch oven for cooking.
So far I love it

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this little caldero (dutch oven). It is small so I basically use it to warm up food or cook smaller portions of rice. There is no burning with this caldero. Its easy to clean also since nothing sticks. I hope to get the bigger sizes soon.
Not impressed

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This item was okay but I was not overly impressed. The size was nice for a single egg. But unfortunately my egg stuck and was hard to clean. Great on size but not on cleaning.
Wasn't impressed

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I decided to warm up some rice in this. My friend uses one to make rice all the time but I didn't care for it. It stuck to the pan really easily and made it hard to move around. Plus this pan in particular was very small. Perhaps if it was bigger, it would've been easier to work with.
Loved it

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When this pot arrived it was much smaller than I expected. I should have looked into what size would better suit me. The edges are a little rough and the label was hard to remove. I decided to try it two ways. First on the stove top and made a cheese dip for friends and served on a tray with other items and it worked pretty well but hard to mix when making as small. Next i decided to make a dish for the oven. Cooked well and did not burn, although for one it was too much work. I like left overs so I don't cook every day. I was given this product to try in return for a review. If this is the size you need I recommend for me. I don't get what to do with one so small and wish I had more or a bigger one.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This pot was extremely small. I'm not sure what could even be cooked in it. I was able to boil 1 egg in it barely because the water was rising too high. The pot handles were so hot since they are metal. The Inner part of the handles were razor sharp. The label on the pot was hard to take off and left paper and glue . I would not purchase this mainly because the handles were so hot.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It's made of silver matte lightweight aluminum which is perfect because it was able to handle the perfect heat temperature to make my arroz gandules it better than my other pots. Where I lived I couldn't find a store that sold it for the price I found it online and it was a great price for the item! The actual handles are metal and everything is casted of one piece so it's durable and you won't have to worry about the handles breaking off. Just use pot holders and be more careful.
