I have always wanted a Dutch oven, so when I saw this cobalt blue one I just knew I had to buy it. Can’t wait to try it out. I have a few recipes I love. The larger size means I can use it for entertaining meals

Love this Dutch oven, it’s beautiful and it fits large quantities of soup. Love that it goes from oven to table. It’s lightweight too.

Love this Dutch Oven. I’ve wanted one for so long and it’s so beautiful and light. I’ve already used it for some delicious soups and it’s great that it can go in the oven. It cleans so easily. Bought one for me and one for my daughter. Beautiful heirloom quality.

Excellent Dutch oven very light & sturdy. Worth it

I won't have a chance to use this cookware for a while, but it is stunning and sturdy. I expect that it will stand the test of time

Nice and big. A little on the heavy side but still like it. Cleans up nice.

I love everything about this pan. I thought the price was great. The way that it cooks is exceptional, and the lighter weight is a nice treat. I would highly recommend this product to anyone that has an interest. My Wife was even taken by the light blue color. She’s remarked a few times, “What a pretty Dutch oven.”

This Dutch oven is beautiful and of superior quality. It is the perfect size whether cooking for 1-2 or a family.

I very much like this dutch oven. The color is lovely. My soups simmer nicely and washing it has been easy. The weight is very nice: heavy enough to feel substantial but light enough to carry and pull off the shelf. I have no regrets. I also have the red colored one. That is also a very cheery color. I did notice a small chip in the lid of the red one ....and I suppose this trend will continue in both pots. Doesn't bother me. I have a few wrinkles and dings too.

Before onions saute, the bottom starts burning, then when you put the lid on for the stew to cook, the steam goes around the lid and starts dripping around to the point that I had to pick up the lid drain the water accumulated many times or it dripped to the gas light and put off the flame under.

Was just looking at a smaller Dutch Oven, and came across M&S. Did some research and noticed that they are older than Le Creuset, and than MANY of the reviews were extremely positive. So I pulled the trigger and could not be happier! I love the fact that it is lighter but I do not loose any of the cooking ability from a heavier pot. I forsee MANY more stews and soups coming from my dutch oven in the future!

Love this pot. Bought to begin making bread, but used to roast a chicken and make a pasta dish. This will be a go-to for on the stove and in the oven. Cleans so easily. Love this!

This was I was looking for and first use was good. Only reason for 4 stars is that after I washed it and put it out to dry some more I found a piece of the white coating lying in the bottom of the pan. Looking around I see a spot on the rim that’s missing a piece. Shouldn’t be an issue so long as I dry it by hand immediately after washing. That should keep the chance of rush forming down. Otherwise happy with my purchase.

I love this dutch oven! It's beautiful and cooks perfectly.

I had been looking for a good quality dutch oven but I couldn't handle the weight of many of them. I am happy to say that this dutch oven is not too heavy for me at all and I am over 65 years old and have arthritis. It is top quality and beautiful. I love the cobalt blue color. The price was more affordable than some other brands.

This dutch oven is not only beautiful. Its lighter weight is absolutely perfect for me; it heats up very quickly, evenly and cleans up easily. Anything that I have made in this pot turns out absolutely perfectly.

love the size and color, and have always wanted a dutch oven. however, they have become too heavy and cumbersome to work with, and was tempted to try this less heavy version. while not light, it seems to work well and i am pleased to own it.
