First purchase had a flaw (lid did not fit tightly) but the replacement (sent without hassle) has been great. Very heavy. Bakes well, but mostly use it for large pots of soup. Slight cuts in the enamel interior after 2.5 years. Never use a knife, so not sure how that happened but Overall: love it and happy I have no room in my cupboards to store it so that I can see how pretty it is everyday sitting on my toaster oven.
