 A great Dutch Oven in a handy size, and is non-stick! Sep 22, 2009
By A Research It Maven
"Just the facts please"
KittAmore is a part of a Japanese company called "Daikin" and this 8 qt dutch oven is pretty good for the price. Do NOT, however, invest in the "5 qt" size as it is the same pot, except much shorter. This 8 qt has enough height, for instance, to brown meatballs without them splattering all over, but not so much height that would make turning the meatballs difficult. It is a lightweight aluminum pot with an excellent base that heats very quickly. Use only on medium heat! (This is a very hot pan!) It is nonstick (called "Silkware Exceed") inside and out. So no high heat, do not heat the pan dry, and don't use food release spray (like PAM!) NO non stick pan can survive these three things: high heat, heating a dry (empty) pan, or using non stick sprays! (Washing by hand is also recommended.) The lid fits tightly and is vented, and the pan is gently curved inside, not square on the bottom, making stirring a lot easier. Also, when kept covered, the pot keeps the contents nice and warm for a long time, so is great for a buffet or potluck. On the stove the pot heats quickly and evenly, and the (very nice) handles stay cool. In the oven (never more than 350 degrees) the handles get as HOT as the pan. Overall, a good everyday pan that, if treated with respect, should last many years. For $34.99, that ain't bad!
 Good for the stove, but not the oven. Oct 26, 2011

Do not use this in the oven! I recently purchased one of these stock pots used, and I have mixed feelings on its quality. This dutch oven works great for stews, and is excellent for use on the stove-top. I had tried to use it in the oven, however, with the lid still on it. The pot was fine when I took it out, but the lid was in poor shape. The handle on the lid is evidently not intended for use in the oven, a fact that should have been mentioned on the packaging, not to mention the Amazon listing and the manufacturer's website. The handle had melted while in the oven, and nearly broke off after it had cooled. Pots like this are supposed to be made with the capability of sitting in the oven while covered, but I may have to buy a new one after just one use. Don't be fooled by reviews that say that the lid is fine below 350 degrees: my oven was at 325.
Not a good lid Sep 04, 2010
By Ryn
It seems like the pot itself would do okay in cooking, but the lid is not tightly fitting at all. I took it out of the box it came in to see how it would fit right away-- the lid looks warped, which seems like it'd be hard to do in shipping, considering it's glass with a metal rim. I will likely return it; I didn't think it would be like this, given the 5 star review. Looks like it's luck of the draw.

This is super thin and easily bent, especially the lid. It is fine for what I need but if you expect long standing, good quality then keep looking.
