Very heavy and well made Dutch oven. I used Crisbee to season he pan and immediately used it to fry up some bacon and sausage for my homemade beans. No sticing at all. Came completely clean with a little water and a paper towel. We then cooked a cornbread cake in the pan using a tiny amount of bacon fat and the cornbread literally fell out of he pan when I turned it over. I currently have 6 Lodge cast iron pieces and have been more than pleased with their performance. You can't go wrong with this item.
