Bought this to smoke my first turkey for Thanksgiving .I did a trial 13lb turkey. It fit perfectly and turned out great. For thanksgiving I did a 17.5 turkey, it fit a little snug but turned out great was able to baste easily. Would recommend can't wait to try other recipes.

It’s pretty well seasoned out of the box, but it could use another round or two in my oven. The weight is good, and the finish isn’t too rough and gritty like some cheap cast iron.Fantastic for the price I paid, $65 on sale. I look forward to lots of baking and braising in my future with this!

I purchased this after sending another oval Dutch oven back. This one is plenty big enough for a longer loaf of sourdough. I love baking the bread in cast iron rather than the enameled variety. The Dutch oven is heavy, as all good cast iron is. I did decide to season it (although it says that is not necessary) and would recommend that to anyone purchasing. Overall, great product!

I make a lot of sourdough and prefer cooking in cast iron. While my standard Lodge works great for boules, my batards struggled to fit, so I started considering spending way too much on a Challenger ($299). But then, I found this Pit Boss roaster for just $55 on sale and figured it was at least worth a shot.It's now the primary vessel I use for baking my sourdough. I place it in the oven upside down, so that loaf gets placed on the inside of the lid after preheating, then the actual pan goes over that for the first 25 minutes, after which I remove the pan and let the loaf bake uncovered for 10 minutes.Excellent product, couldn't be happier with it!$55

I bought this roaster because I needed something to bake sourdough boules and other loaves in. When my wife saw it, she commented on how nice it looked. I am using it to put a 1.25 lb loaf pan in to contain the bread for a steam environment, and it fits really well. I almost ordered the 1.5 lb loaf pan, and think it would probably be too big for this pan to allow enough head space.It is quite heavy, but that is to be expected. So far, it has been a really good purchase.

I wanted an oblong cast iron pan for baking batard sourdough bread loafs. This was perfect.While it arrived pre-seasoned I did apply a seasoning blend of beeswax, flaxseed oil and coconut oil. It seasoned perfectly. I baked my first loaf this morning and I’m thrilled with the results.This will also work wonderfully for making roasts. The cover fits very well on my cast stove to use as a griddle.It’s a very versatile cast iron piece that will last generations. Worth the investment as this piece is very reasonably priced.Like all good cast iron pieces, this is heavy.

Good quality, heavy duty. My first use was using the lid as a griddle to bake some stuff at a fairly high temperature. Worked well, but in dealing with a bit of burnt-on residue with a plastic scrubber, not bearing down particularly hard, the seasoning rubbed off, exposing bare metal. Re-seasoned the lid & roaster. It's performed well since. I couldn't be happier with its performance once it was properly seasoned.

Me encanta como hornea, sin embargo elPoderla abrir en elHorneado es todo un reto, el diseño de las agarraderas es malÃsimo y se dificulta poniendo en riesgo de un accidente
