  • Good gap to grip knob on lid, when using an oven mitt.
  • Features spikes inside the lid, this may help with self basting when roasting meats.
  • Black interior hides the staining caused by baking and roasting.
Bad points

Bad Points

  • Possible that threading of knob on lid may wear over time, causing knob to become loose.
  • Moderate wear and tear of pot rim and lid edge after durability testing.
  • Some grooves and crevices on the inside of the lid can be difficult to clean.
  • Metal lid knob becomes hot during cooking.
  • Black interior can also be difficult to determine whether your food is browning in the pan due to the lack of contrast and dark walls.
