Dutch oven review
review after using the Dutch oven a few weeks
The Smithey Dutch oven is non-enameled and naturally seasoned with a pure grape-seed oil. While great for breads, soups, stews and more- boiling pasta or water is not the best use of your Smithey Dutch oven.
A well-seasoned Smithey does not fear any acidic dishes. Before diving into chili and tomato sauces however, we recommend establishing a more mature seasoning layer through baking or frying.
No, currently the 3.5QT lid only fits our 3.5QT Dutch oven.

Wife absolutely loves it the smooth interior and keeping it seasoned is easy to do
Bought this as a sidekick to the 7.25 Qt Dutch Oven. This one feels much lighter and is easier to manage for clean up and daily use. Cooked a butternut squash soup in it first and some seasoning came off as I expected but I cleaned it up and added a few more coats of seasoning to it and it brought the inside of the DO back to life and it looks beautiful. You can do a lot with this size and if you're cooking for fewer people I think this works great.
Have a few large Dutch ovens , needed one smaller for side dishes or casserole for two. This is a great size, cooks well , easy clean up. Perfect
I'm a sucker for smithy's design of cast iron cookware and this Dutch oven is no different. As someone who is very particular about the tools he cooks with. Smithy is quickly becoming a staple in my kitchen. As I hardly use anything else. Do yourself a favor and grab one.
