Tefal Lov Cast Iron Green Lichen Stewpot w/Lid 25cm/5L

This is a wonderful addition to any home cook's kitchen. The terracotta colour is aesthetically beautiful and has a rustic feel. The pot is heavy, which is to be expected with cast iron, so I would recommend having someone else to help get it out the oven when the cooking is done! Cooked my hearty stew recipe beautifully and it's a nice size to fit in the oven without having to move shelves around. Stayed warm out the oven for a while which is nice for going back and grabbing leftovers! Cleaned so easily after use. The ceramic coating might divide fans of cast iron cookware as I think this may prevent the beneficial iron leaching? But personally I can't fault it!

Quality pot from cooking to style. Very heavy, but enhances flavour with reduced attention required. French onion soup normally requires constant attention stirring the onions until caramelisation. With this incredible pot you can put the lid on and let the onions cook and only stir occassionally until they begin to caramelise. I was over the moon! The end result was the best french onion soup, packed full of flavour. The pan deglazed perfectly, which increased flavour and simplified the clean up process. The pan was cleaned back to looking perfectly new in less than 5 minutes. The pan is very heavy, which is a pro and a con. You need to be prepared for the weight of the lid when dealing with a hot pot, but it is worth it for the result. Amazing!

I’m delighted with this cast iron stew pot. It’s very sturdy and holds a lot. I’ve used it on the hob and in the oven and was pleased with the outcome of my dishes. It has a good non stick coating, so the orzo dish I baked in the oven didn’t come out all stuck to the bottom (a problem I’ve had in the past). The handles are flush with the top of the pot, so look nice and tidy and they are comfortable to hold while handling and moving the pot. It was very easy to clean when doing the washing up.The only criticism I have is that I didn’t particularly like the colour of the pot. It’s a light terracotta colour, but this is really only down to personal preference. Otherwise I found this to be a fantastic product and would definitely recommend this to others.
