MÜELLERHOME 6 Quart Enameled Cast Iron Pot Dutch Oven, Heavy-Duty Oven-Safe up to 500° F, & Across All Cooktops, Casserole Dishes for Ovens, Bread Pan with Lid and Knob, Cast Iron Cookware, Black

Found a better price locally and returned the item to AMAzon. But the product is wonderful. This Dutch oven has completely earned a permanent spot on my stovetop. The thyme green color is gorgeous in person – deep and saturated without being loud – and it genuinely looks like a high‑end piece of cookware that doubles as decor. The enamel is smooth and glossy, inside and out, so it cleans up far more easily than raw cast iron while still giving you all that heavy, even heat. For sourdough, this pot shines. The 7.5‑quart capacity gives the dough plenty of room to spring without hitting the lid, and the heavy walls hold heat beautifully so you get that coveted crackly crust and soft, open crumb. Preheating the pot and lid gives a great burst of steam, and the loaf releases cleanly from the enamel with just a light dusting of flour or parchment. It feels like bakery‑quality bread with almost zero fuss once you have your recipe down. Beyond bread, it is the kind of all‑purpose piece that can handle just about anything. Braises come out meltingly tender, stews and chili simmer without scorching, and the weight of the pot means nothing sloshes when you stir. It transitions flawlessly from stovetop to oven, and being rated up to 500°F gives plenty of headroom for no‑knead bread, high‑heat roasting, or finishing dishes under the broiler. The handles are generous enough to grab with oven mitts, and the lid sits snugly to trap moisture and flavor. What stands out most is how solid and well‑balanced it feels for the price. The base sits flat on the burner, it works across different cooktops, and the enamel has held up nicely without staining or chipping with normal, respectful use. It is heavy in the way good cast iron should be, but still manageable to lift in and out of the oven. If you want a beautiful, go‑to Dutch oven for sourdough baking and everyday cooking that looks like it belongs in a high‑end kitchen, this Mueller piece is an easy one to rave about.

I absolutely love Mueller products. I love this Dutch Oven. It cleans up very well, but it is heavy like most enamel cook where is. I don’t put it in the dishwasher simply because in the event that I don’t empty the dishwasher right away, I don’t want the tiny bit of cast-iron to rust- although it’s easy to keep nice when you oil it after washing. I’ll just take a piece of paper towel and put a spot of oil on it and rub it around the rim of the lid and the pot. I have the black one and I love it.

I purchased this Dutch oven for my son who is a chef. This thing has held up well and cooks anything you put in it very evenly. It is heavy to carry but that's to be expected. Easy to wash and has not had any paint chip off or discoloration in the 13 months we have been using it. It holds a ton of food! Absolutely love this thing!

I have no clue why I have been obsessed with these Dutch ovens but here we are. I have shopped and studied all brands, read reviews, waited on sales, etc. Now, I was ready to pull the trigger on that “expensive” brand just to have one, if my MIL didn’t score one at Goodwill. And not 1 ounce of evidence that I read where it was better. So I landed on Mueller in black and she is my kitchen trophy. She’s heavy, but just finished the best roast cooked low and slow and melted in your mouth. Cleans like butter and love the rubber cleats for lid storage and protection.

I have used it twice already and just received it day before yesterday…once on stove top and once in oven. Both times everything came out great!! One pot to clean. It’s wonderful!!
