(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) The dutch oven has been superb in keeping the heat and cooking to perfection

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’m in receipt of the cast iron Dutch oven as a tester for Napoleon, here are my thoughts after using it for the first time at Thanksgiving. (Yes I know you’re thinking what a risk 😱), nope couldn’t have been any better. I did a duck cassoulet with it and it couldn’t have worked any better, the skin came super crispy and the duck very moist after being covered with the lid for 90 minutes. I’d say the only “wish” would be that if all cast iron would come pre-seasoned, it would save time on the end users time and allow immediate use of the products.

(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) We received this product for free as members of the tester team. The size and weight of this pot are impressive—it's made of heavy cast iron with a lid, perfect for grilling (I’m thinking shrimp and vegetables). It retains heat exceptionally well and is large enough for big batches (we made a big pot of chili con carne). It works perfectly on the BBQ and in the oven! The pot and lid are very stable and well-made. I would love to see the same product with handles because, when filled with food, it gets quite heavy. Handles would make it much easier to stir and carry. It’s also easy to clean—nothing sticks at all. However, when drying it with a towel, it tends to catch all the lint from the towel. Next time, I’ll pat it dry and let it finish drying by heating it in the oven. Overall, it’s a great product that we’ll use again and again!

(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) I received the Napoleon Dutch Oven for free as part of the testing program. However, this is my honest feedback on my experience with the product. It was really solid which is great but that also means its heavy. It gets even heavier once its loaded up with ingredients. I did notice it was difficult to move in and out of an oven using the side arms as they are bit on the small side. The wire hanger is not practical when using in ovens where you are sliding it in and out rather than dropping it in. Performance was impressive as it did an amazing job on making melt in your mouth brisket roast. Relatively easy one pot meal that looks like it came from a restaurant. Looking forward to using it on my 825 once the weather improves.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] First time I’ve used any cast iron and it was incredible. I cooked a coq au vin and the chicken was so tender and juicey. The cleaning was incredibly easy and I can’t wait to make more recipes with it!
