Rating: - Lifetime of enjoyment ahead
I believe this is the the best size dutch oven for anyone.It's perfect for a medium roast with veggies, soups or stews, etc.Very easy to clean.This pot is approx. 10 1/2 inches across the top opening and 4 1/2 inches deep. Not to big -- not too small.You'll be grabbing this pot for almost everything you do.
