(More customer reviews)I am novice cook and I am familiar with using ceramic lined cast iron cookware, in fact I love them if not for their high price. Found this wonderful Braiser at Target that I can substitute as a wok and a skillet! I am willing to look over the difference in red color hue; this is only a tat more red in comparison to my Le Creuset dutch oven to make it a set.
Good thing about cast iron is, you only need to turn up the heat to the maximum of medium! The lid is heavy and does not wobble at boiling temperature. A good sign of a quality product worthy as heirloom pots; to be pass down to next generation, if there is such a label. Overall, a versatile cooking "pot" that is good value for you money. If you are allowed only 1 cooking pot, you won't go wrong with this!
It passed my fried rice test (not a lot of nasty charred rice crust at the bottom) and also passed my meat test. I pan fried a chicken breast with 1 tsp of vegetable oil to a nice golden brown! Stir frying of vegetables is a little trickier though. Unless you like your vegetables a little al dente, then this is good, otherwise the vegetables tend to overcook! I had this Braiser/wok for just 1 week, thus I still need time to fine tune my cooking time for vegetables.
