Rust! Poor Quality.
This was purchased for me to encourage my growing love for cooking. I bought a Le Creuset Enameled Cast-Iron 5-1/2-Quart Round French Oven, Red last year. Sadly this Cuisinart does not come close to the same quality of manufacture.
After a few weeks the lid of the Cuisinart pot started to rust and became immediately unusable! Now into only the 2nd month of regular use the bottom can be seen to be noticeably wearing away ): Please see my uploaded images at the top of this Amazon listing.
I don't expect this pot to last more than 6-9 months at the current rate of wear. I have been very happy with the cooking performance of enameled cast iron cookware, but from now on I will stick with the quality and Lifetime Warranty of Le Creuset.
Peace, Ben
