User review of Great Jones Dutchess
I went for Great Jones’ Dutchess and it’s great. $150, huge, stylish, & lifetime warranty. I felt the French had made enough $, so I went with the American female entrepreneurs.

Detailed positive experience with Dutchess
I have the oval great Jones dutch oven (the Dutchess) and it’s outstanding. Easy to clean and the shape is very utilitarian for any meat cut. I cracked mine by mistake and they replaced it no questions asked so the service is great. I also have their enameled sheet pan and the stainless pans. All excellent.

Glowing review of Dutchess performance
I have a great jones dutchess and it is absolutely amazing. It cooks great - I have made pork shoulder, a variety of veggies and risotto in it. I just love it for the recipes where you go from stove to oven. The enamel is so wonderfully non stick! It cleans so easily - easier to clean than my le creuset pan (though that one is an older edition so maybe not a direct comparison.) I have not used any other brand of enameled cast iron.
