Product Description
Amazon.com Review
Celebrity chef Daniel Boulud has been involved in so many food-related endeavors: Boulud is the owner of four highly renowned East Coast restaurants, most notably the four-star Daniel located in Manhattan; a Chef of the Year as bestowed by Bon Appetit; the author of several cookbooks; a guest chef on many TV and radio programs; a guest lecturer at many culinary institutes; plus he offers his own line of Caspian caviar and smoked Scottish salmon via mail order. It should be no surprise that Boulud is venturing into the cookware sector to endorse a line that meets his standards of quality and performance for his signature style of French bistro cooking.
Attractive enough to cook and then serve from, this 7-quart oval roasting pan is the ideal size to slow-cook a stuffed roast beef, braise four to six quail, or bake a hearty serving of seasoned potatoes with cheese. Made by prestigious French cookware manufacturer Sabatier under the Daniel Boulud Kitchen label, this roaster is constructed of heavy cast iron, which absorbs and transfers heat evenly for slow uniform cooking of meats and vegetables. The pot is coated with durable enamel in vivid color for a lifetime of protection and for easier cleaning. The original cast iron surface peeks through along the rims of the pot and the lid to more closely resemble rustic French countryside pottery from generations past. The cast-iron lid also has an exposed unenameled handle and has "flavor beads", or tiny raised balls, on its underside to help steam condense and retain moisture and flavor when using the roaster to braise meats or vegetables. Sturdy ridged handles on either side of the roaster prevent slipping but do require potholders as the cast iron retains the oven’s heat. All Daniel Boulud Kitchen cookware is dishwasher-safe. --Cristina Vaamonde

This review is from: Daniel Boulud Kitchen Infiniti Cast Iron 7-Quart Oval Roaster, Black (Kitchen)
I've been using Le Creuset for years, and am lucky enough to live near one of their factory outlets or else I might not be able to feed my addiction to their cookware, but this roaster from DBK seems to be as well made as Le Creuset but at about half the price I would pay at their stores. I've used it several times now and don't find it lacking in any way. Excellent pot at a great price.

This review is from: Daniel Boulud Kitchen Infiniti Cast Iron 7-Quart Oval Roaster, Black (Kitchen)
First of all I want to make it clear that my review reflects the very recent purchase - end of January 2008. Something may not apply for other periods.This is a pretty decent pot for a very good price - $59.99 - more then 40% off the regular price. But the catch phrase is - it's not returnable. So if you are "try and return" person - it's may be not for you. I think it's a "The Last of the Mohicans" - you wouldn't find DBK cast iron pots anywere else anymore ( may be on e-bay) and that's may be the reason for lower price. My pot arrived broken - imagine me openning the box with 7qt cast iron, only to find it's has a crack in it! I called Amazon ( remember - it's not returnable!) and they send me a replacement. Thank you Amazon, I love your customer service! The new pot also had some minor deformities, but no cracks or chipped enamel. By the way, it's made in China. The pot has very flat bottom - I have a ceramic stove top and it's very important! I love the lid - it's very heavy, fit's perfectly and has some spikes inside ( same as on outside - you can see them on a picture). I made my first pot roast and when I opened the pot after a few hours in the oven there was no condensation on the lid from inside - all moisture went back to the pot! The inside of the pot is the same black enamel as outside ( not like in the Staub pots) but I don't have complaints here - deglazed and cleaned without problems. There are no plastic/phenolic handles so pot can go into the oven in any temperature. I make no-knead bread and the high temps toleration is very important! So, if you are looking for a decent pot - this one will work for you!
