If I could give this zero stars I would. I actually bought this from a Local retail shop and returned it 4 times because every single one was chipped or damaged (before I even used it). I wish I'd learned my lesson because I finally found one that was not damaged and it was used just a few times and both the lid and the bottom are chipped.I've got lodge cast iron thats not enameled and its proven to be a great purchase that I've used for years. The enamel just is not applied properly and its easily chipped.
