I purchased both the 3 qt and 5 qt and it is by far one of my best purchases. Sunday's Roast was "perfect", and the clean up was easier than I thought. I have other regular cast iron, and no matter how many times I've seasoned them and tried babying them, they would rust or have an odd flavor; so I stopped using them. THESE, however, are PERFECT. Thanks Wolfgang Puck for helping us out.
