What to know before buying
Listing details to confirm
Listing details are inconsistent about size: the title says 16.5cm diameter, while specifications list 15 Centimetres diameter and dimensions of 35.3 x 35.3 x 15.2 centimetres. The title's 16.5cm figure and the separate 40.5W x 18.5H centimetres entry do not align clearly with those measurements, so confirm the footprint before buying. The 3.6QT title capacity is stated as 3.6 quarts in the specifications. Customer feedback also reports interior rust and sink staining, despite the listing's rust-resistance claim. Use oven gloves when handling, and avoid metal utensils or scouring pads.

Customer feedback is generally favourable about bread and meatloaf results, size, appearance and the offset handles. Buyers considering this 3.6-quart, lidded design may find those reported strengths relevant to home baking, but feedback also mentions interior rust and sink staining. The listing's enamel rust-resistance claim does not rule out those reported experiences.
Positive themes
- Customers praise results for sourdough bread and meatloaf, and report liking the size and offset handles.
Negative themes
- Some customer feedback reports rust forming inside and staining sinks.
