Scanpan CTX 7.5 Quart Stainless Steel Covered Dutch Oven - Perfect for Braising, Stewing & Baking - Ideal for Home Chefs & Professional Kitchens

I make a batch of organic steel cut oats with half gallon organic milk, hemp seeds, flax seeds and oodles of cinnamon once a week and got tired of scouring the bottom of my regular pans from scalded milk and oats. I chose this Scanpan Dutch Oven because of the quality as well as the performance. I have other Scanpan pieces and they are perfect. This is heavy weight, brushed stainless steel. The nonstick interior is free from the toxic chemicals that many other pans have. In fact, titanium is one component of the nonstick surface which is also slightly textured. Instructions say that metal utensils are safe to use, however, I prefer to use wooden utensils just to preserve the interior as long as possible. Others have complained about the handles being too small and getting hot. You just need to be mindful of this and use thick potholders when moving it or removing the lid. Cooking performance is great. Using medium heat - as recommended - it heats up quickly and provides solid heat throughout the entire pan, not just in spots. The pan is also suitable for induction cooktops if you should have one. This is the perfect size for my weekly batch of oats. It cleans up easily - no scouring required! This piece is expensive, but considering Scanpan quality, it it well worth it and will last many, many years.
