Single man loves his dutch Oven
I purchased my D.O. on an online auction site and mine does not have legs; other than that, it's the same as the one pictured. I still seasoned mine with shortening flakes from my food storage supply just to make sure it was done correctly as these D.O's I believe are made in Asia
The picture of the loaf is of a loaf I baked. You can spend twice as much on another brand and I doubt you will get any better results and I can pick the load right out of the D.O.; It does not stick to the bottom of pot. I was totally surprised at that.
Below is a recipe I found online. Once I understood the consistency of the dough, I experimented with the mixture adding more flour and honey to the mix (wish I added a bit more honey). You can add additional ingredients like nuts etc.

Do Not Buy This
Do not buy this item. Casting is of incredibly poor quality. Huge globs of casting on lid lip would not allow lid to sit on base. Bale handle too short and not wide enough. Picture shows dual bale handles but item received had only a single bale. When lifting handle it would not fit over the lid and would knock the lid off. Bent handle out to fit over lid and now it won't clear the lid to lay flat.
Also, 2 to 3 inch sections of the interior had huge globs of cast material stuck on - looked like a relief map of the rocky mountains.
I own several cast iron skillets and dutch ovens by Lodge, Camp Chef and various other makers... all good useable items. This is by far the worst quality cast iron product I have ever seen.
I suppose I can drill a drain hole in the bottom and use it as a planter!
It's a decent dutch oven.
The finish is relatively smooth and it seasoned well. It only has one handle instead the 2 shown in the picture.
