Bayou Classic cast iron cookware is made heavy-duty, rough and rugged. The 6-qt. soup pot with lid is ideal for slow cooking stews, gumbo, and chili.
With so many on offer these days, it is great to have a name you can trust. This item is certainly that and will be a perfect buy. The distributor have added some great touches and this equals great value.

Rough and Rugged
The ad states rough and rugged. What a dummy, I though they meant the quality, not the finish. There was three casting blobs of metal around the top that I spent 45 minutes fileing so the top would come close to closing. I washed with hot water and soap. No help in removing the heavy wax coating. God only knows whats in the Chinese wax, they don't mind using all sorts of poisons in the toys and products they ship to America. I then filled with water and boiled it, followed by another cleaning with soap and water. I then coated with shortning and baked for an hour at 300. A day later I was making a stew and as the meat was simmering I removed the lid. The condesation from the cover dripped on the stove. It was BLACK!! I wiped the inside of the pot above the simmering broth and the paper towel was Black. I have used and owned cast iron for over 35 years. I own over 25 piece's as I do a lot of large scale camp cooking over every type of heating source and have never had this problem. I...

Bayou Classic 7406, 6-Qt. Cast Iron Pot - rusty
The pot looked fine on arrival and it claimed to be pre-seasoned so I tried boiling water in on our induction stove to make spaghetti. I quickly became disappointed when the water in the pot turned rusty brown. I called the 800 number on the box and the rep said I should season it again. I did, but the water continues turning rusty brown no matter how many times I rub bacon grease on it. But the Amazon price was low and shipping as free (would not be on return) so now it's just an ornament
Don't bother
Having gotten carried away with the idea of cast iron cookery, I purchased this monstrosity. First attempt to season it went terribly awry (stank like a polecat), so washed it out and tried again, with slightly better results. Strange, as this is definitely not the first cast iron item I've seasoned. The interior surface is very uneven and rough, which I think caused the problem. I then realized that there was no way I could actually cook with this pot, because I'd never be able to lift it when filled. I mean, really - an EMPTY pot that weighs 30 pounds?!?!? I know the stated shipping weight is 20 lbs, but they're fudging. Unless Arnold Schwartzenneger decides to visit my kitchen frequently, it would sit on the stove forever.
Do yourself a favor, spend the money and buy a PROPER cast iron soup pot from Lodge or another quality manufacturer. You can be sure I will, from now on.
