IMUSA USA 0.7Qt Traditional Colombian Mini Caldero (Dutch Oven) for Cooking and Serving, 0.7 Quart, Silver

This pot seems pretty small from the description, but for single person (or side dish) cooking, it's the smart-bomb of dutch ovens. Overall size (including handles) is a hair over 7.5", the inside diameter of the pot itself is just under 5-3/8". It will easily cook 1/4 cup of Basmati rice (150 calories) with room to spare for some chopped up vegetables or meat. It will fit 3 large eggs (210 calories). I measured the liquid volume to the rim and it came out to just over 600ml or about 21 ounces, which if you think about it, is the majority of a standard wine bottle (750ml). The lid fits very well, and the knob on top remains cool to the touch when used over a burner. It will fit into an 8" dutch oven, which means you can "double bake" by placing a spacer underneath the aluminum caldera. It can go directly from stove/oven to the kitchen table on a hot pad, although I recommend using a lexan spoon so you're not scraping into the aluminum. Used with adequate oil/butter it does not stick if the temperatures are kept down. It has become a "go to" pot in my kitchen for convenience and function. It also is useful to establish "portion control" for those of us who wish to reduce our calorie intake. Great item!

This thing is fantastic. I got the smallest one. You can cook and simmer small amounts of food with practically no heat once it's up to boiling. This has very good thermal conductivity (careful... it stays hot a long time!)The surface is not as non-stick as teflon so it does require a tiny amount of effort to clean, but it is pretty darn non-stick compared to most metal surfaces, and you can use metal utensils in it.It would be nice if the lid could be put in the oven, but the handle is some kind of polymer, so I wouldn't try it.This old chef has used a zillion different cooking vessels, and it's charming and pleasing to find something that actual adds some fun to food preparation!

Buena calidad

This little pot is just the right size. It cooks well. It's cleans well. I love it so much I just got my second one today. It's worth it. It's gonna last for many years.

Thanks

The screw to the top is none functional because it comes off because it’s not the right size. Very poor quality

Right sized for two people BUT they could have done a much better job at smoothing the edges. Had to use a nail filer to smooth sharp edges (not a joke) … buying a 1 Q Saucepan with Ceramic coating is a better way to go. Keeping it and Rated it a 3

Purchase these small rice pots to use as decorations for the kitchen. Found them to be very cute. I do have the large ones from Imusa that I use to cook rice in which is great. If you care & wash the pot properly it will last you forever and cook great rice. Have all different sizes for different types of foods & have had them for more than 27 yrs.. I take extra good care of my pots so they still look almost new and the food taste great. I recommend these pots highly. They will last you forever. Packaging & shipping was great.
