This was mentioned already in the Le Creuset thread a couple times, but yes, it is by far the best deal on the site right now. It's basically one of their larger cast iron Dutch Ovens for 50% off. People are overlooking this particular pot because it's not "officially" a dutch oven, but it basically is.

The 7.5 qt size is now discontinued in their regular sales (they now only offer 4.5 qt and smaller), so once this sells out during the factory 2 table sale, you'll only be able to get it on eBay.

How would this be for baking a loaf of bread in the oven?

It will work great as long as you are ok with the bottom being a bit rounded instead of flat. This has a somewhat rounded bottom instead of a flat bottom like a dutch oven but it will cook bread the same.

I don't think they want to make a banana bread.....it's 2020.

How about save $120 and get a Lodge Double Dutch Oven.

You do know bread has been being made for about 10,000 years now. Most of it made in something other than enameled cast iron. On the cheapo ones (lodge, Martha Stewart) you get what you pay for.

Why or why wouldn't I want a rounded bottom for "traditional" Dutch oven use? Also, has a Dutch oven been had for less than the 177 price tag of this? Been wanting to get one of these, but don't have much knowledge on their prices

I'm not talking about enameled cast iron. Lodge Cast Iron. High quality, Combo Cooker, $36 on Amazon. With free shipping and many uses, it's a slickdeal.

Be aware, this one can't withstand high temps, which is dealbreaker for us.

"Composite knob withstands temperatures up to 375°F"

Stainless steel knob is about $20.

I'd get a flat bottom, if for nothing else more surface area for searing, etc.

To each their own. Got my Staub for $99. At least we both agree this is still overpriced. BTW, don't do anything red wine or tomato based in that non-enameled cast iron... Such as bourgnon, jambalaya, cioppino...

A "traditional" Dutch oven is just going to have more surface area to brown meat. That's about the only difference from this particular unit. It has a smaller base with angled sides, tapering up to a bigger lid.

For a 7.5 qt enameled Dutch Oven made in France, you'll have a hard time finding a lower price than this. A few weeks ago, Williams-Sonoma had store brand Dutch Ovens of the same size that were made by Staub (also made in France) for around $125, but those sold out quickly. The one downside of those was that the W&S brand (for whatever) were a good deal heavier than the name brand Staubs, but they were quite a good deal.

In previous years, Costco also sold Kirkland branded enameled Dutch Oven at made in China like prices ($70-$120) that were also made in France. But they were very limited runs that haven't been brought back again. The only other way to get this stuff for cheap is Cragislist, Letgo, Offerup or to get lucky at a place like Burlington Coat Factory or Home Goods.

Keep in mind this thing will hold it's value, even after years of use. Put it up for sale on CL in a few years and you'll easily get $150 for it.
