If the oil seal fails, the lubricant can escape, leading to insufficient lubrication of the bearings and other critical components. This can result in increased wear and tear, decreased performance, and eventually, catastrophic failure.
Another factor to keep in mind is the size and weight of the Dutch oven. Most standard Dutch ovens range from 4 to 7 quarts, which is ideal for most family meals.

Weighing in at a heavier capacity, these pots can help ensure even cooking without the risk of tipping over on the stovetop.
