Great Jones’ documented strength is cookware that looks great and performs well in testing. The brand built its following with The Dutchess, a colorful 6.75-quart enameled cast-iron Dutch oven, and the Holy Sheet, a coated half-sheet baking pan, according to Green Choice Lifestyle. Taste of Home named The Dutchess its best overall Great Jones cookware, praising it as highly durable with even heat distribution, oven-safe to 500°F and backed by a limited lifetime warranty. It named the Holy Sheet the most versatile and called it worth the investment for its quality and even heating. Apartment Therapy said the Holy Sheet’s ceramic coating made cleanup a breeze and its aluminized steel build won’t warp. Taste of Home says Great Jones is owned by the Meyer Corporation, a major cookware distributor.
Thingtesting’s summary of customer reviews says Great Jones impresses with bold, beautiful cookware that often performs well, especially The Dutchess, its ceramic baking dishes and heavy Holy Sheet pans. One Thingtesting reviewer said they love their green Dutch oven, which works wonderfully and is easy to clean. Another said they cook nightly in the Deep Cut and Saucy pans, praising the quality, sleek look and dishwasher-safe design. Reviewed tested the Hot Dish casserole and Sweetie Pie pie dish, describing the Hot Dish as perfect for sweet and savory dishes.
Great Jones’ range covers enameled cast iron (The Dutchess, Dutch Baby), a cast-iron skillet (King Sear), stainless steel pans, coated bakeware (Holy Sheet, Little Sheet, Breadwinner, Patty Cake, Stud Muffin) and ceramic stoneware (Hot Dish, Little Hottie, Sweetie Pie), according to Green Choice Lifestyle. Green Choice Lifestyle rated its stainless steel cookware 9 out of 10 after cooking 25 meals, noting it has no chemical coating and is 100% PFAS-free. Prices include The Dutchess at about $160, the Holy Sheet at $45 and the Hot Dish at about $75, according to The Daily Beast, Taste of Home and Reviewed, with frequent sales.
The honest caveat: Great Jones has only two Trustpilot reviews, both negative, so there’s little Trustpilot data. Thingtesting’s summary notes durability issues and design missteps temper the praise. Paula B (US, 2 stars) said a light-colored Holy Sheet stained badly after baking cookies and Great Jones offered no warranty help. The Goteros (US, 1 star) said their order arrived poorly packaged with a damaged pan and support initially quoted two weeks for a response. Taste of Home also notes The Dutchess is heavy, at roughly 15 pounds with its lid, and pricey.

Why Trust This Review
This review draws on testing from Taste of Home, Reviewed, Apartment Therapy, The Daily Beast and Green Choice Lifestyle, Thingtesting’s summary of customer reviews, two Trustpilot reviews and Great Jones product information. Great Jones’ Trustpilot profile is unclaimed and too small to be representative, so we relied mainly on editorial testing and Thingtesting. Prices change frequently with sales.
Safety note: Enameled cast iron is very heavy and holds heat for a long time, so use oven mitts and lift carefully. Avoid metal utensils and abrasive scrubbers on coated bakeware to protect the surface, and don’t overheat empty coated pans. GlossGirly has no commercial relationship with Great Jones that affects this verdict.
Full Review Breakdown
The Dutchess and Enameled Cast Iron
The Dutchess is Great Jones’ signature product, a 6.75-quart enameled cast-iron Dutch oven with an oval shape and easy-grip handles, available in colors like mustard yellow, blueberry blue and red. Taste of Home named it the best overall Great Jones cookware, praising its durability, even heat distribution, oven safety to 500°F and limited lifetime warranty. Taste of Home’s tester found it moved gracefully from stove to oven to table. The Daily Beast called it the centerpiece of its writer’s kitchen.
The Dutch Baby is a smaller 3.5-quart version that nests inside The Dutchess. Both suit braises, soups, stews and bread. Taste of Home notes The Dutchess weighs roughly 15 pounds with its lid and is pricey. A Thingtesting reviewer said their Dutch oven is beautiful and easy to clean.
Bakeware: Holy Sheet and Ceramic Dishes
The Holy Sheet is Great Jones’ most popular bakeware. Taste of Home called it a beautiful, heavy-duty nonstick sheet pan that’s easy to clean and worth the investment despite costing more than most sheet pans. Apartment Therapy said its aluminized steel build won’t warp. Great Jones also sells the smaller Little Sheet, plus loaf, cake and muffin pans.
Its ceramic stoneware includes the Hot Dish casserole, Little Hottie and Sweetie Pie. Reviewed tested the Hot Dish with lasagna and praised its versatility, and noted the Sweetie Pie costs $45. One reviewer called the Hot Dish handles “ridiculously amazing,” according to a sale roundup. Staining is a concern with light colors. Paula B said her yellow Holy Sheet stained badly from baking cookies, and Great Jones told her light-colored pans can stain and suggested using liners. Use parchment or silicone mats with light-colored pans.
Stainless Steel and Skillets
Great Jones also makes stainless steel cookware and a cast-iron skillet called King Sear. Green Choice Lifestyle rated the stainless steel line 9 out of 10 after cooking 25 meals, including steak, salmon, eggs and sauces, noting it has no chemical coating and is 100% PFAS-free. Its earlier lineup included the Big Deal stock pot at $95 and Small Fry frying pan at $50, according to Reviewed. A Thingtesting reviewer praised the Deep Cut and Saucy pans for nightly cooking. Stainless steel requires preheating and some technique to prevent sticking, but lasts for years.
Pricing, Packaging and Customer Service
Great Jones is mid-priced, with frequent sales. The Daily Beast lists The Dutchess at $160, and a holiday sale cut it to $125. Taste of Home lists the Holy Sheet at $45, and sales have dropped it to $30. Reviewed lists the Hot Dish at $75. Apartment Therapy notes The Starting Lineup bundle, with the Dutch Baby, Small Fry and Little Sheet, was available for $160.
Customer service draws criticism in limited reviews. The Goteros said their order arrived poorly packaged, with one pan damaged, and support initially said it would take two weeks to respond, though a replacement was eventually sent. Paula B said she received no warranty help for staining. Thingtesting notes durability issues and design missteps. Inspect deliveries immediately and photograph any damage.
Best Products Worth Buying
Great Jones’ signature 6.75-quart enameled cast-iron Dutch oven, with an oval shape, easy-grip handles and colorful finishes. Taste of Home named it the best overall Great Jones cookware, citing durability, even heat, oven safety to 500°F and a limited lifetime warranty. Best for braises, stews, soups and bread baking. Trade-offs: heavy at about 15 pounds with lid. Avoid metal utensils on the enamel and let it cool before washing.
A heavy-duty half-sheet pan with a nonstick ceramic coating and aluminized steel construction that won’t warp, according to Apartment Therapy. Taste of Home called it worth the investment for its even heating and easy cleanup. Best for roasting vegetables, sheet pan dinners and cookies. Trade-offs: light colors can stain, as Paula B found. Use parchment paper or a silicone mat, and choose darker colors if staining worries you.
