I don't know if anyone here has this pan but there is a recall for it.
Link below describing pan and reason for recall.

Dutch oven with glass lids is not a good idea. Their ad says the lid is
oven proof to 350 degrees. I can see it overheating.

If it's got a glass lid it ain't a dutch oven . Dutch ovens have a
flat cast iron lid with a lip around the edge to keep burning coals or
briquets from sliding off . If the lid is CI and domed , it a bean pot .
With a glass lid I don't know what it really is , but it sure ain't a
dutch oven .

The recall doesn't make much sense if you look at the pictures in the article.
To me, that looks like a solid cast iron lid and not glass. Why would a
solid cast iron lid explode?? Strange.

Revenge for all the Dutch babies?

[Hank Rogers]

Yep, dutch oven is a pot with a lid, capable of withstanding hot
coals to slow bake grub. Usually cast iron.

[Hank Rogers]

Nah, they can't make babies. Hell, best they can do is smell
american asses.

Here, have a whiff druce ...

[John Kuthe]

Gasses trapped in the cast iron could do it.

I'd not expect that tight a seal but depending on fit and heat expansion
if the lid fit snug in a recess. You could have steam buildup

Temperature of 110C would be 5 bar pressure. Yeah, that would blow the
lid off.

In English, 234 degrees could put 70 psi on a lid of about 113 sq. in.
