I recently received and have used my Tramontina Dutch oven 2 times. Presentation was beautiful and a perfect size for serving Gumbo. Heating was even and great to blend the vegetables with the roux. Adding broth was a smooth procedure. Personally, I like the Tramontina brand Cast Iron. The price is right and the quality has been great, so far. Yes, I bought an extra DO for my daughter in law. Holding it til later holiday. Will I buy more? If I have room to store the item.

I purchased 2 of these Dutch ovens for Christmas gifts. After seeing how excited my daughter-in-law was about hers, I decided to purchase one for myself. We own a motor home, travel frequently, and I like to use my induction cooktop while traveling. The fact I could use this pot at home and on the road was an added plus. Beautiful visually and performs wonderfully. The only con is,that when it is full of food it is heavy for me (65 yrs old) to handle on my own. Otherwise, I highly recommend this item.

This is the largest Dutch oven I own. It cooks everything evenly. It is large enough for an 8 lb roast plus vegetables with space left over. The quality is excellent. The only drawback is the weight. It is just a tad heavy so you’ll need some muscles to move it around especially when full. I would definitely recommend this.

Really well made product at a great price over comparable Dutch ovens elsewhere. Good sized bottom surface but still fits on my largest ceramic cooktop burner in the front. Yes it is heavy as all of the larger ones are. I got mine in a purple eggplant color and I am quite happy with how it heats up and maintains heat cooking at a simmer even when I lower the burner temperature. Made a large pot of Bolognese sauce with meatballs in it and it cleaned up pretty easily. Great for stews and slow braising larger roasts with vegetables. Can go into the oven after searing meats or sautéing vegetables for longer braising times. Just keep a level of liquid in it to avoid scorching the bottom.

I was looking for a large Dutch Oven to replace another 6 quart pot that I had so that I could use it in and on the range. I've used it about 5 times so far and I have no complaints. It was inexpensive and it looks and cooks great. I think it's a steal.

Bought this for my aunt who didn't have anything like this. She made a pot roast and raved about it. I have two like this and love them both. Heavy pot to withstand long slow cooking imparts awesome flavors. Beautiful and extremely easy to clean up. I this one cleans easier than the LeCreuset I paid $240 for. Great value. Thank you.

I bought this to make great dishes like chili, potato soup, stews, etc. The only thing I didn't think about was the weight and it is a little heavy for me to pick up and move around on my smooth top stove, but I have managed the issued. Purple is my favorite color. The dishes are so delicious and it can be made in one pot.

I fought myself buying this because I couldn’t figure out how I’d use it. Silly me! I have used this many times in just theee weeks. I use it on the glass cooktop, in the oven and even used it to hold a centerpiece! It is well made and cooks evenly. Remember to use a hot mitt to remove the lid as the metal knob does get hot.

These days, so many times I am disappointed by the misrepresentation of a item purchased. Receiving instead, a cheap knock-off of the pictured item. This is not such an experience, and is spot-on for quality, and an exceptional value as an added perk. I have two, and will be thrilled to have multiples for extended time cooking of two recipes. Make sure to follow directions to season the sealing edges - it is excellent advice.

I purchased one for myself, I did not want to spend tons of money on a big name brand. Love it! Perfect family size. I was given the advice to place the bottom from a coffee can ( large use can opener ) on the burner to keep the bottom from scorching. It worked great and distributes the heat very well. I loved it so much, I ordered my sister one for Christmas!
