I purchased the Dutch oven set in January 2018. Within 6 months the enamel was chipping around the rim and rust was coming through. I always washed and dried by hand. I contacted Tramontina and attached pictures. They asked for more pictures then required a receipt ( I no longer had the receipt). They closed out my ticket and basically told me to they weren't going to do anything. I really enjoyed cooking with a dutch oven but I would definitely save up and purchase a more quality brand that stands by their product. As the saying goes, you get what you pay for.

I have this pot about 4 years and loved it until today. I sautéed bacon, mushrooms and onion in the pot. When I stirred the mixture I realized that the enamel had chipped off the inside bottom of the pot and ruined my soup. I tried to contact the Manufacturer with no luck.

I purchased this dutch oven about a year and a half ago and it now has 3 significant chips in the porcelain. I've only used wooden or plastic spoons with it and have carefully washed it by hand. I tried to get my receipt from my local Sams Club and they couldn't find it. Tramontina will not honor the lifetime guarantee if you can't produce a receipt. I guess if you got one as a gift, you're also out of luck.

I bought a 6.5 qt Tramontina around 10 years ago, and then during a December sale bought another two-piece set (7 qt that is shorter and larger diameter than the 6.5 qt and a 4 qt) three years ago. I have used these in various ways - on an electric ceramic cook top (making soups and stews), going into the oven (braising various things), on an open flame grill side-burner (brown chicken in a little olive oil and then make a nice curry outside where it won't stink up the house...) and they are all still like new condition. A little simple care and maintenance keeps them looking great and they just perform great on their own. Two things I do: 1) Always put a little oil on the exposed iron areas around the rim and lid after washing. 2) I found some info online about putting some bleach water inside overnight to make the interior enamel look like new again (it darkens with use that basic washing won't take out).

I purchased this to bake bread, and it has been fantastic! I made the same rustic sourdough loaf I have been make for a couple of years and using this method really elevated the final product. The quality is good and the price was very reasonable. I am looking forward to trying other things in it.

I have never baked bread in my life but decided to give it a shot. There is a viral cheese bread recipe that I wanted to try and since it was on sale, I went ahead and purchased the Tramontina bread Dutch oven. I also purchased this 7-qt Tramontina Dutch oven because the set is so beautiful. My husband kept asking me over and over again, you didn't use a package for this? No, no I did not. I made it from scratch with my own two hands! I was so inspired, I decided to make cioppino (seafood soup) to go with the cheesy garlic bread. So I also purchased this 7-quart Dutch oven. (The cranberry and gold combination are stunning!) HE WENT CRAZY!! I have made so many wonderful dishes (including the fabulous potato leek soup pictured below) thanks to these two beautiful Dutch ovens. They are gorgeous, elegant, easy to use and clean up very well. I can't wait to make more recipes!!

It says that it is Oven safe up to 450 F° and 232 C° and Compatible with gas, electric, ceramic glass and induction cooktops. I used it on an electric range once (medium) and it burned off a section of the ceramic. Not the whole area that was on the burner. Just an odd area. Now I'm afraid to use it at all.

This is a fantastic pot! I use it almost everyday, and just leave it in my stove after I hand wash it and dry it. Beautiful colors to choose from. It is heavy, but it is durable and such a good price! No need to pay hundreds of dollars for other brands when this is cheaper and great quality!

I have not used the Dutch oven yet. I would like the Customer Care Team that has been providing responses to customer's comments to answer my question, which follows. I'd like to know whether this Dutch oven contains any toxic substances, such as heavy metals like lead or cadmium in the enamel or pigments, especially in certain colors. There are reputable non-governmental websites online, including warnings by the federal government, which warn potential buyers that certain low cost Dutch ovens have contained toxic substances. Therefore, I would like to know what independent testing has been done, specifically, by certified independent labs, to test whether this Dutch oven contains any toxic materials. Also, what assurances does Sam's Club give that these ovens are non-toxic? I'm sure all buyers of this product would like to know the answer to these two questions. Thank you.

I bought one a month ago and it cooked so good until I bought
