I have always coveted the Le Creuset cookware but couldn't justify a second mortgage to pay $300 for a pot. I saw the cheaper version of this at Walmart & the yearnings started all over. Unfortunately, it had a plastic looking knob that really turned me off. Then I saw this one at Sam's & the heavens opened.& the angels sang. I KNEW eventually I would have to go into therapy if I didn't get it. I wanted the blue but all they had left was the red. Okay, well, if I have to. It is a gorgeous glossy ruby red. The photo doesn't do it justice. In 4 days I've used it 3 times. I love it! It's replaced 2 pans that have gone in the donations box already. The ONLY drawback is it's heavy. Not for the cook w/ weak wrists or a bad back!!

The enamel comes off while cooking and you don’t realize it until you have eaten the food and cleaned it. That’s not healthy. I wish I could return it but too late. Why are they allowed to keep selling these items. I don’t really care for many things that members mark makes, except for essential products.

I only use this two to three times in the winter for soups and chili. When I had bought this I noticed a thin spot in the enamel inside. Well now this is popping off and exposing the cast iron. I will be returning since there is a life time warranty. So open it up and check it out. The inside turns dark no matter how you clean it.

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 received this item as a gift. I was so excited, I have been using it weekly. Though I have only had the item 2 weeks it hasn't left my stove top. I was cleaning it several days ago and noticed the inside ridge under the lid is noticeably rusting. I attempted rubbing it with oil. Cooked another dish and removed the lid and rust had dripped onto the enamel of the inside of the dutch oven. I attempted the ask a question option and received a response the option wasn't available, probably because it is Thanksgiving. I will be contacting my local store to return. So very disappointed!

Was excited to receive this, I will say it was packed very well but that's it... Unpacked to discover a huge chip on the top side near the handle, I searched the box and found no chip which indicates it was shipped this way, Impossible not to notice a HUGE chip on the side of the product. Not even going to wash it or waste my time shipping it back, Going into the trash

SO disappointed. Bought this on a good sale and thought it would last me long enough until I could get a name brand one. I?m a regular pretty decent home cook and even followed all instructions in the package as to seasoning it before us. After that I used it no more than 5 times and this happened, I was shocked and so bummed. The bottom starting chipping away worse than cheap nail polish. I never used metal utensils, only wooden spoons. Save your money and get a REAL one.

I purchased this for my wife because she wanted one really badly and we’ve had it for a few years now. We’ve used it only few times now it has a chip inside the pot and we reached out to the company it’s self and they won’t help with the defect. Buyer beware if you get this and it’s gets messed up they won’t help you buy a different brand.

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 love my dutch oven. Execellent Price compared to other equivalent products. I waited a year to purchase one for my son. Cleans up easy compared to other non-enameled pots. Love that I can make recipes that called for more than one pot; now I only use the one pot. Casserole-type dishes that can cook part 1 on stove, then add other ingredients & bake in oven; all in the one pot. My only criticisms are: the inside enamel (after only 1 yr) has slightly cracked & stained. The upper edge of the pot & rim of the lid (where they come together & meet when lid is on pot) are not enameled (probably for heat conduction) so the exposed iron can rust. I wash my pot by hand & never put in dishwasher for this reason. But I love it just the same. It's my Go-To Pot several times a week.
