I bought this for a gift so I don't know how well it performs. That's why I only rated it 4 stars. However, it's heavy and substantial and seems to be of good quality. The cap is screwed on so you can always tighten it if it becomes loose. My friend really wants a big dutch oven (she loves to cook), and she should be very happy with this. I know the Tramontina brand is well rated (America's Test Kitchen has rated other of their items as being of high quality) so I'm hoping for the best. And you CANNOT beat the price.

Can anyone tell me if the black pot is supposed to be really rough feeling on the whole out side of the pot? All the other colors I received was slick and shiny but the black one is dull and ruff feeling on the whole out side please give me feedback. Thanks everyone

My wife has been on my butt for years to get a Dutch Oven like her Mom has. They both love it. They both use it as a covered pot is the oven. Any pot my wife has would do the same job. Her Crock pot will do the same job. She loves the presentation. I do not care. To me it is just another kitchen thing that needs stored the other 350 days a year. However I Love her. She is a great Wife, Mom, Cook, Baker, Domestic Engineer, ect. It is one of her non-romantic Christmas gifts this year. Merry Christmas to you.

I like this so much I ordered another one for my daughter.

Food cooks in half the time and clean up is a breeze!

I had one given to me as a gift and I actually bought another one for my daughter.

Used one month. Cooks evenly. The enamel is chipping off the pot. Very disappointing.

I love this pot. Cooks great and easy clean-up.

Works better than I'd imagined . Price is simply unbeatable.

Excellent product for a Dutch oven cooker. I purchased 2. Thank you
