Beautiful and FUNctional! I purchased the Tramontina Enameled Cast Iron 7 qt dutch oven from Sams and it was a such a great price! It is probably the prettiest pot I have ever owned too! I just tried it out last weekend and it made a wonderful roast in an hour and a half! I got it in the gray - black color, it is gorgeous! It was easy clean up too but I hope it stays that way. I have read other dutch ovens need to be cleaned with hydrogen peroxide after awhile.

I bought my mom this in July for her birthday. She uses it all the time! I then bought myself one and don't know how I lived without it! Finally I bought one for each of my three sisters, my brother and my dog groomer for Christmas. At the bargain price of $29.98, I couldn't afford NOT to get them! They are so durable and the colors are absolutely beautiful!

I bought this dutch oven becauseI ruined my old stainless steel pot. A friend has one and she told me how great they are. I am definately not sorry I purchased this. In fact I lijed it so well, I also ordered ine for my daughter's birthday n Christmas present combined. Also the ability to cook with a lower heat is a real plus for better tasting food.

I love this cast iron Dutch Oven. I was so excited when I opened the box. First things first, the color is amazing. I have the red. Very well made (heavy) love the way it cooks. After getting this I was so excited so I bought my Mom, and my best friend one, same color of course. They were equally satisfied. Regardless of the color you choose you will not be disappointed.

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.

This is a great pot. The price is excellent. I have lots of more expensive Le Creuset and this pot is just as good. In fact, a better deal for the price. I love the size. It’s perfect for simmering and making soups and stews, one pot dinners, etc. I’ve already used it many times. It is very heavy but then it’s cast iron so that should be expected and it’s one of the reasons it cooks so well. Either stove top or oven it performed wonderfully. It cleans up well in the dishwasher and even by hand. I would definitely recommend it. It would make a wonderful gift for someone of even yourself.

This pot is heavy! I was surprised at how much heat it held in. I love the non-stick enamel surface that allows me to fry meat for soups in it for soup bases. Easy to clean, with the exception of it being so heavy. I'm always worried I will chip the enamel, but so far--it's held up wonderfully.

Dutch Ovens are the best pot in your kitchen and it often becomes a family heirloom. I purchase this Dutch Oven in Teal Blue and it is a beautiful as the picture. This oven was a gift to someone new to cooking. The wonderful things people discovered while staying at home…”Cooking you say…what is that?” One meal out of the Dutch Oven and suddenly they’re a Chef…. funny what an oven will do. It currently gets used every Sunday and I get to hear all about the tender roast, the moist chicken, spare ribs, etc. For those buying the Instant Pot great appliance (I recently purchased) HOWEVER the Dutch provides the same tenderness and the overall cooking times are the same. You can also open it if you want add seasoning, check it see if you need to add more time or not, and it can be opened right away. The only time I would not recommend a Dutch oven is if you can not lift beyond 10lbs from the oven and I would caution seniors to get a smaller one due to the weight. It also gets EXTREMLY Hot so be cautious. Other than that I absolutely love my Dutch oven and as for the cast iron skillet...its not a myth cast iron skillets are the best skillet you will ever buy.

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.

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.
