When this item came up on Sam's Club.com I knew it was just what I had been looking for. A larger pot to boil potatoes for special occasions, for Chili when we all get together for football and family fun nights. A pot to resurrect My Grandmothers Ham hock and bean soup. This pot is just perfect, built extremely well; a more expensive name brand could not work better.

Very well packed for surviving shipment during a peak shipping season. Good instructions but they're on the box flap & not in an enclosed "user manual." Although the Dutch Oven is well-enameled, be sure to read the comments about seasoning the non-enameled mating surfaces of the pot & lid (not news to regular cast-iron users). There's nothing magic in how well it works for slow cooking but that may be great news to new cast-iron users. My wife is thrilled with the form & fit of the 2 castings and the great look of the product. We couldn't be more pleased with the purchase, careful packaging & speed of delivey!

I have had this dutch oven for a few years and recently purchased one for my daughter. I don't know how I got along without it before that. It is excellent for roasting, braising, stews, and as a bread baker. Clean up is easy even with baked on messes. Every cook should have one of these and at this low price there is no reason they shouldn't.

Absolutely gorgeous dutch oven. I purchased this to use for baking no knead bread. Works perfectly and produces a crispy on the outside but tender on the inside sourdough loaf. It’s also a great size for soup, chili, or stew. I’m super happy with this purchase.

I bought this for my daughter who had mentioned that she would like to have a Dutch oven. They were so much money that she didn't want to spend that much. They were way over $100.00. I saw this on the site. It was a great price and nice colors so I sent her one. She was thrilled! She kept saying how nice it was and the dark gray was really pretty. Little did she know that I had spent much less than she thought. She is hard to please and this was a big hit! Sam's does it again, quality without the high price.

I have one of these in blue and love it so I bought one for my son in law in black for Christmas he loves it also . It’s great for making soups, stews and whatever else you can think of. I like the fact that it’s deep. I have other Dutch ovens also by the same company and love them also.

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 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!

This pot is a good heavy soup/stick pot. I’ve only used it a few times since purchasing so I can’t speak to durability. But it heats nice, and the 2 soups and few other dishes came out great. I will say, I ordered the purple, and The actual color is very different than that in the picture. It’s not bad, but definitely more of a raspberry than a dark purple. And that’s why my review is 4 stars.

I've had this pot for several months now and I love everything about it. It cooks evenly and goes into the oven as needed. One caveat: it's very heavy. If you have hand issues, you will need a partner to help with moving and washing it. I understood that when I bought it: it's cast iron after all. The Dutch Oven is now a permanent resident of the top of my stove. Happily, it looks great and matches my kitchen décor,
