It's not a Le Creuset, but for everyday use it pretty darn good for a very, very reasonable price. I let my lady friend use it & may never get it back. It's great for soups, roast, well anything you use a Dutch oven for. Key thing is to make sure that lid fits flat & dose not rock.

I got the Dutch oven in red for Christmas and just love it! You can't go wrong with this pot! It heats evenly, retains heat and it can be on stove top and oven. Hand washing is a breeze. I use one of those flat rubber pot scrubbers and cleans beautifully. Read directions. Do not use a hand mixer. It is enameled cast iron so you need some muscles, as with all cast iron pot. Especially when filled with beef stew, roasts , chili or soups. Buying some for the kids at Christmas. Oh! The price is unbelievable! If you compare to any other enameled cast iron pot, it can be upwards of $200-$300!

I bought this in a beautiful burgundy color because it was a great price- I thought it looks nice and well made, how bad can it be? Let me tell you I was not disappointed. It performs very well and is a great low cost addition to my kitchen cookware. If I were to say anything negative, it would be that the weight is heavy for me and when you add the food it is even heavier of course. I usually put the dutch oven without the lid into the oven first, then put on the lid. Clean up is easy after I soak the pan in hot soapy water a bit. I have made many pot roasts, lamb shanks and lamb shoulder meals as well as no-knead breads in it (I have a smaller 4.5 qt Tramontina dutch oven as well that I normally use for the bread). Very happy with it!

The handle chipped on my dutch oven. I have owned it roughly around a year and have only used it 6 or 7 times since purchase. It sits on top of my stove as decoration when not in use. It has never been used it in the oven. I contacted customer service through Tramontina and they told me it was not a warranty issue. Disappointed. It is a beautiful pot but not if the finish does not stay on.

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.

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!!

I bought 2 of these for Xmas gifts and one for moi. All beige will go with any kitchen. A lovely oyster/bone color. I opened all three. Two had the tiniest of flaws that won't affect function. Roomy 6.5 qt. Metal handle. Beautiful and sleek looking on my stove. For $39.99 these are a steal. Heavy. Will hold the heat. Tight lid. Follow the directions and they should last a very long time. So happy.

About a month ago, I purchased this dutch oven in red. This is my first experience trying this brand. Several years ago, I purchased a smaller oval dutch oven from a French manufacturer ($374.) Well, I have used this Tramontina dutch oven several times and it cooks better than my expensive one. It is not only beautiful, but it cooks evenly without sticking plus no staining of the interior and what a savngs. I am a very happy customer.

My second one!

I hardly give reviews, but I decided to write something down this time around at least to save another customer from losing their money. Please believe every review here, despite all the negative feedback I decided to purchase it with the intention of being careful in handling it. I bought this 7-inch Tramontina Dutch oven from Sam's Club. I ordered it on November 23, 2022, and it was delivered on November 26, 2022. When I got it, I decided to boil water in it to help clean it before using it. After the water was cooled, I saw this rust on the rims of both the lid and the pan after the first use. I tried cleaning it, but the rust stain wouldn’t go away. Please don't waste your money and buy this, run away from it
