Although it is heavy. I would not recommend for the very elderly. However is a good buy for the young Moms who still have those fine motor skills in their hands. Cooks Great. Easy to clean in the sink. Very worth the price. I bought two. Down side the store did not have variety of colors but am sure if you want other colors you can get them online.

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 purchased this a week ago, I seasoned rim of pot and lid as directed. I used it first time yesterday to make beef stew. It cooked fine stew came out great but when I tried to remove pot from burner it stuck to it. I hade to force it off of the burner and found it had stuck in three spots removing the enamel from the bottom of the pot in those three spots. I will be returning tomorrow for a refund. Too bad I was hoping that I got a good product at a great price. Not so. Maybe I should have used the Tramontina Induction burner instead of my stovetop electric coil burner. I may hold out for a Staub.

I had been shopping for a cast iron dutch oven for a long time but just couldn't bring myself to pay the high prices. When I saw this one, I did a bit a research and learned Tramontina is a quality brand and the price from Sam's was an amazing deal. It's too soon to determine the durability but so far, it's worked well for cooking and cleans up nicely.

We just received ours less than a week ago. Used it twice, electric cook top never above medium high heat, no metal tools, Dobie pad and Dawn for cleaning. There are multiple chips on the bottom surface. Very disappointing. Feels like I just tossed out $53.

Got inspired to get a Dutch oven after seeing my bro-inlaw using one. Don't know how I got along without it for so long. Used it over 30+ times for stews, soups, gumbo, roasts. Well built, solid, even heat distribution. Reduced my cooking time by 25%. And, uses less heat than other stew pots. If you cook regularly add this to your arsenal. I'll pass this down to my kids if/when I'm done with it. Someone complained it was too heavy. Its CAST IRON. Smh.

I was interested in this Dutch Oven because of the price, it was the lowest I've seen. Before I decided to buy I checked the reviews and saw that many people loved it. Based off the reviews and price I bought one and I can say it was a great purchase. I use it almost every night. I would HIGHLY recommend getting one!!

It cooks food well and I love the color but the 2 stars are for the quality! The handle has a big chip in it and there is a small chip on the inside of the pot and this all happened shortly after I purchased it. I take great care of it and store it correctly. Contacted the company but they won't replace it because they said it is cosmetic. So disappointed.

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.

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.
