This pot is extremely heavy, hand washing is a challenge! Color is gorgeous (red). The packaging was amazing, this item would never have been scratched or damaged in any way. Shipping was fast. (2 days) I've cooked in it almost everyday since it arrived, does a fine job! One of the best purchases I've ever made!

I would have given it no star at all if I were allowed. As shown in the attached pictures, the lid of the dutch oven leaves a gap when it sits on the actual oven. I'm not sure if this is a defect that happen to appear only on the dutch oven I bought, but what I do know is this gap made more than 2 Qt of water evaporate within 30 minutes on medium high heat and burnt a soup that took me almost 2 hours to prepare. Horrible experience with this purchase did not end there. Since then, I emailed the company regarding this incident, and it's been 10 days now I didn't even get an auto reply. I then called the customer service number. My call went straight into voice mail. Still hoping they would have the decency of doing what they say, I left my phone number. It's been more than 24 hours by now, nobody called me. Based on my more than disappointing experience, I would NOT recommend any one to buy anything from this company. Once they get your money, you are on your own.

I have not used this dutch oven yet, but am very pleased with the style and overall appearance. I have several recipes that call for cast iron dutch ovens, I didn't want to have to season a pan and worry about rusting. This pan is excellent, will let you know how well I like it after I prepare a meal in it. It is extremely heavy but it has to be for oven cooking.

I LOVED this Dutch oven! It does exactly what it says and your food is going to taste amazing! I am an awesome chef but this enhanced the flavors of my food by infusing the flavors into each other . I thought because of the great price, this could not be as good as the more expensive brand but I was very wrong. I am now investing in more. I want them all!

The quality is top notch. The pan and lid are very heavy duty, I have only used it twice so far, but works great, and cleans up easy. I love the color (turquoise blue). This was the best price I have seen on this product. I expect to have many years of use with it.

I have had my Tramontina Dutch Oven for two years, and have cooked everything imaginable in it, but most of all I use it for baking bread. I use the NY Times Recipe for no-knead bread (as modified by Cook's Magazine) and it makes a fabulous, professional-looking and delicious loaf. One of my favorite kitchen tools; useful for so many things!
