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.

This is a beautiful piece.it is a deep, rich blueceith a cream colored interior. I have used it about 3 times since receiving it. I sprayed it with a good quality precooking spray before using and after cooking stewand then spaghetti sauce it cleaned up effortlessly. It cooks evenly and works on my induction cook top. I am going to try it in the oven tomorrow to make No Knead Bread . I can't wait to see how it performs!

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.

LOVE my new Dutch oven! I have a few pieces of cast iron, but when I saw this enameled one, had to have it. Easier to clean than my non-enameled cast, and I love the cobalt color. Got it on sale online and free shipping, so that's a big bonus. Making a pot roast in it this weekend!

I haven't stopped using this Dutch oven since I purchased it. Why pay for an expensive brand hundreds of dollars when this little beauty looks and functions just as well. I have baked bread in it at 450 degrees daily along with cooking soups on a gas burner. It still looks brand new. I got the purple colored one and have received loads of compliments from friends and relatives during the Christmas season. I highly recommend this project.

Love this pot ..the teal is beautiful. Used it once already at very high heat and it worked like a dream and cleaned up perfectly. Bought another as a gift, and plan on buying more for my family. I own a LeCruset pot and this is as nice if not better for 1/4 the price.

I bought this as a gift last Christmas and the person I bought this for just loves it and uses it all the time. I thought to myself why didn't I buy one for me. So this year it was my turn. Love the red. Shipping was fast, plus the size is great and most important is the cost, it compares to those high end ones and no one would ever know.

I love cooking in a Dutch oven. I have a Le Creuset and this by Tramontina and they both perform exceptionallt well. I have had the le Creuset for 12-13 years now, and the Tramontina I was a recent gift, so time will tell how it holds up. I love it! Wish they made a bigger size!

I have not used the Dutch oven yet. I would like the Customer Care Team that has been providing responses to customer's comments to answer my question, which follows. I'd like to know whether this Dutch oven contains any toxic substances, such as heavy metals like lead or cadmium in the enamel or pigments, especially in certain colors. There are reputable non-governmental websites online, including warnings by the federal government, which warn potential buyers that certain low cost Dutch ovens have contained toxic substances. Therefore, I would like to know what independent testing has been done, specifically, by certified independent labs, to test whether this Dutch oven contains any toxic materials. Also, what assurances does Sam's Club give that these ovens are non-toxic? I'm sure all buyers of this product would like to know the answer to these two questions. Thank you.

I have been looking for a long time to find a Dutch oven that is substantial in size and quality at a great value. I was concerned when I first saw this having to order sight unseen, however was so pleased when it arrived. It is not only extremely well made but it has a beautiful finish as well. I have already used it several times and love the results. Definitely would recommend.
