Beautiful and big. Wonderful for making stovetop soups or using it in the oven. However, I wish it was dishwasher safe, because it is soooo heavy. I have a hard time picking it up and moving it around to clean it. Sometimes I feel like it is not worth the bother, so I don't use it.

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.

Cooks just as good as the expensive ones. I have made many things in it in the 3 weeks that I've owned it including, country style ribs, pot roast, marshmallow crisp treats, & potato soup. Sprayed with non-stick spray, NOTHING has stuck to it. Absolutely a breeze to clean up.

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!

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 bought this Dutch oven recently in the Charcoal color and I am super satisfied with its looks and performance. So far, I've cooked crawfish etouffee, shrimp pasta and cube steaks with onions and gravy (that dish required placing the pot in the oven for 45 minutes). All dishes cooked to perfection and the cleaned pot still looks brand new inside and out. Yes, it is heavy as cast iron is supposed to be. It does not need to and should not be used on high heat. A medium to medium hi is good enough to cook your food deliciously and still preserve the looks of this pot. And at this sale price, it is a complete bargain for the home cook. The available colors are also amazing and would make great, affordable gifts. Don't waste your money on more expensive pots of this kind. This is a keeper! Don't pass it up.

I purchased this to bake bread, and it has been fantastic! I made the same rustic sourdough loaf I have been make for a couple of years and using this method really elevated the final product. The quality is good and the price was very reasonable. I am looking forward to trying other things in it.

I haven't used it yet. I still have to season the rim and lid, but I love it. The color is great. Love me some HUNTER GREEN, DARK SAGE GREEN. THIS POT IS GREEAT!! I'M going to make the best fabulous shrimp dish and gumbo, and soups in this pot, oh and chicken and beef stews. YAASSS!!

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 only use this two to three times in the winter for soups and chili. When I had bought this I noticed a thin spot in the enamel inside. Well now this is popping off and exposing the cast iron. I will be returning since there is a life time warranty. So open it up and check it out. The inside turns dark no matter how you clean it.
