Seems very heavy and durable but already has rust near top seam where lid sits after one use. The inside is coated ceramic that stains very easily. The top rim where the lid sits on the pot is not coated, and rusts built up staining the ceramic around. I did not leave the pot in water. It rusted the first time I used it. Not happy with purchase, even though it was inexpensive.

It might be too soon to write a review (since I haven't used it yet) but I took a chance and ordered this dutch oven after lusting for them for many years. I could never bring myself to spend as much as the high end ones cost. Free shipping tipped the scale and I took the plunge. This pot is HEAVY. It's as heavy as the more expensive ones. The lid and handle are well made. The handle is screwed on. Although my kitchen has French red accents I chose the metallic one. It looks like a dark gray/pewter color. I love it. Can't wait to try it out soon.

I was drooling over this pot for a couple of years. I finally decided to buy it. I love it❣️ its my go to pot. I've cooked everything from soup, chili, pot roast, spaghetti etc... It cooks evenly. Easy clean up, very well made. I def recommend. Great value as well.

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 Dutch oven is awesome quality. It's pretty heavy though, so keep that in mind if you have any trouble picking up heavy items. I have arthritis and carpel tunnel/wrist issues, and I won't be able to get it in and out of the oven without assistance. And that's with nothing in it. It's still a very nice piece so I'm keeping it. Just get some help when I need it. Colors are super nice as well. Will most likely last a lifetime!

I bought this Dutch oven because I have been stalking it for a while and when I saw it was going to be on sale, I knew I had to have it. The price is great even without it being on sale most places sale it for almost double the price without the metal knob. The Dutch oven is very heavy and the color is beautiful, I bought the titanium one. It seemed to heat evenly and what I've cooked in it so far came out beautifully. My only regret is I didn't buy it sooner.

I have had this dutch oven for a few years. It's my absolute favorite piece of cookware. I use it for everything. I bake bread in it. I make jelly in it and of course soups, stews and braises. I have bought one for my mother,sister and both daughters. They love it too. Now empty nested I would love for Sam's to offer a 4 quart version.

I started making artisan-style bread and my cast iron skillet with lid was too shallow. I got this because it’s the best price you can find anywhere and the reviews were promising. I ordered the spruce color and it’s GORGEOUS. I’ve already made 2 loaves and we ate them quickly. The quality is solid and the value is unbeatable.I’ve yet to make anything else with this, but I’m certain it will be good.

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!

Sent this to my son, who is a great cook, as he had been wanting one for a long time. I use mine often it is the best way to cook a roast for instance, results are always perfect. It was such a good deal online, on the one day sale, and with free shipping, this was the easiest and most welcome Christmas gift so far this season!
