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.

I purchased 2 of these Dutch ovens for Christmas gifts. After seeing how excited my daughter-in-law was about hers, I decided to purchase one for myself. We own a motor home, travel frequently, and I like to use my induction cooktop while traveling. The fact I could use this pot at home and on the road was an added plus. Beautiful visually and performs wonderfully. The only con is,that when it is full of food it is heavy for me (65 yrs old) to handle on my own. Otherwise, I highly recommend this item.

Beautiful and FUNctional! I purchased the Tramontina Enameled Cast Iron 7 qt dutch oven from Sams and it was a such a great price! It is probably the prettiest pot I have ever owned too! I just tried it out last weekend and it made a wonderful roast in an hour and a half! I got it in the gray - black color, it is gorgeous! It was easy clean up too but I hope it stays that way. I have read other dutch ovens need to be cleaned with hydrogen peroxide after awhile.

Love the Dutch oven, box states that it is for temperatures Up to 450 degrees. I have made 3 loaves of sourdough bread which require the first 25 mins to be baked at 500 degrees and have not had an issue so far. All artisan breads are started at 500 degrees and lowered after. Maybe temp is a disclaimer, I did but pot especially for the bread baking.

This dutch oven is quality. Very heavy and super functional. I can use it stove top or oven. I have purchased one for just about all of my family members. Giving a gift of a cleaning product or kitchen anything is usually a re-gift but not this item. The price for the value is over the top.

This is the largest Dutch oven I own. It cooks everything evenly. It is large enough for an 8 lb roast plus vegetables with space left over. The quality is excellent. The only drawback is the weight. It is just a tad heavy so you’ll need some muscles to move it around especially when full. I would definitely recommend this.

Love the size of this dutch oven for a great price. A little disappointed in the color. The purple is more of a burgundy. The color is the reason I gave 4 stars instead of 5. Still beautiful but not what I thought I was purchasing. This was a gift for someone.

I recently received and have used my Tramontina Dutch oven 2 times. Presentation was beautiful and a perfect size for serving Gumbo. Heating was even and great to blend the vegetables with the roux. Adding broth was a smooth procedure. Personally, I like the Tramontina brand Cast Iron. The price is right and the quality has been great, so far. Yes, I bought an extra DO for my daughter in law. Holding it til later holiday. Will I buy more? If I have room to store the item.

I was looking for a large Dutch Oven to replace another 6 quart pot that I had so that I could use it in and on the range. I've used it about 5 times so far and I have no complaints. It was inexpensive and it looks and cooks great. I think it's a steal.

I have used this for several cooking methods and have been very pleased. I have been wanting an item that I can use that would go from the cooktop to the oven easily and this did just that! It was a simple clean and the color stayed beautiful. Very happy with this purchase
