This purchase was for a Christmas gift and I have not heard an opinion from the person who received it, but I have this same dutch oven and I really like it. You do need to remember to season it before using. Somehow mine has gotten a chip in the enamel on the handle, but that's not a big deal. It is a good heavy dutch oven that looks pretty.

Great product - highly recommend! This is my 2nd Tramontina Dutch oven after heavily using my first. Like the 7 qt size and have already made spaghetti sauce and chiIi for the cool Fall days and upcoming winter. Eager to try other items such as roasts and bread. Recently gave one as a gift and think this makes a fun and functional gift for any and all. For the money, you can’t beat this quality. I highly recommend it.

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 would love to say I use this all the time but I had to give it to my daughter; I'm a senior citizen and it was too heavy to lift up and down. Being that you had to be careful how you stored it, I didn't have any place where it couldn't be stacked with other pans. Would have loved it when I was younger.

This is a great pot. The price is excellent. I have lots of more expensive Le Creuset and this pot is just as good. In fact, a better deal for the price. I love the size. It’s perfect for simmering and making soups and stews, one pot dinners, etc. I’ve already used it many times. It is very heavy but then it’s cast iron so that should be expected and it’s one of the reasons it cooks so well. Either stove top or oven it performed wonderfully. It cleans up well in the dishwasher and even by hand. I would definitely recommend it. It would make a wonderful gift for someone of even yourself.

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 had this dutch oven for a few years and recently purchased one for my daughter. I don't know how I got along without it before that. It is excellent for roasting, braising, stews, and as a bread baker. Clean up is easy even with baked on messes. Every cook should have one of these and at this low price there is no reason they shouldn't.

I bought this for my daughter who had mentioned that she would like to have a Dutch oven. They were so much money that she didn't want to spend that much. They were way over $100.00. I saw this on the site. It was a great price and nice colors so I sent her one. She was thrilled! She kept saying how nice it was and the dark gray was really pretty. Little did she know that I had spent much less than she thought. She is hard to please and this was a big hit! Sam's does it again, quality without the high price.

Absolutely gorgeous dutch oven. I purchased this to use for baking no knead bread. Works perfectly and produces a crispy on the outside but tender on the inside sourdough loaf. It’s also a great size for soup, chili, or stew. I’m super happy with this purchase.

I should have paid attention to how much it weighed, but neglected to do so and couldn't even lift it when empty. It is a fantastic dutch oven, but I had to return it and buy the lighter weight 6 piece Tramontina set with the 5qt dutch oven.Now I have 4pcs that I really don't need.
