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 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 recieved this beautiful pot today, great size, large enough for a family of 6+, quality is outstanding, and the price is unbeatable! Don't hesitate to make this purchase, we'll packaged and arrived in perfect shape! Dutch oven is very heavy because it is cast iron under the enamel coat, all-around happy with this purchase!

I just bought my dutch oven and have only cooked one meal in it. But so far, I love my dutch oven. It cooked evenly and quickly. And because the lid is heavy it helped seal in flavor. Not only did I order one for myself but I also got one for my daughter-in-law as a gift.

I recently added the 7 Qt Cast Iron Dutch Oven in matte sand to my kitchen, and it’s already proving to be a valuable tool. The color is absolutely stunning—matte sand is a perfect neutral that leans towards warm tones, making it a versatile addition to any kitchen décor. Functionality-wise, this Dutch oven has impressed me from the start. I used it to bake sourdough and make a hearty soup, and it performed beautifully in both cases. The heat distribution is excellent, and it handles long cooking times like a champ. However, it's worth noting that this is a heavy piece of cookware. While the weight gives it a solid, substantial feel—ideal for heat retention and even cooking—it can be a bit challenging to move around, especially when it’s full. I've only used it once so far, so I'm curious to see how it holds up over time. I have a 5.5 Qt Enameled Cast Iron Round Dutch Oven in white that unfortunately chipped, but this 7 Qt version is supposed to be more durable. The manufacturer highlights a different finishing process with three layers of porcelain-enamel exterior coating, designed to be chip-resistant and prevent rust. I’m hopeful that this new coating will live up to its promises and outlast the 5.5 quart. Overall, I'm pleased with the purchase, but the true test will be in its long-term durability.

I have been looking for a nice dutch oven for awhile but did not want to spend alot of money, I saw this at Sams and was floored by the price. I bought the teal one and have been so happy, it cooks like a dream and is so easy to clean. I looked online and could not believe the deal I got. A wonderful purchase, and beautiful addition to my kitchen.

I purchased this upon recommendation from a friend who loved hers. I have already used it to make some soups and the size is perfect to cook for our family of 5. I purchased the light blue because my first choice (golden-yellow) was out of stock, but the blue is very pretty and bright. I was, however, disappointed to find that the cover was slightly chipped at the edge exposing grey underneath. For the price its good just sad about the chip.

Love this dutch oven. It does not weigh nearly as much as the more expensive types, but it still is cast iron with a porcelain coating. In my opinion that's a win-win all the way around. With the LeCreuset dutch oven I can barely lift it to clean it, even when it's empty - this one is so much easier to handle, and for a fraction of the price!

Saw this in store a few times and said I'll buy it another day. Last week I finally gave in. Best purchase ever. Tonight I made beef stew. This pot was perfect for searing the beef and slowly cooking the stew. It turned out so good. Pot has even heating. Nice sturdy and a lifetime warranty, can't go wrong for $40.

I have been wanting one of these for years, but as others have said in their reviews I couldn't justify the price. When it went on sale $10 off the time was right! The first thing I made was chicken and dumplings. In my other pot, I had to cook them for a long time and add thickening to boot. This pot thickened my dumplings within an hour. At dinner, my husband tried them and asked me what I did differently (besides the new pot). I said nothing. The chicken and dumplings had a richer flavor somehow and were amazing! I LOVE it!!!
