I love Sam's Club special promotions! This one was excellent as expected; I purchased TWO of these covered dutch ovens, one Red and the other Blue. They are exactly as I expected; the quality is exceptional as is the finish, construction, packaging, and overall fit. I can't wait to use these on my gas range or in the oven! I would HIGHLY recommend that you purchase these since they are truly an excellent value.

I bought myself the Tramontina Enameled Cast Iron 6.5 Qt Covered Round Dutch Oven in teal for myself last year. I love it and use it often. It's pretty and functional! I bought one for my mother-in-law last year, and one for my mother this year as Christmas gifts! The only draw back is the weight of the pot. Because it's a 6.5 qt cast iron pot it can be quite heavy to pick up.

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 bought this online and it arrived in 2 or 3 days. So I washed it and made chicken potpie (rolled out dough) The cast iron is all that I can think of as to why this batch of chicken potpie was so much better. I doubled the recipe and it was a good think that I did. This heats evenly, the lid fits tightly and yet allows a small venting. Clean up was so easy. And I really do mean easy. The Dutch Oven is HEAVY. But they all are very heavy. And my age and a really damaged wrist, hand didn't make things any easier. But I had my husband hold one side and I held the other to dump into the serving bowl, though it could have easily been served right out of the oven itself. As a matter of fact I am making chicken pot pie again tomorrow and after that Julia Child's Boeuf Bourguignon. I have made it many, many times but not in a cast iron dutch oven. It's a time consuming dish to make but I'm very anxious to see how this new dutch oven works. I think it's wonderful. And the price is really excellent. Give it a try and Bon Appetit!

This pot is a good heavy soup/stick pot. I’ve only used it a few times since purchasing so I can’t speak to durability. But it heats nice, and the 2 soups and few other dishes came out great. I will say, I ordered the purple, and The actual color is very different than that in the picture. It’s not bad, but definitely more of a raspberry than a dark purple. And that’s why my review is 4 stars.

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 purchased one for myself, I did not want to spend tons of money on a big name brand. Love it! Perfect family size. I was given the advice to place the bottom from a coffee can ( large use can opener ) on the burner to keep the bottom from scorching. It worked great and distributes the heat very well. I loved it so much, I ordered my sister one for Christmas!

I wanted an oval shaped cast iron roaster. From the photo online, this looked just right. Plus there were many colors from which to choose! That was a big plus! I was very disappointed to see when it arrived that it was round! I went back online to look again, it wasn’t obvious. And I didn’t see it stated just what shape it was. So, I returned it.

I love cooking in a Dutch oven. I have a Le Creuset and this by Tramontina and they both perform exceptionallt well. I have had the le Creuset for 12-13 years now, and the Tramontina I was a recent gift, so time will tell how it holds up. I love it! Wish they made a bigger size!

LOVE my new Dutch oven! I have a few pieces of cast iron, but when I saw this enameled one, had to have it. Easier to clean than my non-enameled cast, and I love the cobalt color. Got it on sale online and free shipping, so that's a big bonus. Making a pot roast in it this weekend!
