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.

I fought myself buying this because I couldn’t figure out how I’d use it. Silly me! I have used this many times in just theee weeks. I use it on the glass cooktop, in the oven and even used it to hold a centerpiece! It is well made and cooks evenly. Remember to use a hot mitt to remove the lid as the metal knob does get hot.

I bought this as a gift for my sister. I purchased one two years ago for our mother and ever since she has coveted it. Mama uses it all the time and loves the heavy duty pot that can go from stovetop to oven seamlessly. It is a great addition to any cook's arsenal.

My Wife has been wanting one for a long time. She wanted one for making fried chicken. One of her best dishes! When I saw the price($29), I made it a point to make to the one day sale(ordered it online and free shipping). And it came in her fav color, purple. It was for Christmas , but gave it to her early. She loves it. Her chicken cooks so well in it and I've made ham & bean. Gonna get other size. Best all around pot we ever got!

Covered dutch ovens were used by my Mother and Grandmother as they prepared meals for their families. These pots were massive and capacity and had to be handled with both hands because of the weight, even while empty. This Tramontina dutch oven is just like remember with my Mom and Grandmother. I didn't know they made them that way anymore.

I bought this to make great dishes like chili, potato soup, stews, etc. The only thing I didn't think about was the weight and it is a little heavy for me to pick up and move around on my smooth top stove, but I have managed the issued. Purple is my favorite color. The dishes are so delicious and it can be made in one pot.
