I got the Dutch oven in red for Christmas and just love it! You can't go wrong with this pot! It heats evenly, retains heat and it can be on stove top and oven. Hand washing is a breeze. I use one of those flat rubber pot scrubbers and cleans beautifully. Read directions. Do not use a hand mixer. It is enameled cast iron so you need some muscles, as with all cast iron pot. Especially when filled with beef stew, roasts , chili or soups. Buying some for the kids at Christmas. Oh! The price is unbelievable! If you compare to any other enameled cast iron pot, it can be upwards of $200-$300!

I bought this in a beautiful burgundy color because it was a great price- I thought it looks nice and well made, how bad can it be? Let me tell you I was not disappointed. It performs very well and is a great low cost addition to my kitchen cookware. If I were to say anything negative, it would be that the weight is heavy for me and when you add the food it is even heavier of course. I usually put the dutch oven without the lid into the oven first, then put on the lid. Clean up is easy after I soak the pan in hot soapy water a bit. I have made many pot roasts, lamb shanks and lamb shoulder meals as well as no-knead breads in it (I have a smaller 4.5 qt Tramontina dutch oven as well that I normally use for the bread). Very happy with it!

I purchased this for my wife because she wanted one really badly and we’ve had it for a few years now. We’ve used it only few times now it has a chip inside the pot and we reached out to the company it’s self and they won’t help with the defect. Buyer beware if you get this and it’s gets messed up they won’t help you buy a different brand.

I purchased this dutch oven about a year and a half ago and it now has 3 significant chips in the porcelain. I've only used wooden or plastic spoons with it and have carefully washed it by hand. I tried to get my receipt from my local Sams Club and they couldn't find it. Tramontina will not honor the lifetime guarantee if you can't produce a receipt. I guess if you got one as a gift, you're also out of luck.

This is a fantastic pot! I use it almost everyday, and just leave it in my stove after I hand wash it and dry it. Beautiful colors to choose from. It is heavy, but it is durable and such a good price! No need to pay hundreds of dollars for other brands when this is cheaper and great quality!

I bought this Dutch oven recently in the Charcoal color and I am super satisfied with its looks and performance. So far, I've cooked crawfish etouffee, shrimp pasta and cube steaks with onions and gravy (that dish required placing the pot in the oven for 45 minutes). All dishes cooked to perfection and the cleaned pot still looks brand new inside and out. Yes, it is heavy as cast iron is supposed to be. It does not need to and should not be used on high heat. A medium to medium hi is good enough to cook your food deliciously and still preserve the looks of this pot. And at this sale price, it is a complete bargain for the home cook. The available colors are also amazing and would make great, affordable gifts. Don't waste your money on more expensive pots of this kind. This is a keeper! Don't pass it up.

I have never baked bread in my life but decided to give it a shot. There is a viral cheese bread recipe that I wanted to try and since it was on sale, I went ahead and purchased the Tramontina bread Dutch oven. I also purchased this 7-qt Tramontina Dutch oven because the set is so beautiful. My husband kept asking me over and over again, you didn't use a package for this? No, no I did not. I made it from scratch with my own two hands! I was so inspired, I decided to make cioppino (seafood soup) to go with the cheesy garlic bread. So I also purchased this 7-quart Dutch oven. (The cranberry and gold combination are stunning!) HE WENT CRAZY!! I have made so many wonderful dishes (including the fabulous potato leek soup pictured below) thanks to these two beautiful Dutch ovens. They are gorgeous, elegant, easy to use and clean up very well. I can't wait to make more recipes!!

Cooks just as good as the expensive ones. I have made many things in it in the 3 weeks that I've owned it including, country style ribs, pot roast, marshmallow crisp treats, & potato soup. Sprayed with non-stick spray, NOTHING has stuck to it. Absolutely a breeze to clean up.

I have this pot about 4 years and loved it until today. I sautéed bacon, mushrooms and onion in the pot. When I stirred the mixture I realized that the enamel had chipped off the inside bottom of the pot and ruined my soup. I tried to contact the Manufacturer with no luck.

Beautiful Dutch oven
