One star because the only reason why anyone would buy this is for the enamel coating. The enamel coating is not resilient. We've used and washed twice and enamel coating has chipped in three places; two on lid and one on one of the handles. This thing is nowhere near Le Creuset quality. Performance wise, well, it's heavy, and it's a dutch oven. I already own a Made in USA Lodge cast iron dutch oven and hoped the enamel would have been a nice addition. I'll be saving my money for a Le Creuset.....there is a factory store at State Line/Primm outlets.

Although it is heavy. I would not recommend for the very elderly. However is a good buy for the young Moms who still have those fine motor skills in their hands. Cooks Great. Easy to clean in the sink. Very worth the price. I bought two. Down side the store did not have variety of colors but am sure if you want other colors you can get them online.

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 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!

The sheet of instructions clearly state in bold letters, “OVEN SAFE UP TO 500 DEGREES”. However, in the use and care, in tiny letters it states the enamel surface is not recommended for dry cooking. Add liquid, butter or oil to the bottom prior to cooking. This I did not see and I preheated to 500 then turned down to 450, added the dough on parchment paper and baked it. When I took it out the enamel was all cracked. It is totally unusable and they will not replace the product as they say it is my fault. I say their instructions are VERY misleading!!!! I e also tried to attach a pic but it keeps giving me an error, go figure.

I hardly give reviews, but I decided to write something down this time around at least to save another customer from losing their money. Please believe every review here, despite all the negative feedback I decided to purchase it with the intention of being careful in handling it. I bought this 7-inch Tramontina Dutch oven from Sam's Club. I ordered it on November 23, 2022, and it was delivered on November 26, 2022. When I got it, I decided to boil water in it to help clean it before using it. After the water was cooled, I saw this rust on the rims of both the lid and the pan after the first use. I tried cleaning it, but the rust stain wouldn’t go away. Please don't waste your money and buy this, run away from it

It cooks food well and I love the color but the 2 stars are for the quality! The handle has a big chip in it and there is a small chip on the inside of the pot and this all happened shortly after I purchased it. I take great care of it and store it correctly. Contacted the company but they won't replace it because they said it is cosmetic. So disappointed.

I bought this two years ago and the enamel at the Bottom of the pot has wore away and has turned dark brown. It doesn't wash off and it is scratched to the iron. I think having a big dutch oven is versital but I have concerns with the integrity of the enamel coming off into my food or the rusty iron affecting the tast of the food as well.

It says that it is Oven safe up to 450 F° and 232 C° and Compatible with gas, electric, ceramic glass and induction cooktops. I used it on an electric range once (medium) and it burned off a section of the ceramic. Not the whole area that was on the burner. Just an odd area. Now I'm afraid to use it at all.

I purchased this a week ago, I seasoned rim of pot and lid as directed. I used it first time yesterday to make beef stew. It cooked fine stew came out great but when I tried to remove pot from burner it stuck to it. I hade to force it off of the burner and found it had stuck in three spots removing the enamel from the bottom of the pot in those three spots. I will be returning tomorrow for a refund. Too bad I was hoping that I got a good product at a great price. Not so. Maybe I should have used the Tramontina Induction burner instead of my stovetop electric coil burner. I may hold out for a Staub.
