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 bought this as a gift last Christmas and the person I bought this for just loves it and uses it all the time. I thought to myself why didn't I buy one for me. So this year it was my turn. Love the red. Shipping was fast, plus the size is great and most important is the cost, it compares to those high end ones and no one would ever know.

I liked this Cast Iron Dutch Oven so much that I bought four. Three were for gifts. It is very heavy, and everyone loved the rich red color. The first meal I made was an oven roast with all the trimmings. The roast was very tender, and I was pleased with the results. Second meal was stovetop frying... not quite as crisp as I was expecting, but still very good. The pan is easy to clean. All-in-all, I expect to use this Dutch Oven for years to come.

Have received this Dutch oven and was surprised at how heavy it was . I know that cast iron was heavy but expected it to be of lower quality. I am 73 years old and one of the pleasured I get out of life is cooking so I am very very fussy about my cooking equipment. I live on a minimum amount of SS so it is one of the few enjoyments I can afford. It has made me feel good about this purchase. I would recommend this to anybody. As a matter of fact (depending on how much I can afford it) I think I might purchase one for my daughter's Christmas gift.

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.

Not only a truly beautiful cast iron Dutch oven, but it's . . . well, it's cast iron, so it is perfect for cooking soups, stews, casseroles. It distributes the heat evenly during cooking process, so the food cooks evenly. The cast iron heats quickly, then cools quickly, and the enamel finish makes it so easy to clean. It is a very useful item for the kitchen, and looks good sitting on the shelf. I recommend it to anyone who cooks for a big family or who cooks big batches for freezing.

Beautiful and FUNctional! I purchased the Tramontina Enameled Cast Iron 7 qt dutch oven from Sams and it was a such a great price! It is probably the prettiest pot I have ever owned too! I just tried it out last weekend and it made a wonderful roast in an hour and a half! I got it in the gray - black color, it is gorgeous! It was easy clean up too but I hope it stays that way. I have read other dutch ovens need to be cleaned with hydrogen peroxide after awhile.

Love the size of this dutch oven for a great price. A little disappointed in the color. The purple is more of a burgundy. The color is the reason I gave 4 stars instead of 5. Still beautiful but not what I thought I was purchasing. This was a gift for someone.

Didn't buy this for myself, so hard to review. Looks very nice (just a couple small blemishes in the finish that hopefully won't affect its use). Very heavy. I did read comments about oiling the exposed cast iron, so he's done that. Don't think he's used it yet, as it will be a new experience. Need to find a good recipe for him to try with it. I'd get one for myself if I had room to store it without worrying about damaging it.

I have had this dutch oven for a few years and recently purchased one for my daughter. I don't know how I got along without it before that. It is excellent for roasting, braising, stews, and as a bread baker. Clean up is easy even with baked on messes. Every cook should have one of these and at this low price there is no reason they shouldn't.
