I bought this for my daughter who had mentioned that she would like to have a Dutch oven. They were so much money that she didn't want to spend that much. They were way over $100.00. I saw this on the site. It was a great price and nice colors so I sent her one. She was thrilled! She kept saying how nice it was and the dark gray was really pretty. Little did she know that I had spent much less than she thought. She is hard to please and this was a big hit! Sam's does it again, quality without the high price.

Gifted the purple version to a family member for Christmas. She loves it. She has been wanting a cast iron Dutch oven for years and couldn’t decide which one to buy. So I made the choice for her. I like that it comes in a variety of colors so everyone can choose their favorite color or the perfect color to match their kitchen.

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!

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.

We’ve only used it a couple of times, but love it. It’s bigger and cheaper than most we compared it to. Love the bright red. Cleans super easy. And looks great when brought to gatherings. Only complaint would be the handle on top gets hot when cooking, so you have to wear an oven mit

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.

I recently received and have used my Tramontina Dutch oven 2 times. Presentation was beautiful and a perfect size for serving Gumbo. Heating was even and great to blend the vegetables with the roux. Adding broth was a smooth procedure. Personally, I like the Tramontina brand Cast Iron. The price is right and the quality has been great, so far. Yes, I bought an extra DO for my daughter in law. Holding it til later holiday. Will I buy more? If I have room to store the item.

Love this Dutch Oven! The 7qt size is perfect for our large family. We have cooked in it several times a week since we purchased it, both on the stovetop and in the oven, and I couldn’t be happier. The color is a cool metallic gray, like gunmetal. The weight and quality are (IMO) just as good as the much more expensive Dutch oven that my mother-in-law owns, and a fraction of the price. Totally worth it!

Bought this for my aunt who didn't have anything like this. She made a pot roast and raved about it. I have two like this and love them both. Heavy pot to withstand long slow cooking imparts awesome flavors. Beautiful and extremely easy to clean up. I this one cleans easier than the LeCreuset I paid $240 for. Great value. Thank you.

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.
