I bought 2 Dutch Ovens thru Sam's, 1 is for a college graduate and another one will be a gift. I had my old PURPLE one still in use & works perfectly every time. Dutch oven cooking saves me a lot of time by not worrying about water-dried-out issue. It also takes me only 45 minutes medium heat cooking for my favorite meat dish instead of old 2 hrs+ using other type of cookware. Love it !!!

I purchased one years ago for myself. I have an induction cooktop and wanted a deep pot to cook items in. This item was at a great price and came in colors I couldn't find elsewhere. Not a single issue with it. I recently purchased one for my mother-in-law as well. She has nothing but good things to say about it.

I should have paid attention to how much it weighed, but neglected to do so and couldn't even lift it when empty. It is a fantastic dutch oven, but I had to return it and buy the lighter weight 6 piece Tramontina set with the 5qt dutch oven.Now I have 4pcs that I really don't need.

We have bought 7 of these Tramontina Enamaled Cast Iron 6.5 At. Covered Round Dutch Ovens. Five are for gifts. I use one in the house for soups and stews. The best use I have found is that it is just the right size for making jams, jellies and brine for pickles. The temperature is very easy to maintain while cooking. No hot spots. Easy clean up. The other one we use outside to deep fry our catfish. I would recommend this to all.

I bought this dutch oven becauseI ruined my old stainless steel pot. A friend has one and she told me how great they are. I am definately not sorry I purchased this. In fact I lijed it so well, I also ordered ine for my daughter's birthday n Christmas present combined. Also the ability to cook with a lower heat is a real plus for better tasting food.

I read the reviews, including the one in The Test Kitchen's Dutch Oven book and those on-line, then I saw the price at Sam's. Had to give it a try and went with it. Follow the directions on the box for seasoning the rim of the lid and pan and you are good. You have to remember it is a cast iron pan covered with enamel to a point. Just give the edges of the lid and pan a rub with oil now and then, just like cast iron pans, and you should be fine. Love this dutch oven!

I bought this dutch oven because it was enamelled. I have two others and I will use this in place of the non-enamelled one that I have which I still use. I will use this for bread, soups, stews, slow baking, etc. I find that I use dutch ovens more often in place of my oven and slow cooker. I recently made a beef stew using a Southern Living recipe which closely matched what I had at the family table when I was much younger and was happy with the results. I just washed it and seasoned the rims on the oven and lid and touch it up after using it.

This is a beautiful piece.it is a deep, rich blueceith a cream colored interior. I have used it about 3 times since receiving it. I sprayed it with a good quality precooking spray before using and after cooking stewand then spaghetti sauce it cleaned up effortlessly. It cooks evenly and works on my induction cook top. I am going to try it in the oven tomorrow to make No Knead Bread . I can't wait to see how it performs!

This Dutch Oven is everything you hope for and then some,it performs superbly, thick walled,enameled cast iron, from searing to braising, it retains it heat. Comparable to much more pricier ones. It is even rated as a recommended buy in Cooks magazine. Have fun and enjoy all the benefits of awesomely cooked foods you will eat......

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.
