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.

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 ordered the Blue one and it was prettier in person than what it looked like online. It came perfectly packed. I recommend keeping the black rubber spacers for storage when the pot is not in use. I used it to slow cook beef short ribs and they came out perfectly. I recommend this crockpot.

We just received ours less than a week ago. Used it twice, electric cook top never above medium high heat, no metal tools, Dobie pad and Dawn for cleaning. There are multiple chips on the bottom surface. Very disappointing. Feels like I just tossed out $53.

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 seen dutch ovens before and have always been expensive. Last year when shopping at local Sam's Club, it was on sale. A value I felt I could not pass up! I am so happy I purchased it. I love to cook soups, stews, and casseroles. Its big enough to fit a whole chicken. The drawback is that the item is heavy. After cooking, and pot has cooled, I soak it and it comes clean easily.

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.

This is actually the fourth, yes, 4th, Tramontina Dutch oven I’ve purchased! I bought one for myself and absolutely loved it! Then purchased one for each of my daughters and they loved theirs! I’ve now purchased a fourth for my niece and she will love it! It’s every bit as good as Le Creuset but costs far less!

Just bought this last night in club, the Latte with Gold Knob. The only two choices was Latte or Black. I haven't used it yet but the information on the box was confusing. It plainly shows the 7qt is an Oval, the 5.5qt is round and comes as a 4 pc set. What's in the box is a 5.5qt round although the box certainly states this is a 7qt. IT IS NOT. After considering the information on the box I decided to check for myself. 6qts of water filled the Dutch Oven slap up and one would never cook soup or a stew,etc. filled to the absolute brim, so I think it's safe to say this is a 5.5qt. I will be returning it because if I'm willing to settle for the 5.5qt, I can order it and get the 4pc set that's included for the same price as this phony 7qt.

About a month ago, I purchased this dutch oven in red. This is my first experience trying this brand. Several years ago, I purchased a smaller oval dutch oven from a French manufacturer ($374.) Well, I have used this Tramontina dutch oven several times and it cooks better than my expensive one. It is not only beautiful, but it cooks evenly without sticking plus no staining of the interior and what a savngs. I am a very happy customer.
