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 love, love this dutch oven. I have purchased multiple times, one as a wedding present, a red one and gave it to my son because he wanted it, purchased a green one and gave it to my daughter, Mines is larger and prettier and I am not giving it away.

I absolutely love my dutch ovens. I bought a 7 qt and a 5 quart one. It holds heat so..... don't treat it like your regular cookware or you'll be sorry. I made chili on Warm in my pot. It was boiling after a couple of hours. If I can get Sam's to do a 2 pack in like a 2 or 3 quart, I'll be set.

This dutch oven is quality. Very heavy and super functional. I can use it stove top or oven. I have purchased one for just about all of my family members. Giving a gift of a cleaning product or kitchen anything is usually a re-gift but not this item. The price for the value is over the top.

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.

I have used this for several cooking methods and have been very pleased. I have been wanting an item that I can use that would go from the cooktop to the oven easily and this did just that! It was a simple clean and the color stayed beautiful. Very happy with this purchase

I purchased 2 of these Dutch ovens for Christmas gifts. After seeing how excited my daughter-in-law was about hers, I decided to purchase one for myself. We own a motor home, travel frequently, and I like to use my induction cooktop while traveling. The fact I could use this pot at home and on the road was an added plus. Beautiful visually and performs wonderfully. The only con is,that when it is full of food it is heavy for me (65 yrs old) to handle on my own. Otherwise, I highly recommend this item.

I can't give it 5 stars because it stains easily. I chose the 7 qt enamel cast iron dutch oven in pearl white. When I say it is BEAUTIFUL..believe me. Beautiful! The only downfall is that after cooking anything in it, it shows stains. So I give it careful attention when scrubbing away the stains as not to scratch or scuff the enamel. However, it does hold up to its claims...even cooking on low heat. Fast cooking on low heat...BEAUTIFUL. I wished I'd purchased the 3qt and 5qts as well at the sale price eventhough they didnt come in the pearl white...

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 ordered this item online, it was delivered really fast. It cooks really even on medium to low just like the instructions say. I cooked pork with vegetables, in one hour it was all tender and the house smelled so yummy. I highly recommend it. Enjoy!
