Love the Dutch oven, box states that it is for temperatures Up to 450 degrees. I have made 3 loaves of sourdough bread which require the first 25 mins to be baked at 500 degrees and have not had an issue so far. All artisan breads are started at 500 degrees and lowered after. Maybe temp is a disclaimer, I did but pot especially for the bread baking.

I would love to say I use this all the time but I had to give it to my daughter; I'm a senior citizen and it was too heavy to lift up and down. Being that you had to be careful how you stored it, I didn't have any place where it couldn't be stacked with other pans. Would have loved it when I was younger.

I bought the merchandise knowing that it is a good product to have I love cooking and cooking in it I cook almost everything in it it is a great product to cook it I would do so many things with it and would not know what to do if I did not have it man thank you it is so great to own this product

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.

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......

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.

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.

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.

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.

My Dutch oven arrived on time in a well protected package. It is a beautiful blue color. It’s big enough to cook my favorite whole wheat bread in the oven and I am able to stew my favorite meats and veggies. I’m glad I chose this size because it can do everything for me large or small. It’s easy to clean. And you can’t beat the price.
