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.

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.

These days, so many times I am disappointed by the misrepresentation of a item purchased. Receiving instead, a cheap knock-off of the pictured item. This is not such an experience, and is spot-on for quality, and an exceptional value as an added perk. I have two, and will be thrilled to have multiples for extended time cooking of two recipes. Make sure to follow directions to season the sealing edges - it is excellent advice.

I purchased one for myself, I did not want to spend tons of money on a big name brand. Love it! Perfect family size. I was given the advice to place the bottom from a coffee can ( large use can opener ) on the burner to keep the bottom from scorching. It worked great and distributes the heat very well. I loved it so much, I ordered my sister one for Christmas!

Always wanted a large soup kettle, finally made the splurge. The dark Navy color with gold knob is just stunning. I have been cooking up soups every week and it is easy in this large pot with plenty of room and non stick. Cooks evenly too. Heavy when washing, but not an issue as the pot is great quality cast iron. Love it!

Dutch Ovens are the best pot in your kitchen and it often becomes a family heirloom. I purchase this Dutch Oven in Teal Blue and it is a beautiful as the picture. This oven was a gift to someone new to cooking. The wonderful things people discovered while staying at home…”Cooking you say…what is that?” One meal out of the Dutch Oven and suddenly they’re a Chef…. funny what an oven will do. It currently gets used every Sunday and I get to hear all about the tender roast, the moist chicken, spare ribs, etc. For those buying the Instant Pot great appliance (I recently purchased) HOWEVER the Dutch provides the same tenderness and the overall cooking times are the same. You can also open it if you want add seasoning, check it see if you need to add more time or not, and it can be opened right away. The only time I would not recommend a Dutch oven is if you can not lift beyond 10lbs from the oven and I would caution seniors to get a smaller one due to the weight. It also gets EXTREMLY Hot so be cautious. Other than that I absolutely love my Dutch oven and as for the cast iron skillet...its not a myth cast iron skillets are the best skillet you will ever buy.

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.

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.

I have one of these in blue and love it so I bought one for my son in law in black for Christmas he loves it also . It’s great for making soups, stews and whatever else you can think of. I like the fact that it’s deep. I have other Dutch ovens also by the same company and love them also.

Excellent for sour dough baking
