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.

I was interested in this Dutch Oven because of the price, it was the lowest I've seen. Before I decided to buy I checked the reviews and saw that many people loved it. Based off the reviews and price I bought one and I can say it was a great purchase. I use it almost every night. I would HIGHLY recommend getting one!!

Disappointed After my first meal cooking with everything was charred I said to myself it's my fault, I didn't put enough oil or the fire too strong. Second dish and despite all my attention the meal has charred. Everything sticks to the bottom I think the enamel is of poor quality and not regular. I no longer use it but now it rusts and is no longer usable. I just spread 50 bucks in the trash.

We have had this item for over a year and I would say that we use it at least 3 times a week, if not more. We have not had any of the problems that have been disclosed by other customers, so am thinking that there may have been a defect in those items. We use it for anything, from sautéing, to making stews, chowders and soups, to pasta dishes and slow cooked roasts. I have smacked mine against my cabinet and have put blemishes on the enamel, however my fault. However, it still looks wonderful and cooks great! I was just telling my daughter, that I would love one in every color! Excellent cookware!!!!!

Beautiful and big. Wonderful for making stovetop soups or using it in the oven. However, I wish it was dishwasher safe, because it is soooo heavy. I have a hard time picking it up and moving it around to clean it. Sometimes I feel like it is not worth the bother, so I don't use it.

I do a lot of slow cooking, so my mom got me one of these a month ago for my birthday. I was a bit concerned about how often I would actually use it and where I would be able to store it due its size and heft. After using it once for brisket I completely fell head over heals in love with it; and all concerns fell away. I got 4 uses out of it and on the 5th use while heating it, I heard a loud ¡¡POP!! Some of the interior enamel bursted off. I called my mom, she said it came from Sam's Club but no longer had the receipt. I decided to call Tramontina and they emailed me a shipping label and I dropped it off at a FedEx and it's been less than a week, but they are already sending me a new one. So even though I had a problem with the pot, I do love it and they hold true to their warranty and it's been easy to acquire a replacement. I understand manufacturing flaws happen, but I love the Tramontina brand and they really came through. I can't wait for the new one to arrive.

I bought this in a beautiful burgundy color because it was a great price- I thought it looks nice and well made, how bad can it be? Let me tell you I was not disappointed. It performs very well and is a great low cost addition to my kitchen cookware. If I were to say anything negative, it would be that the weight is heavy for me and when you add the food it is even heavier of course. I usually put the dutch oven without the lid into the oven first, then put on the lid. Clean up is easy after I soak the pan in hot soapy water a bit. I have made many pot roasts, lamb shanks and lamb shoulder meals as well as no-knead breads in it (I have a smaller 4.5 qt Tramontina dutch oven as well that I normally use for the bread). Very happy with it!

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.

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.

I bought this Dutch oven recently in the Charcoal color and I am super satisfied with its looks and performance. So far, I've cooked crawfish etouffee, shrimp pasta and cube steaks with onions and gravy (that dish required placing the pot in the oven for 45 minutes). All dishes cooked to perfection and the cleaned pot still looks brand new inside and out. Yes, it is heavy as cast iron is supposed to be. It does not need to and should not be used on high heat. A medium to medium hi is good enough to cook your food deliciously and still preserve the looks of this pot. And at this sale price, it is a complete bargain for the home cook. The available colors are also amazing and would make great, affordable gifts. Don't waste your money on more expensive pots of this kind. This is a keeper! Don't pass it up.
