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.

I have been looking for a long time to find a Dutch oven that is substantial in size and quality at a great value. I was concerned when I first saw this having to order sight unseen, however was so pleased when it arrived. It is not only extremely well made but it has a beautiful finish as well. I have already used it several times and love the results. Definitely would recommend.

I love cooking in a Dutch oven. I have a Le Creuset and this by Tramontina and they both perform exceptionallt well. I have had the le Creuset for 12-13 years now, and the Tramontina I was a recent gift, so time will tell how it holds up. I love it! Wish they made a bigger size!

LOVE my new Dutch oven! I have a few pieces of cast iron, but when I saw this enameled one, had to have it. Easier to clean than my non-enameled cast, and I love the cobalt color. Got it on sale online and free shipping, so that's a big bonus. Making a pot roast in it this weekend!

This is an extremely low cost dutch oven for its size. So the old advice of 'pay less, get less' applies here. However, this size is not something that I would use very often, as there are just 2 of us in my household. I think that it will serve me adequately till I die, age 69. I just used it today to make a shrimp & corn chowder and the roux stuck to the bottom of the pot if I didn't continually stir it. However, it was an easy clean up and the heat was pretty well distributed. I let it soak for a while and used a plastic scrubber. I might add that the instructions say to dispose of the silicone pads that are used in shipping. I'm keeping mine to use in storage so that the lid & the rim will be less likely to chip. At the same time as this, I purchased a 7.5 qt Lodge Dutch oven at Walmart. It was a few pounds heavier (not good for my hands) and oval in shape, double the price. I wanted to have some comparison and I chose this oven due to lighter weight, better shape, & lower price. I returned the Lodge.

My Wife has been wanting one for a long time. She wanted one for making fried chicken. One of her best dishes! When I saw the price($29), I made it a point to make to the one day sale(ordered it online and free shipping). And it came in her fav color, purple. It was for Christmas , but gave it to her early. She loves it. Her chicken cooks so well in it and I've made ham & bean. Gonna get other size. Best all around pot we ever got!

This seems like it’s going to be a good Dutch oven-nice and heavy and very pretty- but it’s a Christmas gift for someone, so I won’t know until later. It did go on sale after I ordered it and I couldn’t find a way to get a price adjustment, so that was a bummer for me.

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 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 read the reviews, including the one in The Test Kitchen's Dutch Oven book and those on-line, then I saw the price at Sam's. Had to give it a try and went with it. Follow the directions on the box for seasoning the rim of the lid and pan and you are good. You have to remember it is a cast iron pan covered with enamel to a point. Just give the edges of the lid and pan a rub with oil now and then, just like cast iron pans, and you should be fine. Love this dutch oven!
