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 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 bought this as a gift last Christmas and the person I bought this for just loves it and uses it all the time. I thought to myself why didn't I buy one for me. So this year it was my turn. Love the red. Shipping was fast, plus the size is great and most important is the cost, it compares to those high end ones and no one would ever know.

I love this dutch oven but the lid on it is so heavy I wish I would of checked it out in the store before I had it shipped I wouldn't of bought it but it's a beautiful dutch oven. I wish they would put in the ads when something is heavy when you go to buy it just so people know. It's not like I live 5 miles from Sam's I live 40 miles from there but I will keep it because I do like it I just don't like the lid. I bought 2 of these...

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 recently received and have used my Tramontina Dutch oven 2 times. Presentation was beautiful and a perfect size for serving Gumbo. Heating was even and great to blend the vegetables with the roux. Adding broth was a smooth procedure. Personally, I like the Tramontina brand Cast Iron. The price is right and the quality has been great, so far. Yes, I bought an extra DO for my daughter in law. Holding it til later holiday. Will I buy more? If I have room to store the item.

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 was looking for a large Dutch Oven to replace another 6 quart pot that I had so that I could use it in and on the range. I've used it about 5 times so far and I have no complaints. It was inexpensive and it looks and cooks great. I think it's a steal.

Just what I wanted, I have wanted a Dutch oven for a while. I found this one on sale on Sams website, and couldn’t be happier. My first meal I cooked came out perfect as well as the following Ones. If you are a cook with stews,breads, and veggies, you will love how well your meals come out.

I bought this as a Christmas gift for my daughter. When I saw this in the persimmon color I thought it was perfect. With it being cast iron and also coated on the inside for easy cleaning, it was great. It can very well packaged and shipping quickly.
