I really like this Dutch Oven - Love not only the Color choices but the versatility of the item. I cooked Tuna Noodle Casserole and those of you know it can create a mess of your pan and this cleaned up perfectly like new. Would definitely recommend.

I purchased this for my wife because she wanted one really badly and we’ve had it for a few years now. We’ve used it only few times now it has a chip inside the pot and we reached out to the company it’s self and they won’t help with the defect. Buyer beware if you get this and it’s gets messed up they won’t help you buy a different brand.

I have this pot about 4 years and loved it until today. I sautéed bacon, mushrooms and onion in the pot. When I stirred the mixture I realized that the enamel had chipped off the inside bottom of the pot and ruined my soup. I tried to contact the Manufacturer with no luck.

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!!!!!

SO disappointed. Bought this on a good sale and thought it would last me long enough until I could get a name brand one. I?m a regular pretty decent home cook and even followed all instructions in the package as to seasoning it before us. After that I used it no more than 5 times and this happened, I was shocked and so bummed. The bottom starting chipping away worse than cheap nail polish. I never used metal utensils, only wooden spoons. Save your money and get a REAL one.

I purchased this dutch oven about a year and a half ago and it now has 3 significant chips in the porcelain. I've only used wooden or plastic spoons with it and have carefully washed it by hand. I tried to get my receipt from my local Sams Club and they couldn't find it. Tramontina will not honor the lifetime guarantee if you can't produce a receipt. I guess if you got one as a gift, you're also out of luck.

My second one!

I have not used the Dutch oven yet. I would like the Customer Care Team that has been providing responses to customer's comments to answer my question, which follows. I'd like to know whether this Dutch oven contains any toxic substances, such as heavy metals like lead or cadmium in the enamel or pigments, especially in certain colors. There are reputable non-governmental websites online, including warnings by the federal government, which warn potential buyers that certain low cost Dutch ovens have contained toxic substances. Therefore, I would like to know what independent testing has been done, specifically, by certified independent labs, to test whether this Dutch oven contains any toxic materials. Also, what assurances does Sam's Club give that these ovens are non-toxic? I'm sure all buyers of this product would like to know the answer to these two questions. Thank you.

I have always coveted the Le Creuset cookware but couldn't justify a second mortgage to pay $300 for a pot. I saw the cheaper version of this at Walmart & the yearnings started all over. Unfortunately, it had a plastic looking knob that really turned me off. Then I saw this one at Sam's & the heavens opened.& the angels sang. I KNEW eventually I would have to go into therapy if I didn't get it. I wanted the blue but all they had left was the red. Okay, well, if I have to. It is a gorgeous glossy ruby red. The photo doesn't do it justice. In 4 days I've used it 3 times. I love it! It's replaced 2 pans that have gone in the donations box already. The ONLY drawback is it's heavy. Not for the cook w/ weak wrists or a bad back!!

I got the cranberry color with the gold pot handle, and it's one of the more gorgeous pots I own... or have owned, because I am returning it. I bought it today, and used it for dinner. The enamel chipped while washing it afterwards using a standard green/yellow sponge and dawn soap. I am very careful with my pots, and have another enamel pot that has lasted 4+ years without a single chip. Clearly the process they are using is inferior to other brands.
