I love everything about this dutch oven, used it over the recent holiday and it performed beatifully and looked so good while doing it. The heat dispersion and retention abilities are excellent. The price is what I would expect to have paid for some aluminum junk (29) not coated cast iron. The clean up is very simple unlike non-coated cast iron products which require special handling. The pot is heavy so two hands are required to ensure you don't drop it on the floor and hurt your foot.

I have had this dutch oven for a few years. It's my absolute favorite piece of cookware. I use it for everything. I bake bread in it. I make jelly in it and of course soups, stews and braises. I have bought one for my mother,sister and both daughters. They love it too. Now empty nested I would love for Sam's to offer a 4 quart version.

I have not used this dutch oven yet, but am very pleased with the style and overall appearance. I have several recipes that call for cast iron dutch ovens, I didn't want to have to season a pan and worry about rusting. This pan is excellent, will let you know how well I like it after I prepare a meal in it. It is extremely heavy but it has to be for oven cooking.

I’ve had my Dutch oven for a year now, have the smaller of the set to my mom, and we both LOVE this thing. I have used it for everything and am about to purchase two sets for my daughter in law and niece. And they are very nice to look a as well. Highly recommend. The only possible downside is they are a little heavy but that’s probably what makes them so good.

Gave as gifts last year, filled with foodie goodies. Bought extras for me! Gave more for Christmas this year. Purchased my first one 2 years ago. The original one has darkened inside at the bottom, but the exterior still looks like new! I have used it a LOT! It is my favorite pot. I lost a small bit of the ceramic glaze at the bottom of the pot one day when I added cold broth to a hot pot, but, other than that and the discolored bottom, it's looks and cooks like new. My extras are still in the box. LOVE this pot!

I wished for this fir Christmas and got the double set with the 7 qt and 4 qt. I didn’t need those sizes so I returned them and got this 6 quart one in Purple. It is beautiful. I read all of the instructions and seasoned the exposed cast iron areas. The pot that I got has two handles which already makes it superior to my original non-enameled Dutch oven. Cooked chicken and dumplings just the other day and they were terrific. This Dutch oven will be a staple in my kitchen and a beautiful pan to take soups and stews to church pot lucks. I highly recommend this pan despite the bad reviews. Most of the bad reviews are from several years ago so I believe they must’ve fixed some of those problems.

Love this dutch oven. It does not weigh nearly as much as the more expensive types, but it still is cast iron with a porcelain coating. In my opinion that's a win-win all the way around. With the LeCreuset dutch oven I can barely lift it to clean it, even when it's empty - this one is so much easier to handle, and for a fraction of the price!

Sent this to my son, who is a great cook, as he had been wanting one for a long time. I use mine often it is the best way to cook a roast for instance, results are always perfect. It was such a good deal online, on the one day sale, and with free shipping, this was the easiest and most welcome Christmas gift so far this season!

I use this cast iron often - it heats evenly - super easy to clean and I've not had any negative problems with it - yes, there are scratches in bottom from my metal spoon but it hasn't changed the cooking levels - surprisingly, food has not stuck to the scratched areas. Every few months I will spray oil in this and store it. This is very heavy. I would like one in every color and I'd like the smaller one as well (in every color) I'd like to see them come out with a burnt orange color I just bought 1 of these for my daughter in law because I saw they had it in purple which is her favorite color. If I ever have to replace, I'll buy this one again

Seems very heavy and durable but already has rust near top seam where lid sits after one use. The inside is coated ceramic that stains very easily. The top rim where the lid sits on the pot is not coated, and rusts built up staining the ceramic around. I did not leave the pot in water. It rusted the first time I used it. Not happy with purchase, even though it was inexpensive.
