I have had my Tramontina Dutch Oven for two years, and have cooked everything imaginable in it, but most of all I use it for baking bread. I use the NY Times Recipe for no-knead bread (as modified by Cook's Magazine) and it makes a fabulous, professional-looking and delicious loaf. One of my favorite kitchen tools; useful for so many things!

The Tramontina dutch oven is a beautiful piece. However .... I originally purchased the teal which is glossy, flawless and so beautiful, I had no hesitance to get one more in another color. I chose purple. It arrived pitted in various areas and rather dull. Sams efficiently arranged the return/ exchange. The second purple was worse, pitted both inside and out. Two strikes, I suspect the purple line is probably flawed in this way. Sams again efficiently arranged for the return / exchange, and this time I'm ordering cobalt blue. Fingers crossed!

I just bought my dutch oven and have only cooked one meal in it. But so far, I love my dutch oven. It cooked evenly and quickly. And because the lid is heavy it helped seal in flavor. Not only did I order one for myself but I also got one for my daughter-in-law as a gift.

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.

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!

The quality is top notch. The pan and lid are very heavy duty, I have only used it twice so far, but works great, and cleans up easy. I love the color (turquoise blue). This was the best price I have seen on this product. I expect to have many years of use with it.

I use this pot everyday. My daughters steal it when they can. So i bought all 3 of them one and my sister one. Great price too. They will have it forever. Pov: I have burnt my food a few times in it. However it didnt stick to bottom and easy to wash.

I bought this pot on a one day only special and so glad I did! The color teal is beautiful, heats up super quick, water comes to a boil in no time, even heat distribution. This pan is a weighty piece because of it being cast iron. I have a glass cooktop and it works perfectly. Definitely would recommend this piece. Buy it you will love it!

I have been wanting one of these for years, but as others have said in their reviews I couldn't justify the price. When it went on sale $10 off the time was right! The first thing I made was chicken and dumplings. In my other pot, I had to cook them for a long time and add thickening to boot. This pot thickened my dumplings within an hour. At dinner, my husband tried them and asked me what I did differently (besides the new pot). I said nothing. The chicken and dumplings had a richer flavor somehow and were amazing! I LOVE it!!!

I have had this dutch oven for a week and have used it twice. I enjoy making one pot wonders as I prep dinner and day after work lunch for my boyfriend during the week. The dutch oven makes things so simple and it is also so cute! The cleaning is so simple and nothing sticks to it. Get it, you won't regret it!
