It might be too soon to write a review (since I haven't used it yet) but I took a chance and ordered this dutch oven after lusting for them for many years. I could never bring myself to spend as much as the high end ones cost. Free shipping tipped the scale and I took the plunge. This pot is HEAVY. It's as heavy as the more expensive ones. The lid and handle are well made. The handle is screwed on. Although my kitchen has French red accents I chose the metallic one. It looks like a dark gray/pewter color. I love it. Can't wait to try it out soon.

I recieved this beautiful pot today, great size, large enough for a family of 6+, quality is outstanding, and the price is unbeatable! Don't hesitate to make this purchase, we'll packaged and arrived in perfect shape! Dutch oven is very heavy because it is cast iron under the enamel coat, all-around happy with this purchase!

I have been looking for a nice dutch oven for awhile but did not want to spend alot of money, I saw this at Sams and was floored by the price. I bought the teal one and have been so happy, it cooks like a dream and is so easy to clean. I looked online and could not believe the deal I got. A wonderful purchase, and beautiful addition to my kitchen.

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.

Great Product at a Great Price. All professional chefs use ceramic lined pots for most of their cooking, because they are the best for uniform heat, never fail performance. I know why! this lidded pot is perfect. Big enough for a whole chicken, large pot roast, making stock, soups +++. All steps can be accomplished in one pot, so I lose none of the flavours. This is a great addition to my kitchen. THANK YOU SAM'S CLUB FOR BRINGING THIS ITEM TO ALL OF US AT SUCH A REMARKABLY LOW PRICE.

I purchased this upon recommendation from a friend who loved hers. I have already used it to make some soups and the size is perfect to cook for our family of 5. I purchased the light blue because my first choice (golden-yellow) was out of stock, but the blue is very pretty and bright. I was, however, disappointed to find that the cover was slightly chipped at the edge exposing grey underneath. For the price its good just sad about the chip.

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 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 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!

I LOVE these pots. I have two of them and recently gave one to a young bride. The even heating is awesome and you can leave things in this pot and it will stay warm - great for pot luck dinners. Makes the best chili ever and is the perfect size for a crowd.
