I purchased the Dutch oven set in January 2018. Within 6 months the enamel was chipping around the rim and rust was coming through. I always washed and dried by hand. I contacted Tramontina and attached pictures. They asked for more pictures then required a receipt ( I no longer had the receipt). They closed out my ticket and basically told me to they weren't going to do anything. I really enjoyed cooking with a dutch oven but I would definitely save up and purchase a more quality brand that stands by their product. As the saying goes, you get what you pay for.

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.

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.

Was excited to receive this, I will say it was packed very well but that's it... Unpacked to discover a huge chip on the top side near the handle, I searched the box and found no chip which indicates it was shipped this way, Impossible not to notice a HUGE chip on the side of the product. Not even going to wash it or waste my time shipping it back, Going into the trash

Got inspired to get a Dutch oven after seeing my bro-inlaw using one. Don't know how I got along without it for so long. Used it over 30+ times for stews, soups, gumbo, roasts. Well built, solid, even heat distribution. Reduced my cooking time by 25%. And, uses less heat than other stew pots. If you cook regularly add this to your arsenal. I'll pass this down to my kids if/when I'm done with it. Someone complained it was too heavy. Its CAST IRON. Smh.

The enamel comes off while cooking and you don’t realize it until you have eaten the food and cleaned it. That’s not healthy. I wish I could return it but too late. Why are they allowed to keep selling these items. I don’t really care for many things that members mark makes, except for essential products.

I bought this Dutch oven recently in the Charcoal color and I am super satisfied with its looks and performance. So far, I've cooked crawfish etouffee, shrimp pasta and cube steaks with onions and gravy (that dish required placing the pot in the oven for 45 minutes). All dishes cooked to perfection and the cleaned pot still looks brand new inside and out. Yes, it is heavy as cast iron is supposed to be. It does not need to and should not be used on high heat. A medium to medium hi is good enough to cook your food deliciously and still preserve the looks of this pot. And at this sale price, it is a complete bargain for the home cook. The available colors are also amazing and would make great, affordable gifts. Don't waste your money on more expensive pots of this kind. This is a keeper! Don't pass it up.

I do a lot of slow cooking, so my mom got me one of these a month ago for my birthday. I was a bit concerned about how often I would actually use it and where I would be able to store it due its size and heft. After using it once for brisket I completely fell head over heals in love with it; and all concerns fell away. I got 4 uses out of it and on the 5th use while heating it, I heard a loud ¡¡POP!! Some of the interior enamel bursted off. I called my mom, she said it came from Sam's Club but no longer had the receipt. I decided to call Tramontina and they emailed me a shipping label and I dropped it off at a FedEx and it's been less than a week, but they are already sending me a new one. So even though I had a problem with the pot, I do love it and they hold true to their warranty and it's been easy to acquire a replacement. I understand manufacturing flaws happen, but I love the Tramontina brand and they really came through. I can't wait for the new one to arrive.

Very impressed by quality and design, too. The stainless steel lid knob is a nice touch - even Le Creuset has bakelite (plastic) knobs unless you pay for a premium line. I've made 2 braised dishes so far and very pleased with performance and also how easy it cleans. By the time you're ready to wash it, nothing's really sticking - just fill it with hot water and use a sponge + dish soap. It's also just beautiful. And I like the shape and design of the lid a little better than some of the standard Le Creuset pots. Granted, Le Creuset has some really nifty items, but they are $350. It's pointless to argue whether Le Creuset is better. This pot costs less than shipping back to France if you ever need their lifetime warranty. It's very well made. From what I've read France and China are the only places in the world that make this type of product, at least as available to us here in the US. FWIW Lodge enameled pots are made in China too and IMHO this Tramontina is a better deal. I have several bare cast iron seasoned cookware items - skillets and a large and small camp oven. Those are great, but I've always wanted enameled - because sometimes you just want to leave the dish in the pot and move to the fridge and not worry about rusting or reseasoning. And it looks great and the light interior makes it easier to assess the progress visually (which is why they like them in cooking shows, it looks better on camera).

I purchased this beautiful Dutch oven 6 months ago and have used it many times. I love the way it cooks...nothing sticks! Sadly, the paint is chipping off the handle already. A good quality enamel coating should last longer than that. I will not purchase this brand again.
