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.

The handle chipped on my dutch oven. I have owned it roughly around a year and have only used it 6 or 7 times since purchase. It sits on top of my stove as decoration when not in use. It has never been used it in the oven. I contacted customer service through Tramontina and they told me it was not a warranty issue. Disappointed. It is a beautiful pot but not if the finish does not stay on.

It says that it is Oven safe up to 450 F° and 232 C° and Compatible with gas, electric, ceramic glass and induction cooktops. I used it on an electric range once (medium) and it burned off a section of the ceramic. Not the whole area that was on the burner. Just an odd area. Now I'm afraid to use it at all.

I haven't used it yet. I still have to season the rim and lid, but I love it. The color is great. Love me some HUNTER GREEN, DARK SAGE GREEN. THIS POT IS GREEAT!! I'M going to make the best fabulous shrimp dish and gumbo, and soups in this pot, oh and chicken and beef stews. YAASSS!!

I hardly give reviews, but I decided to write something down this time around at least to save another customer from losing their money. Please believe every review here, despite all the negative feedback I decided to purchase it with the intention of being careful in handling it. I bought this 7-inch Tramontina Dutch oven from Sam's Club. I ordered it on November 23, 2022, and it was delivered on November 26, 2022. When I got it, I decided to boil water in it to help clean it before using it. After the water was cooled, I saw this rust on the rims of both the lid and the pan after the first use. I tried cleaning it, but the rust stain wouldn’t go away. Please don't waste your money and buy this, run away from it

I bought this in a beautiful burgundy color because it was a great price- I thought it looks nice and well made, how bad can it be? Let me tell you I was not disappointed. It performs very well and is a great low cost addition to my kitchen cookware. If I were to say anything negative, it would be that the weight is heavy for me and when you add the food it is even heavier of course. I usually put the dutch oven without the lid into the oven first, then put on the lid. Clean up is easy after I soak the pan in hot soapy water a bit. I have made many pot roasts, lamb shanks and lamb shoulder meals as well as no-knead breads in it (I have a smaller 4.5 qt Tramontina dutch oven as well that I normally use for the bread). Very happy with it!

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

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 purchased this to bake bread, and it has been fantastic! I made the same rustic sourdough loaf I have been make for a couple of years and using this method really elevated the final product. The quality is good and the price was very reasonable. I am looking forward to trying other things in it.

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!!
