I have seen dutch ovens before and have always been expensive. Last year when shopping at local Sam's Club, it was on sale. A value I felt I could not pass up! I am so happy I purchased it. I love to cook soups, stews, and casseroles. Its big enough to fit a whole chicken. The drawback is that the item is heavy. After cooking, and pot has cooled, I soak it and it comes clean easily.

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).

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

SO disappointed. Bought this on a good sale and thought it would last me long enough until I could get a name brand one. I?m a regular pretty decent home cook and even followed all instructions in the package as to seasoning it before us. After that I used it no more than 5 times and this happened, I was shocked and so bummed. The bottom starting chipping away worse than cheap nail polish. I never used metal utensils, only wooden spoons. Save your money and get a REAL one.

I received this item as a gift. I was so excited, I have been using it weekly. Though I have only had the item 2 weeks it hasn't left my stove top. I was cleaning it several days ago and noticed the inside ridge under the lid is noticeably rusting. I attempted rubbing it with oil. Cooked another dish and removed the lid and rust had dripped onto the enamel of the inside of the dutch oven. I attempted the ask a question option and received a response the option wasn't available, probably because it is Thanksgiving. I will be contacting my local store to return. So very disappointed!

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

Just bought this last night in club, the Latte with Gold Knob. The only two choices was Latte or Black. I haven't used it yet but the information on the box was confusing. It plainly shows the 7qt is an Oval, the 5.5qt is round and comes as a 4 pc set. What's in the box is a 5.5qt round although the box certainly states this is a 7qt. IT IS NOT. After considering the information on the box I decided to check for myself. 6qts of water filled the Dutch Oven slap up and one would never cook soup or a stew,etc. filled to the absolute brim, so I think it's safe to say this is a 5.5qt. I will be returning it because if I'm willing to settle for the 5.5qt, I can order it and get the 4pc set that's included for the same price as this phony 7qt.

I love my dutch oven. Execellent Price compared to other equivalent products. I waited a year to purchase one for my son. Cleans up easy compared to other non-enameled pots. Love that I can make recipes that called for more than one pot; now I only use the one pot. Casserole-type dishes that can cook part 1 on stove, then add other ingredients & bake in oven; all in the one pot. My only criticisms are: the inside enamel (after only 1 yr) has slightly cracked & stained. The upper edge of the pot & rim of the lid (where they come together & meet when lid is on pot) are not enameled (probably for heat conduction) so the exposed iron can rust. I wash my pot by hand & never put in dishwasher for this reason. But I love it just the same. It's my Go-To Pot several times a week.

This is a fantastic pot! I use it almost everyday, and just leave it in my stove after I hand wash it and dry it. Beautiful colors to choose from. It is heavy, but it is durable and such a good price! No need to pay hundreds of dollars for other brands when this is cheaper and great quality!

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.
