I bought a 6.5 qt Tramontina around 10 years ago, and then during a December sale bought another two-piece set (7 qt that is shorter and larger diameter than the 6.5 qt and a 4 qt) three years ago. I have used these in various ways - on an electric ceramic cook top (making soups and stews), going into the oven (braising various things), on an open flame grill side-burner (brown chicken in a little olive oil and then make a nice curry outside where it won't stink up the house...) and they are all still like new condition. A little simple care and maintenance keeps them looking great and they just perform great on their own. Two things I do: 1) Always put a little oil on the exposed iron areas around the rim and lid after washing. 2) I found some info online about putting some bleach water inside overnight to make the interior enamel look like new again (it darkens with use that basic washing won't take out).

I purchased this a week ago, I seasoned rim of pot and lid as directed. I used it first time yesterday to make beef stew. It cooked fine stew came out great but when I tried to remove pot from burner it stuck to it. I hade to force it off of the burner and found it had stuck in three spots removing the enamel from the bottom of the pot in those three spots. I will be returning tomorrow for a refund. Too bad I was hoping that I got a good product at a great price. Not so. Maybe I should have used the Tramontina Induction burner instead of my stovetop electric coil burner. I may hold out for a Staub.

About a month ago, I purchased this dutch oven in red. This is my first experience trying this brand. Several years ago, I purchased a smaller oval dutch oven from a French manufacturer ($374.) Well, I have used this Tramontina dutch oven several times and it cooks better than my expensive one. It is not only beautiful, but it cooks evenly without sticking plus no staining of the interior and what a savngs. I am a very happy customer.

The sheet of instructions clearly state in bold letters, “OVEN SAFE UP TO 500 DEGREES”. However, in the use and care, in tiny letters it states the enamel surface is not recommended for dry cooking. Add liquid, butter or oil to the bottom prior to cooking. This I did not see and I preheated to 500 then turned down to 450, added the dough on parchment paper and baked it. When I took it out the enamel was all cracked. It is totally unusable and they will not replace the product as they say it is my fault. I say their instructions are VERY misleading!!!! I e also tried to attach a pic but it keeps giving me an error, go figure.

Used according to temp. guidelines to bake bread and it showed cracks in enamel inside and discoloration on outside. Tramontina cust. service said baking bread was considered dry use and since i didn't add oil or something to bottom of pot I had voided the warranty. Bought Jan 2025. They let themselves out of honoring warranty. There were no instructions or warnings about bread baking could damage pot enamel. And pictures show bread baking as a feature. Who adds oil to pot you are baking bread in?

Fabulous! Great value and exceptional quality.

Well made. Works great for making brisket or soups
