This is so amazing that I ended up buying a second one for myself. It came in handy during holiday cooking. I love it!! My favorite pot to cook with for sure! I used it on the stove top as a regular pot to make soups, stews, and even deep frying. All came out perfectly!!!

I recently added the 7 Qt Cast Iron Dutch Oven in matte sand to my kitchen, and it’s already proving to be a valuable tool. The color is absolutely stunning—matte sand is a perfect neutral that leans towards warm tones, making it a versatile addition to any kitchen décor. Functionality-wise, this Dutch oven has impressed me from the start. I used it to bake sourdough and make a hearty soup, and it performed beautifully in both cases. The heat distribution is excellent, and it handles long cooking times like a champ. However, it's worth noting that this is a heavy piece of cookware. While the weight gives it a solid, substantial feel—ideal for heat retention and even cooking—it can be a bit challenging to move around, especially when it’s full. I've only used it once so far, so I'm curious to see how it holds up over time. I have a 5.5 Qt Enameled Cast Iron Round Dutch Oven in white that unfortunately chipped, but this 7 Qt version is supposed to be more durable. The manufacturer highlights a different finishing process with three layers of porcelain-enamel exterior coating, designed to be chip-resistant and prevent rust. I’m hopeful that this new coating will live up to its promises and outlast the 5.5 quart. Overall, I'm pleased with the purchase, but the true test will be in its long-term durability.

This pot is extremely heavy, hand washing is a challenge! Color is gorgeous (red). The packaging was amazing, this item would never have been scratched or damaged in any way. Shipping was fast. (2 days) I've cooked in it almost everyday since it arrived, does a fine job! One of the best purchases I've ever made!

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!

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 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.

The Dutch oven is awesome quality. It's pretty heavy though, so keep that in mind if you have any trouble picking up heavy items. I have arthritis and carpel tunnel/wrist issues, and I won't be able to get it in and out of the oven without assistance. And that's with nothing in it. It's still a very nice piece so I'm keeping it. Just get some help when I need it. Colors are super nice as well. Will most likely last a lifetime!

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 got this about a week ago and it is amazing. We used it to make a one dish meal in the oven which was a hit with our family. The pot itself is lovely. I love the color and it was very easy to clean after our meal. I can't wait to continue using it.
