I have always used cast iron Pots and pans. However these are really beyond belief. With normal cat iron, you have to pay close attention as they are real prone to stick and/or burn. These have enamel coating and I couldn't believe my eyes when I got up with a distraction and my potato soup boiled over. I though it was truly gonna be a nightmare to get clean, if I even could. I used a wooden spoon to try and find it how damaged it was. My eyes literally bugged out when as I stirred the bottom at actual came off. The clean up was a breeze and believe it or not, the soup want scorched tasting. I think I'm gonna have a bowl in a bit. These are way more than I ever expected. Now I have the best of both worlds. Not only is my food tasting better and cooking faster, but the clean up is a breeze and there's no seasoning the pan to worry about. I don't have to put it on fire after cleaning to get all the moisture out of it so it doesn't dust. Whoever came up with these, .....thank you sooooo very much.

Dutch Ovens are the best pot in your kitchen and it often becomes a family heirloom. I purchase this Dutch Oven in Teal Blue and it is a beautiful as the picture. This oven was a gift to someone new to cooking. The wonderful things people discovered while staying at home…”Cooking you say…what is that?” One meal out of the Dutch Oven and suddenly they’re a Chef…. funny what an oven will do. It currently gets used every Sunday and I get to hear all about the tender roast, the moist chicken, spare ribs, etc. For those buying the Instant Pot great appliance (I recently purchased) HOWEVER the Dutch provides the same tenderness and the overall cooking times are the same. You can also open it if you want add seasoning, check it see if you need to add more time or not, and it can be opened right away. The only time I would not recommend a Dutch oven is if you can not lift beyond 10lbs from the oven and I would caution seniors to get a smaller one due to the weight. It also gets EXTREMLY Hot so be cautious. Other than that I absolutely love my Dutch oven and as for the cast iron skillet...its not a myth cast iron skillets are the best skillet you will ever buy.

I have used this for several cooking methods and have been very pleased. I have been wanting an item that I can use that would go from the cooktop to the oven easily and this did just that! It was a simple clean and the color stayed beautiful. Very happy with this purchase

This pot is a good heavy soup/stick pot. I’ve only used it a few times since purchasing so I can’t speak to durability. But it heats nice, and the 2 soups and few other dishes came out great. I will say, I ordered the purple, and The actual color is very different than that in the picture. It’s not bad, but definitely more of a raspberry than a dark purple. And that’s why my review is 4 stars.

I bought this dutch oven becauseI ruined my old stainless steel pot. A friend has one and she told me how great they are. I am definately not sorry I purchased this. In fact I lijed it so well, I also ordered ine for my daughter's birthday n Christmas present combined. Also the ability to cook with a lower heat is a real plus for better tasting food.

Have received this Dutch oven and was surprised at how heavy it was . I know that cast iron was heavy but expected it to be of lower quality. I am 73 years old and one of the pleasured I get out of life is cooking so I am very very fussy about my cooking equipment. I live on a minimum amount of SS so it is one of the few enjoyments I can afford. It has made me feel good about this purchase. I would recommend this to anybody. As a matter of fact (depending on how much I can afford it) I think I might purchase one for my daughter's Christmas gift.

There is no need to spend tons of $ on a dutch oven. When I was looking for one, I found them priced all the way up to $150! I actually got this one on sale for $30 at Christmas time (w/free shipping) and couldn't be any happier. Bought mine in black and the 6.5 qt size. I use it for bread and soups which it is the perfect size. Highly recommend.

i was a bit leery about the quality when i saw the price compared to other dutch ovens, but it actually turned out to be one of the best purchases that we made over the holiday season. i cant imagine what would be different in an oven that cost hundreds of dollars more, this is a great product

We have bought 7 of these Tramontina Enamaled Cast Iron 6.5 At. Covered Round Dutch Ovens. Five are for gifts. I use one in the house for soups and stews. The best use I have found is that it is just the right size for making jams, jellies and brine for pickles. The temperature is very easy to maintain while cooking. No hot spots. Easy clean up. The other one we use outside to deep fry our catfish. I would recommend this to all.

Always wanted a large soup kettle, finally made the splurge. The dark Navy color with gold knob is just stunning. I have been cooking up soups every week and it is easy in this large pot with plenty of room and non stick. Cooks evenly too. Heavy when washing, but not an issue as the pot is great quality cast iron. Love it!
