I recently received and have used my Tramontina Dutch oven 2 times. Presentation was beautiful and a perfect size for serving Gumbo. Heating was even and great to blend the vegetables with the roux. Adding broth was a smooth procedure. Personally, I like the Tramontina brand Cast Iron. The price is right and the quality has been great, so far. Yes, I bought an extra DO for my daughter in law. Holding it til later holiday. Will I buy more? If I have room to store the item.

I recently purchased 3 of these and sent them as gifts as the price was better then when I bought mine. A enameled cast iron Dutch oven is a must have in your kitchen. It cooks well and is very versatile. I gave it 4/5 stars because you have to be careful not to chip it and it’s heavy empty. I have arthritis so I have to be extremely careful.

I love Sam's Club special promotions! This one was excellent as expected; I purchased TWO of these covered dutch ovens, one Red and the other Blue. They are exactly as I expected; the quality is exceptional as is the finish, construction, packaging, and overall fit. I can't wait to use these on my gas range or in the oven! I would HIGHLY recommend that you purchase these since they are truly an excellent value.

The price is what drew me to this piece. I’ve been looking for a Dutch oven and did not want to spend what I was seeing for some. The reviews were excellent so I decided to purchase. I’ve used several times now for bread, soup and hot sausage. Very nice to work with, some food did stick. It is very heavy a very pretty color (red) and I will use often!

I love this pot. Every time I move it, I am reminded at how heavy it is. I have an electric glass top stove and this works very well. I have only used it twice, but so far, so good. On a segment of Martha Stewart, she said if you don't have this dutch oven , you should get one. She uses this pot quite often on her show.

I have one of these in blue and love it so I bought one for my son in law in black for Christmas he loves it also . It’s great for making soups, stews and whatever else you can think of. I like the fact that it’s deep. I have other Dutch ovens also by the same company and love them also.

I read the reviews, including the one in The Test Kitchen's Dutch Oven book and those on-line, then I saw the price at Sam's. Had to give it a try and went with it. Follow the directions on the box for seasoning the rim of the lid and pan and you are good. You have to remember it is a cast iron pan covered with enamel to a point. Just give the edges of the lid and pan a rub with oil now and then, just like cast iron pans, and you should be fine. Love this dutch oven!

This pot is heavy! I was surprised at how much heat it held in. I love the non-stick enamel surface that allows me to fry meat for soups in it for soup bases. Easy to clean, with the exception of it being so heavy. I'm always worried I will chip the enamel, but so far--it's held up wonderfully.

I bought this dutch oven because it was enamelled. I have two others and I will use this in place of the non-enamelled one that I have which I still use. I will use this for bread, soups, stews, slow baking, etc. I find that I use dutch ovens more often in place of my oven and slow cooker. I recently made a beef stew using a Southern Living recipe which closely matched what I had at the family table when I was much younger and was happy with the results. I just washed it and seasoned the rims on the oven and lid and touch it up after using it.

I can't give it 5 stars because it stains easily. I chose the 7 qt enamel cast iron dutch oven in pearl white. When I say it is BEAUTIFUL..believe me. Beautiful! The only downfall is that after cooking anything in it, it shows stains. So I give it careful attention when scrubbing away the stains as not to scratch or scuff the enamel. However, it does hold up to its claims...even cooking on low heat. Fast cooking on low heat...BEAUTIFUL. I wished I'd purchased the 3qt and 5qts as well at the sale price eventhough they didnt come in the pearl white...
