I do a lot of slow cooking, so my mom got me one of these a month ago for my birthday. I was a bit concerned about how often I would actually use it and where I would be able to store it due its size and heft. After using it once for brisket I completely fell head over heals in love with it; and all concerns fell away. I got 4 uses out of it and on the 5th use while heating it, I heard a loud ¡¡POP!! Some of the interior enamel bursted off. I called my mom, she said it came from Sam's Club but no longer had the receipt. I decided to call Tramontina and they emailed me a shipping label and I dropped it off at a FedEx and it's been less than a week, but they are already sending me a new one. So even though I had a problem with the pot, I do love it and they hold true to their warranty and it's been easy to acquire a replacement. I understand manufacturing flaws happen, but I love the Tramontina brand and they really came through. I can't wait for the new one to arrive.

Love it!

The handle chipped on my dutch oven. I have owned it roughly around a year and have only used it 6 or 7 times since purchase. It sits on top of my stove as decoration when not in use. It has never been used it in the oven. I contacted customer service through Tramontina and they told me it was not a warranty issue. Disappointed. It is a beautiful pot but not if the finish does not stay on.

We have had this item for over a year and I would say that we use it at least 3 times a week, if not more. We have not had any of the problems that have been disclosed by other customers, so am thinking that there may have been a defect in those items. We use it for anything, from sautéing, to making stews, chowders and soups, to pasta dishes and slow cooked roasts. I have smacked mine against my cabinet and have put blemishes on the enamel, however my fault. However, it still looks wonderful and cooks great! I was just telling my daughter, that I would love one in every color! Excellent cookware!!!!!

I really like this Dutch Oven - Love not only the Color choices but the versatility of the item. I cooked Tuna Noodle Casserole and those of you know it can create a mess of your pan and this cleaned up perfectly like new. Would definitely recommend.

The enamel comes off while cooking and you don’t realize it until you have eaten the food and cleaned it. That’s not healthy. I wish I could return it but too late. Why are they allowed to keep selling these items. I don’t really care for many things that members mark makes, except for essential products.

I was interested in this Dutch Oven because of the price, it was the lowest I've seen. Before I decided to buy I checked the reviews and saw that many people loved it. Based off the reviews and price I bought one and I can say it was a great purchase. I use it almost every night. I would HIGHLY recommend getting one!!

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 dutch oven about a year and a half ago and it now has 3 significant chips in the porcelain. I've only used wooden or plastic spoons with it and have carefully washed it by hand. I tried to get my receipt from my local Sams Club and they couldn't find it. Tramontina will not honor the lifetime guarantee if you can't produce a receipt. I guess if you got one as a gift, you're also out of luck.

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.
