I love my dutch oven. Execellent Price compared to other equivalent products. I waited a year to purchase one for my son. Cleans up easy compared to other non-enameled pots. Love that I can make recipes that called for more than one pot; now I only use the one pot. Casserole-type dishes that can cook part 1 on stove, then add other ingredients & bake in oven; all in the one pot. My only criticisms are: the inside enamel (after only 1 yr) has slightly cracked & stained. The upper edge of the pot & rim of the lid (where they come together & meet when lid is on pot) are not enameled (probably for heat conduction) so the exposed iron can rust. I wash my pot by hand & never put in dishwasher for this reason. But I love it just the same. It's my Go-To Pot several times a week.

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.

Disappointed After my first meal cooking with everything was charred I said to myself it's my fault, I didn't put enough oil or the fire too strong. Second dish and despite all my attention the meal has charred. Everything sticks to the bottom I think the enamel is of poor quality and not regular. I no longer use it but now it rusts and is no longer usable. I just spread 50 bucks in the trash.

I bought this Dutch oven recently in the Charcoal color and I am super satisfied with its looks and performance. So far, I've cooked crawfish etouffee, shrimp pasta and cube steaks with onions and gravy (that dish required placing the pot in the oven for 45 minutes). All dishes cooked to perfection and the cleaned pot still looks brand new inside and out. Yes, it is heavy as cast iron is supposed to be. It does not need to and should not be used on high heat. A medium to medium hi is good enough to cook your food deliciously and still preserve the looks of this pot. And at this sale price, it is a complete bargain for the home cook. The available colors are also amazing and would make great, affordable gifts. Don't waste your money on more expensive pots of this kind. This is a keeper! Don't pass it up.

Awesome pot!!

I bought this 2 weeks ago and as instructed first washed it by hand with a light detergent and completely dried it then I put a light amount of cooking oil on the exposed cast iron on lid and pot and baked it as instructed. A small amount of oil ran onto the enamel part of pot and lid and baked on. It took over an hour of scrubbing to remove the baked in oil. I have yet to use this pot for cooking but am concerned about how it with hold up based on my experiences so far. Because of this I can not recommend at this time.

I purchased this beautiful Dutch oven 6 months ago and have used it many times. I love the way it cooks...nothing sticks! Sadly, the paint is chipping off the handle already. A good quality enamel coating should last longer than that. I will not purchase this brand again.

I bought 2 of these for Xmas gifts and one for moi. All beige will go with any kitchen. A lovely oyster/bone color. I opened all three. Two had the tiniest of flaws that won't affect function. Roomy 6.5 qt. Metal handle. Beautiful and sleek looking on my stove. For $39.99 these are a steal. Heavy. Will hold the heat. Tight lid. Follow the directions and they should last a very long time. So happy.

It cooks food well and I love the color but the 2 stars are for the quality! The handle has a big chip in it and there is a small chip on the inside of the pot and this all happened shortly after I purchased it. I take great care of it and store it correctly. Contacted the company but they won't replace it because they said it is cosmetic. So disappointed.

I purchased the Dutch oven set in January 2018. Within 6 months the enamel was chipping around the rim and rust was coming through. I always washed and dried by hand. I contacted Tramontina and attached pictures. They asked for more pictures then required a receipt ( I no longer had the receipt). They closed out my ticket and basically told me to they weren't going to do anything. I really enjoyed cooking with a dutch oven but I would definitely save up and purchase a more quality brand that stands by their product. As the saying goes, you get what you pay for.
