I purchased the cranberry and it is beautiful. I own many pieces of Le Cresuet cast iron and this Tramontina piece is just as impressive,but for a fraction of the cost. Wow! I will be looking for more Tramontina pieces at Sam's.

I recently started making sourdough bread and wanted a bread oven. While I love LeCreuset, the cost of their bread oven was cost prohibtive. When I saw this at Sam's Club and it was only $39, I decided to purchase it. It made great loaves of bread. I'm very happy with this purchase and would recommend it to other bread bakers.

I got this right before Christmas and decided to make sourdough bread. Easy to use, it turned out pretty good for a beginner. Product is heavy duty. Pink was my color. Recommended to my family and they purchased. Would recommend if you want to start baking ur own breads.

It heats super evenly and helps get a nice crusty exterior on my loaves — almost like a real brick oven right at home. The porcelain enamel inside makes cleanup way easier than traditional cast iron, and the snug lid traps steam perfectly, which really boosts the rise. It’s a solid piece that feels durable and works exactly how I hoped. At the price point, it’s tough to beat if you love baking bread.

I love the color-it's beautiful. I love the function, and the fact that it's not nearly as heavy as the Dutch oven I was using for my Artisan bread before I bought this. What I am worried about is that a couple of chips have developed in the lid in two spots. One is fairly large, one is small, but I'm worried they'll get larger over time and make the cloche unusable. I'm very careful with it, I only hand wash with a sponge, and I've also only used it maybe 8 or 10 times. I want to buy a second one as there have been a couple of times when I made two loaves at the same time and have had to wait for the first loaf to be baked, the cloche to fully cool, then I had to wash it and then finally bake the second loaf, but I'm not sure if this chip issue happens a lot or if this is just a total fluke, so am hesitant to buy another one. I tried every which way possible to add a photo, but the site won't allow it for some reason, even though it's well within the max size, etc.

This cast iron bread oven is a great addition to my kitchen! Its heavy quality cast iron is perfect for baking my sourdough bread at home. Ive gone as far to use it on the stove top without the top of course for toasting small pieces of bread and my mini zero calorie tortillas. The color is beautiful and nice pop in my kitchen cabinet - i also LOVE the gold handle! You cant go wrong with this essential bakeware addition !

I have never baked bread in my life but decided to give it a shot. There is a viral cheese bread recipe that I wanted to try and since this was on sale, I went ahead and purchased it. My husband kept asking me over and over again, you didn't use a package for this? No, no I did not. I made it from scratch with my own two hands! I never have to worry about the shape of the bread I'm making or how it's going to turn out with this fabulous Dutch oven. I also purchased the seven quart Dutch oven, from the same series also in cranberry and gold, and made him some cioppino (seafood soup) to go with the crispy garlic cheese bread. HE WENT CRAZY!! I have made so many wonderful dishes (including the fabulous potato leek soup pictured below) thanks to these two beautiful Dutch ovens. They are gorgeous, elegant, easy to use and clean up very well. I can't wait to make more recipes!!

I have several enameled cast iron made by Tramotina and are pleased with how well this one is made and packaged. That said this "bread Oven" has, IMO, one major issue; it is small. The maximum diameter of the inside bottom is 8" but bread expands when baking so in reality a 6" bole or battard loaf is about max. I bake both at 8" because of the basket sizes I have and neither fits with the lid on through the bake. I will try again making a smaller bole by hand before I decide whether or not to return it.

I received this bread oven in the color pink. The color is beautiful and the product is of substantial weight and feels very sturdy! I've never used a cast iron bread oven before so don't have anything to compare it to, but bread certainly comes out better using this than a regular bread pan. Very excited to try more baking experiments with this.

First of all the pretty pink enamel is stunning. Such a pretty piece of cookware that I leave out for people to see in my kitchen. I've already baked 3 loaves / rustic bread in this Bread Oven. It does exactly what it is intended to do. The bread comes out beautiful each time. I highly recommend to not use any oil in the pan since the bread has to be baked on high heat. I also use parchment paper for ease of transferring bread dough to the pan. All in all, this is a great pan to have if you are serious about baking bread!
