I've had my set for about a week, and it cooks great so far. Something I would point out are the care instructions - specifically the part about letting the cast iron preheat with no liquid or oil for a few minutes. Thats ok with regular cast iron, but enameled cast iron WILL crack if you start to heat without having any product in the pan

It doesn't matter what I cook or how much oil I use in any of the pieces, EVERYTHING STICKS! I'm so upset over this purchase, and it's too late to return. I thought that with consistent use, like a regular cast iron set, the sticking would stop. It hasn't! I wouldn't accept this set if it was free. The only good thing about it is the weight! DO NOT BUY!

This is an amazing set of cast iron. The large braiser is worth the price of the entire set. The other pieces are a nice bonus. Yes it's heavy, but so is all enamel cast iron. It heats and cooks just as you would expect an enamel cast iron pot would. If you don't have experience cooking with this kind of cookware, it takes a little getting used to. It's not at all like a Teflon pan, but you will get an amazing sear and lots of yummy browned bits on the bottom to deglaze. Do not cook on high heat. Let it come to temp for several minutes over medium low heat. You definitely need to use oil when cooking. Meat will naturally release when ready to flip.

I never write reviews, but I feel I have to with this purchase. First of all, let me say that I really wanted to love this set, it is absolutely beautiful! The problem however is in the quality of the finish. The first set that I ordered came beautiful out of the box. I followed all directions and was extremely careful with them. After using the braising pan, I noticed a small chip. I contacted Sam's and at first they never got back with me. After I contacted them a week later they offered me a credit for only $20.00. Twenty dollars would not be enough to replace the pan elsewhere so I opted to return the set (they would not take back the pan only, I had to send back the entire heavy set back through FedEx. After doing this, I proceeded to use the new braising pan. Upon washing it after use, the handle's paint and outer coating came off. Seriously! I didn't bother contacting Sam's again because I truly don't believe they would fix the issue. Also, in case anyone thinks that the fry pan is nonstick, think again, it is useless.

Great product

These pots cook so well. They're a lot cheaper than La Creuset that's for sure. I see some bad reviews, and that doesn't make any sense to me. Cast Iron cookware is NOT like NON STICK. You have to warm the pan and then add you olive oil or butter or whatever you're using. I LOVE this set! . It's so pretty I don't mind leaving it out.

I have these in white, they are beautiful and cook nicely. However in 2 weeks every piece is chipped and missing enamel. I'm very careful when hand washing and have protectors when stacking in the drawer. I literally wiped a piece of enamel off the bottom (logo) of the saute pan with my fingertip when washing. Unfortunately they will have to go back.

This set will last for years to come and the color (teal) is gorgeous

Love love this !!! They are Beautiful and great to cook with

They are quite pretty but very heavy
