I do not know how I survived 25 years of marriage without this pot. I use it at least twice a week. You see all the cooks using it on tv and never thought, wow I should get one so my meals are as good as theirs.

Used according to temp. guidelines to bake bread and it showed cracks in enamel inside and discoloration on outside. Tramontina cust. service said baking bread was considered dry use and since i didn't add oil or something to bottom of pot I had voided the warranty. Bought Jan 2025. They let themselves out of honoring warranty. There were no instructions or warnings about bread baking could damage pot enamel. And pictures show bread baking as a feature. Who adds oil to pot you are baking bread in?

We just received ours less than a week ago. Used it twice, electric cook top never above medium high heat, no metal tools, Dobie pad and Dawn for cleaning. There are multiple chips on the bottom surface. Very disappointing. Feels like I just tossed out $53.

The sheet of instructions clearly state in bold letters, “OVEN SAFE UP TO 500 DEGREES”. However, in the use and care, in tiny letters it states the enamel surface is not recommended for dry cooking. Add liquid, butter or oil to the bottom prior to cooking. This I did not see and I preheated to 500 then turned down to 450, added the dough on parchment paper and baked it. When I took it out the enamel was all cracked. It is totally unusable and they will not replace the product as they say it is my fault. I say their instructions are VERY misleading!!!! I e also tried to attach a pic but it keeps giving me an error, go figure.

Big pot for the price.

Was excited to receive this, I will say it was packed very well but that's it... Unpacked to discover a huge chip on the top side near the handle, I searched the box and found no chip which indicates it was shipped this way, Impossible not to notice a HUGE chip on the side of the product. Not even going to wash it or waste my time shipping it back, Going into the trash

This is a fantastic pot! I use it almost everyday, and just leave it in my stove after I hand wash it and dry it. Beautiful colors to choose from. It is heavy, but it is durable and such a good price! No need to pay hundreds of dollars for other brands when this is cheaper and great quality!

My second one!

I bought this two years ago and the enamel at the Bottom of the pot has wore away and has turned dark brown. It doesn't wash off and it is scratched to the iron. I think having a big dutch oven is versital but I have concerns with the integrity of the enamel coming off into my food or the rusty iron affecting the tast of the food as well.

Beautiful and big. Wonderful for making stovetop soups or using it in the oven. However, I wish it was dishwasher safe, because it is soooo heavy. I have a hard time picking it up and moving it around to clean it. Sometimes I feel like it is not worth the bother, so I don't use it.
