TramontinaCovered Tall Round Dutch Oven Enameled Cast Iron 7 Qt (Classic Blue Gold Knob) - 80131/359DS

Good afternoon,My neighbor loves to cook. I have one and love it! So for his birthday, I decided to get him one. Months ago he said he would like dark green.Thank you! It's beautiful!Jo BuntenSalisbury, NH

This is actually a second pan, I use the first a lot as a skillet, braiser, and baker. When I saw it now listed for under $50, I decided to get a second. Tramontina makes excellent enameled cast iron. I have multiple pieces and they compare very well to the two much more expensive pieces of LeCreuset that I own. And I love the blue color.

What a great pot and at a fraction of the cost of the 'Le' expensive name brand. It is a fantastic pasta sauce pot. I sautéed my pork and beef bones with a bit of olive oil and took out. Added my onions and garlic until translucent. The fond (good bits on the bottom of the pot from sautéeing) that this pot makes is awesome. So much nicer than my stainless steel. I've also fried my meatballs with pignoli nuts and the oil stayed consistent temperature.It is rather heavy, but I expected it (being cast iron and ceramic). I'll post an update about the long term use. This one's a keeper folks, don't hesitate to buy.

Bought new cookware, all from Tramontina. I love this enameled cookware. I’ve cooked many different things and comes out clean and cooks my food evenly and great for anything to be stewed. Came with little plastic clips to keep stoneware from chipping at the edges for storage which I use religiously. Has keep the cookware in Rio top shape and looking great.

I took a very long time looking for just the right Dutch oven and I’m extremely happy with my purchase. I just love the color which complements my kitchen. The first time using it I cooked a batch of vegetable soup. It turned out perfect. I purchased the 7qt because I have a 5 qt non enameled oven and it just wasn’t big enough for most of my recipes. It was super easy to clean as well. It also came with the plastic rim protectors so the lid doesn’t bang up against the enamel and chip it. If you are careful when cleaning and only use the correct utensils in it, you will have a beautiful and versatile piece of cookware for a lifetime. I would highly recommend this oven to anyone who is still contemplating buying one for the first time as well as any seasoned cooks. You won’t be disappointed. I can’t wait to make something else in it.

Great for baking breads! Love the color.

But I don't care because it's my favorite soup pot and I wouldn't give it up for anything. When I'm not using it, it has a position of honor on top of my stove so that its beauty can awe everyone in the room. Something you pass down to your kids in your will. Can you tell I love it?

nice quality but WAY TOO HEAVY
