Discount Tramontina 6.5 Qt Enameled Cast Iron Dutch Oven

Customer Ratings:

The product is exactly what was described, except that when I researched the company, I found that Tramontina's website claims that their products are manufactured in the USA. So I was quite surprised to find that the box this one arrived in was clearly marked, "Made in China." I had already purchased and returned a comparable Dutch oven that I bought because I got such a great deal on it. So I was quite disappointed to find that in the end I paid more for standing on principle, and ended up with the very same issue. Bummer. The vendor should include this information on the Amazon.com website.

Not only do I cook great soups, stews, chili, and tagines in this dutch oven, it is also wonderful for making no-knead artisan breads. (See my images for proof.) I see no reason to purchase the mondo-priced alternatives from other manufacturers when this powerhouse does it all and for much, much less money.

Follow all Tramontina instructions for seasoning the rims of the dutch oven and by all means don't use metal for stirring in this pot (though I do cheat and use metal tongs for browning roasts and large pieces of meat.)

Clean up is very, very simple. Anything I've ever cooked as pretty much wiped out of the pot on the first try. The rare occasions something sticks, I use these --> Scotch Brite Heavy Duty Scouring Pads 20 Count
