Very tasty Carbonnades a la flamande November 20, 2009
K. Macke (California)
I've used this Dutch oven once so far, and it did everything I expected. I prepared "carbonnades a la flamande", a Belgian stew based on beef, onions, and beer. The browning of the meat on the stove top worked well, and then the stew cooked in the oven for 1.5 hours and came out very tasty indeed. The casserole also cleaned up very easily afterwards, another big plus. (I did make sure to wash it right away though, before things could dry on too much.) So after one trial, I'm pretty happy with this item.
 Price value good, but you can see why people LOVE Le Creuset. November 19, 2009

The price can't be beat! $45 with free shipping is a great value regardless of what I write in this review. I was excited to open the box, and loved the color immediately! I continued to be impressed by the weight of the pot. But after completely un packing, I placed the lid on the pot, and looked at my wife and said, this is why a Le Creuset is $245, and this was only $45. The lid does not seal tightly, and you need to rotate the lid to find the position where it seals best, though it's still not 100%, closer to 90%.
Would I buy it again? Probably. Would I have bought it in a store, where the faults were clear before making the decision to purchase? Probably not. I just cannot justify the $200+ dollars for the "real deal".
I hope this helpful.
 Low quality, have some breakdown pitting of the chalky white enamel. November 16, 2009

It occurred some breakdown pitting of the chalky white enamel when it arrived. I'm afraid that it may have been exposed and rusted later. Also the lid does not really fit for the Casserole.
compares to LeCreuset November 10, 2009

I discovered this item in an "America's Test Kitchens" cookbook with recipes for dutch ovens that can be used on stove-top & in ovens. It was recommended as a less pricey alternative to LeCreuset with the same features. Based on other customer's reviews I also purchased the LeCreuset stainless steel replacement knob to replace the plastic one on the Tramontina item (recommended). I had to get a different length & circumfrence bolt (screw) from my local hardware store to adapt but it only cost me 19 cents! This item must be hand washed (no dishwasher)but it's a breeze to clean up no matter what you cook. So far everything I've made in it was fantastic!
heavy pot that's versatile October 8, 2009

I bought this pot about a week ago and was amazed at just how sturdy (around 20 pounds in weight!) and versatile it is! I plan to use it to fry chicken on the stove and to bake bread in the oven. This pot was highly recommended by Cooks Illustrated so I feel confident that it's going to work like a charm! Couple things to note...the lid is only good to 400 degrees due to the knob, not 450 like the product description states. I purchased a Le Creuset knob to replace the Tramontina knob, but the screw for the Le Creuset knob is shorter and skinner than the one that comes with this pot so I'll have to get a new screw before I can make the swap. Oh, and you'll have to season this pan before you use it. That was no big deal really...just put a little shortning on the top of the pan where the lid rests and then stick it in the oven for an hour at 350 degrees and you're in business. All in all, I'd say this pan is terrific and I'd highly recommend it to anyone looking for a versatile pan in the kitchen to use on the stove or in the oven. It's a tremendous deal when you compare it to it's cousin, Le Creuset, that costs around $300!!!
