Tramontina Bestow Enameled Cast Iron 4-Qt Braiser Pan with Lid, Blue | Oven-to-Table Casserole Dish, Great for Shallow Braises & Simmers

I’m seriously obsessed with this Tramontina enameled cast iron Dutch oven! It’s beautiful, sturdy, and works like a dream. The color is absolutely stunning in person — it looks so nice sitting on my stove even when I’m not using it. Cooking with it has been amazing. It heats evenly, retains heat really well, and makes everything from soups to braised meats come out so tender and flavorful. Plus, cleanup is a breeze — the enamel coating really helps keep food from sticking, and it wipes clean easily with a little soap and water. It feels super high-quality without the crazy high price tag you’d expect from other brands. Honestly, it’s become my go-to pot for just about everything. If you’re thinking about it, just get it — it’s a kitchen game-changer!

To be honest if I could afford Le Creuset enameled cast iron cookware I would buy it. But I can't afford Le Creuset so I do the next best thing --- I buy Tramontina enameled cast iron cookware. I know Le Creuset is the best and will last 3 lifetimes if taken care of. I don't really care about cookware that will last 100 years if taken care of. I know my Tramontina will give me a good 15 to 20 years if properly taken care of --- no dishwasher. These all need to be washed by hand. It is worth it considering how versatile these enameled cast iron cookware is. And how easy they clean up. Just let them soak a wee bit with some hot water and a bit of dish soap and use a gentle sponge on them and BOOM! Spot on spotlessly clean. Easy. I braise a lot of things. I roast a lot of things. I cook a lot of things. I cook everyday. I do not operate a microwave heat 'n serve thaw 'n serve oh it's all already made in a box for you, or let's have someone named Bennie with God knows what disease in the back of some grocery store make what I'm going to serve my family and eat myself --- no, I cook. Real food. Whole foods as much as I can. And anyone doing that, or desiring to do that even once a week, once a month, once in a while ---- ought to have at least one, or two good quality enameled cast iron to do that sort of real cooking in. To do this then I heartedly recommend buying yourself a piece, or two, or three of Tramontina brand. You will like it. Yes, it's heavy. Its enameled cast iron. But if you want to do something right then why not --- do it right? There are tradeoffs in everything in life. You want the quality and convenience and ability to cook almost limitless, tasty, wonderful foods by braising, roasting, etc.? Then use the right tool! And unless one is truly feeble, truly very weak in the arms these are manageable items to use. Just be careful. Take your time. Don't rush. Don't be braising and texting! Buon apetito!

Thoroughly impressed! After only two months of ownership I can't attest to the longevity of this Tramontina braiser, but after several uses I can say that it functions perfectly. For starters the braiser arrived very well-packed to prevent damage in transit. The "smoke with gold knob" combination is beautiful if that matters to you. The enamel, both inside and out is flawless. I've done a few chicken braises and find that clean-up is easy. The enamel releases any stuck-on particles with a few swipes of a soapy sponge. The quality of this Tramontina piece looks to be the equal of two, far most costly Le Cruset pieces that I own. Time will tell how well it holds up, but in the meantime I recommend it without reservation.

Wife always wanted a dutch oven. First purchased a m------, the lid rocked slightly , so it was returned. She ordered this model and very pleased with brand new condition and quality of pot. Used a couple times and washed up nicely. Looks pretty sitting on the stove when not in use.

Purchased for gift. Nice quality and as pictured and described. Reasonably priced.

Solid pan with a large base which is good for gravies & braising. This is has even heating on it and a heavy weight.. so when I get cooking it doesn't slide around. This is the same as cooking on an iron skillet, except you don't have to worry about seasoning the pan. Cook whatever you want in it, then wash out it. No worrying of rust like cast iron. The only downside is, that it came with a small chip off the corner of the lid.

Was coveting Le Creuset but didn’t want to pay the price. Research yielded this brand. I’m pleased with it.

I own a Staub 7 quart in Grenadine. But the Staub is better for a large roast or whole chicken and a little too large for baking bread, spaghetti sauce, chili, etc. I wanted a smaller 4 to 5.5 quart size but I didn't want to spend $300 - $400 on another Staub. However I do really love the rich "Grenadine" color offered by Staub. So, I was watching ATK (America's Test Kitchen) and they reviewed dutch ovens and presented the lower cost Tramontina as a reasonably priced alternative to their top choice (Le Cruset). OMG!!!! I found this Tramontina on Amazon for a fraction of the cost of LeCruset or Staub and the color is almost identical to Staub's "Grenadine". The top fits perfectly, the interior is a light color which translates to better cooking results, and you can see the bottom to check for burning or doneness, the handles are large enough to get a good grip on the pot when moving it, and the heat retention is exactly what you would expect from a dutch oven. It was expertly packed and arrived in perfect comdition. Also, the size is a perfect all-around size. Wow! I made a great purchase!

So beautiful, so perfect. Absolutely love for my sourdough

Very nice, sturdy. Looks good. Used once so far.

I love it. Delivered in perfect condition and safe packaging. Had a couple of Tramontina dutch ovens before. And its very good quality fot its price. Great heat distribution, nice quality. great for stews and baking. And easy to clean (hand wash!) Just like any similar dutch oven take good care of it and it will take good care of your food.

Buen producto, solo que la parte blanca se puso oscura con el tiempo.

I was looking for one that was more shallow than the typical Dutch oven. I love this one! And the blue is a beautiful colour. It washes very easily. I’ve already used it several times.
