A quality dutch oven
Pros: able to use on stove top and oven
Cons: hand wash
"I bought a dutch oven from Macy's which was twice as expensive and 5.5 quarts and only could be heated to 400 degrees. Shortly afterwards I found this on the Costco website for less and it was larger and is oven safe to 500 degrees. I went to the Costco store and it wasn't available, so I ordered it online. The price included shipping and I got it fairly quickly. I turned around after receiving it and returned the Macy's one. I have since made a wonderful boeuf bourguignon that my husband raved over. I am very happy with my purchase."

quality and value
Pros: attractive, heavy duty, incredible value, good size
"i had been eyeing dutch ovens for some time now. We almost purchase a Le Creuset (which are VERY pricey). Then Costco came out with this. My husband bought it for me, and I use it ALL the time. Great for soups, baking. Very heavy duty, and BEAUTIFUL. The color is so rich, I love cooking with it just to see it on my stove. I just wish they had more enameled cast iorn products, cause I would buy them all"

Does the job well...
Model Number: 6-qt enameled dutch oven
"I have owned this pot for several weeks, using it a few times a week or more. Coq au Vin; Gumbo; ‘Tagine’-style stews; stocks; etc…this pot works. I am an avid cook and like my equipment to perform. I recently went to a well-known/high-end kitchen equipment store, and they had their own brand of cast-iron enameled pots…you could see the uneven enameled surface inside the pot. This Kirkland pot looks way better. One reviewer seasoned her pot w/ canola oil…cast iron can be seasoned, but not enamel. (No wonder why it turned black in spots!) Boil water with thick cut potato skins if you want to ‘season’ it with a first use. (Throw water and potatoes away after boiling for 5-10 minutes.) Just remember, enameled pots (even over cast-iron) are for moderate to low heat cooking, not constant high-heat. Bring your dish up to temperature, then turn the heat down to maintain a low simmer, or put it in the oven. This is where this pot really shines in maintaining good, even heat. Cleans up easily."

As Good as High End Name Brands
"For the price, this is the best bang for your buck. I used this pot today to make Coq au vin and it performed flawlessly. Very even stove top cooking from the bacon slices to the browning of the chicken to the simmering. I've seen comparable dutch ovens for upwards of $300 and this performs the same for a fraction of the cost. No chips in the paint or porcelain and after a dozens of uses now, it cleans as good as new without staining or discoloration. Thinking of getting a high-end dutch oven? Save your money."

Dutch Oven
"I bought this when they were first available in the warehouse. I have had an execellent experience with this item. I have had no chipping, no discoloration and no rust. I also use barkeeper to clean the tough spots. The key for the upkeep of all good cookware is to let the pan return to room temperture before adding any water or attempting to clean"

Can't beat the Value
Pros: price, enamel easily chips
"Great price for this Dutch Oven style. The edge of the handle was chipped right out of the box. There are several more that have occurred on the edges after frequent use.
I seasoned the pot by rubbing canola oil while heating it over the stove before first use. Notice that the interior became black in places and wondered if it was any elements from producing the pot seaping through the white interior. Took some scrubbing to remove after cooling and used the pot for the first time.
First use instructions were not included so I did my own conditioning to ensure that my braised short ribs did not have extra exotic oils from China (Made in China). Great pot for the money!"

Awesome
Pros: everything
Cons: to me nothing
Model Number: 6Qt Round
"As a kid my aunt had a set of very heavy weird looking pots. 45yrs later I read your reviews then realized what a Dutch oven really is. Wks ago I saw chefs using them on TV. Saw the fire red one about 1yr ago at Costco. Got this one 2wks now n use it every day. My 14yr old daugtr wants to know if tha's the only pot I'm going to use now. I told her why, n xplained the care plan to her n my 22yr old Son. I agree: We need the full Set of Kirkland Cast Iron Pots. I want to buy all in diff colors. And please, don't make it xpensive. I'm not turning back. Thank U Costco Family."

Chips in enamel upon opening
Pros: lovely color
Cons: chips in enamel, so fragile needs tabs, tabs are supplied so the lid doesn't touch the pot
"I was so happy to purchase this lovely pot and so sad to open it and find 2 chips on the lid and one on the pot :( I took it back and will now spend the extra bucks to get the best."

Excellent Value/Durable Piece/Color
Pros: price, beautiful color, heavy weight & generous size, multi-purpose
Cons: a little staining on interior
"I purchased this oven about a month ago. For years, I've been coveting the well-known industry standard brand of similar size, but just couldn't bring myself to pay the crazy price. Yes, this other brand is stunning, lasts forever, great for the "serious cook"... but honestly, I'm a serious cook on a serious budget and my family needs to eat NOW... not years from now when I can finally afford the other brand!! This enameled oven is what I went with and I am SO happy with it. The beautiful color drew me in.... the price sealed the deal... and the rest is just awesome gravy!!
I've made soup, chili, beef stew &chicken started on the stove & taken to the oven, stuffing for turkey, rice krispy treats...you name it, I've been using the pot several times a week... and I'm so thrilled with my purchase.
I've had no problems with chipping or exterior staining.... the sugar in my sweet potatoes tinged the bottom of the interior slightly orange/tan...I've not tried that hard to get it out... maybe a little liquid cleanser with bleach? Or baking soda?? Eventually... But for now, the pot is in heavy use, so I really don't make the time to try to deal with such a minor problem.
My hope is that Costco will come out with a set of cookware in this style... as I'm looking to replace mine... and since using the enameled cast iron, I'm really hooked. It heats evenly, retains heat while cooking, can go into the oven.... I just love this pot!!"

Well made, limiting design
Pros: price finish
Cons: small interior for browning
"The one I received, and have since returned, was well made with a nice finish.
The only real issue I had was the shape/design. The sides of the oven are more tapered then higher end brands. This resulted in a very small bottom/interior dimention which limits the space needed for effective browning, a very important step in developing complex flavors.
I am sure this was a production decision. The tapered sides allow the ovens to be nested during production/bulk shipping (prior to packaging). I am sure this is one area they created some cost savings.
The idea of a dutch oven is versatility and this one has a significant limitation. I am willing to spend extra, knowing that it will last for generations."

Best value for your money
Pros: fantastic price
Cons: very heavy
"I bought one last year and couldn't be happier. I use it for most of my cooking, and especially love it for braising and then oven cooking. The Dutch oven heats up quickly and stays hot for quite a while, after you take it off of the stove or out of the oven.
Best Dutch oven you can buy for the price, which is fantastic. I love, love, love it!"

Enamel Pot
Pros: heavy duty and cleans up great, compares to the "other" castiron company
Cons: hoping for matching colors!
"Love the pot! Cooks great and cleans up beautifully. Would have given it 5 stars but for one flaw - it doesn't match up in color to the gorgeous candy red oval shaped pot I purchased last year from our Costco warehouse. I'm hoping a "collection" of styles is forthcoming from the Kirkland brand - it is a super product - but guys, please work on getting that beautiful candy red color!"
