Overview
A home cook who braises, simmers and batch cooks gets a stainless Dutch oven in the Tramontina Tempo. An aluminum core in the tri-ply base spreads burner heat evenly, while a clear glass lid lets you watch the pot without lifting it.
Stainless steel is non-reactive with tomato and wine sauces and goes in the dishwasher, unlike enameled cast iron. The oven limit is modest, which rules out very hot oven recipes. Only the base carries the aluminum core, so the walls heat less evenly than the bottom.
Who it's for
Families making pot roasts, soups and sauces on the stove will appreciate easy cleanup and even heat. Home bakers chasing crusty no knead loaves need a pot rated for much higher oven heat.
Pros and cons
- Even heat from tri-ply base
- Works on induction
- Glass lid lets you check food
- Non-reactive with acidic sauces
- Low oven temperature limit
- Capacity listed three ways
- Walls lack the aluminum core
Performance notes
The aluminum core in the base spreads heat across the bottom, which cuts hot spots while searing and simmering. Walls are plain stainless, so heat moves up the sides more slowly than at the base. The glass lid holds in moisture for long braises.
