A french Oven is normally enamelled but a dutch oven is normally not enamelled.French ovens are long lasting for slow cooking..Dutch ovens are an older cast iron design.There are now a number of French USA and Chinese companies making French Ovens

Yes it is. It basically is a Dutch oven. Just be sure to follow directions. It says never to cook on high. With the even cooking you get, you never need to and things brown beautifully and clean up is easy. I have the entire set and love them.

I haven't used it as a Dutch oven, but I don't see why not. There is nothing to burn or melt on the unit. My only concern is that the lid and higher portion of the sides are steel and may not transmit the heat quite the same way a Dutch oven would - I think it should work fine

Hi Sydney Closeup, the Dutch Oven and the skillet share a lid, but the Dutch Oven and skillet do not form a seal when placed one over the other.

I don't know. I don't know why it would be a problem. The dutch oven is heavy, but I think as long as you are careful, it doesn't matter that the cook top is glass. Maybe there is something about glass stove tops in the literature that comes with the product, or maybe with the glass top stove.

Not in my world, I have the Cuisinart round and oval enamel over cast iron dutch ovens and they are fantastic. I got them from Woot, Amazons closeout sibling lol. They only cost about $50 when they have them on Woot. If you are not famaliar with Woot, just go to Woot.com Woot also has apps for your phone. If you have patience this is the way to go, in the two years I have been a Woot member they have had the Cuisinart dutch ovens twice that I know of, once when I bought mine, and again not too long ago. HTH.

The shape of the 2 pots. The dutch oven seems larger , but it is a deeper pot (high sides). Then the shape is different.Both pots are good pots.

I don't now the difference sorry. The oven I have has two stones that stack on top of each other and it works really well. I fired four pizzas on Saturday and 12 a couple of weeks ago. This is the best purchase I have made in the cooking world!

I believe they are the same, just different wording. My box the oven came in has both wording on it!

Dear C.Smith,The only difference will be the spatula. Otherwise the cooking ability is the same.Thank you for allowing us to be of service to you.Sincerely,Tonia D.

There is a great cookbook out for Dutch ovens called Glorious One-Pot Meals by Elizabeth Yarnell. Over 200 pages, soft cover book. No pictures, but the book is very well put together and some great recipes, all seperated by category. Seafood, vegan, chicken, vegetables, etc. If your looking for recipe ideas, check this book out :P

The inside of this dutch oven is enamel. Enamel is supposed to be pretty hard to scratch, but I choose to use non-metal utinsels with this cookware, just in case.

The numbers don't mean anything to me. I bet the more expensive one has the gold band around the dutch oven. I have the cheaper one and it cooks just fine, but it does get the discoloration inside from heat. I just use a light scrubbing with a brillo pad--good as new again.

I bought this item 2 years ago because it was being discontinued. I already had a smaller version of the dutch oven and ordered this model to replace it. I believe it was being discontinued to be replaced by the 1000 series. This is a quote from Tramontina: "New manufacturing techniques combined with improved materials and design have revitalized old world cooking traditions to offer superior product performance and versatility for an exceptional cooking experience." They may have made changes to the material used or the enamel bonding process. I'm not sure exactly. The design of the 1000 series on their website looks like the sides may be less sloping than my model. I suppose you could email Tramontina and ask what the changes are. I like my model and use it often. It has held up well. I do hand wash it as directed.
