The "Tuesday Morning" chain had a boat load of S/S Tramontina stuff
five or six years ago. I don't remember prices, but it was dirt cheap
or I wouldn't have bought so many pieces. I don't have the dutch
oven, but the quality of the pieces I do have is very good and I'm
quite happy. They've got the best buy rating from CI a few times over
the years for various items. If the cast iron Dutch oven is the same
quality as the pans I have I'm sure it's a good item.
