Beauty & Strength

Love, love, love my Dutch ovens. Super easy to clean. It heats up faster than any of my cookware! I even make sourdough bread out of it now. Love the lid, love the beauty of the color I have which is not pictured correctly. And when it’s not being used, it still sits atop my stove because it looks so good!

This one's a keeper!

I have several Le Creuset pots, but this might be my new favorite. It is so much easier for me, being somewhat vertically challenged, to reach into the pot for stirring and scooping. Even making pasta in this pot is easier. It is probably bigger than I would need but the convenience outweighs that. Even on sale, this is somewhat pricey but it's definitely worth it.

Beautiful pot in a torn box.

Beautiful pot in the beautiful Oyster color. I picked it up locally because the 6.75 quart pot is super heavy.

Worth every penny!

I love my Dutch oven! The peach color is stunning in person, and the quality is incomparable. I know I will have this piece for many years to come. I was pleasantly surprised by how easy it is to clean as well. Cannot recommend enough, worth the price!

Every single pan I own

About fifteen years ago I discovered the joy of cooking with cast iron enamel pans. I purchased a very inexpensive set that was beautiful, but cumbersome, dead heavy, and rather poor quality, suffering chips and worn enamel in short order. But it was enough for me to fall in love with cast iron enamel, and I decided to invest in Le Creuset. After getting my first pan, I was hooked; I love the way the heat radiated throughout the pan, evenly cooking food and keeping it hot from stove to table, so I continued collecting pieces. With so many beautiful colors, naturally it was impossible to stick with just one, so I now have several different colors in my collection, and I probably have too many. I display them on a metal étagière in the kitchen. My favorite piece is the large braiser in Coastal Blue, which is so beautiful that I can’t imagine why they discontinued it. Maybe it didn’t sell. Other favorites colors are Ocean, Meringue, and all the whites. There’s one tomato red Dutch oven, I don’t remember the actual color name, but it’s brighter than Cerise, and I love how it reigns among the white and blue. Oh, did I mention they are all such a pleasure for both cooking and serving? Yeah. And I’ve never had a problem cleaning up, even on the few occasions when food got burned on the bottom. Every piece still looks beautiful! Maybe it’s because with so many pieces, no single one gets constant use, but I’ve also heard from people who use one pan for everything, and I totally get it. If you’re not squeamish about a little lifting, I heartily recommend you try Le Creuset’s cast iron enamel cookware. Good luck choosing a color.

Shallow Round Dutch Oven

I was very excited to buy this and have used it many times already. Much larger than I thought it would be, but that’s not a bad thing. I opted for the beautiful camomile colour and could not be happier with that decision. It’s so very lovely.

Incredibly versatile. Can't believe I waited so long to own one of these. Stir fry, sauté, stew, boil pasta, and so on. Easy to clean. Durable.

Versatile and High Quality

Great Dutch Oven. This pot is perfect for stews, soup, braising, and more. The depth and width allows you to cook various amount of dishes. The color finish on the pot is beautiful and looks great when serving on the table. Overall, very satisfied with the quality, versatility, and look of the pot.

Nice But Had A Defect

Very large and heavy but good for stews, etc. This one had a "defect" in the glazing on the top edge of the lid - small but noticeable. I bought one similar but smaller previously and it also had a "defect" in the top of the lid - just like this one; I returned that one for a refund. LeCreuset needs to adopt better quality control, especially in view of how much they charge for their products.

bought this in Cerise

to cook pinto beans with hambone in, but then I got adventurous and have added beef bourguignon, coq au vin and bolognese sauce to my repertoire, as well as Ina Garten engagement chicken. it goes from cooktop, to flambé and then into up to 500•degrees oven then washes up so easily with that beautiful interior finish. one of best investment pieces I’ve ever purchased
