Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com Review
This 5-1/2-quart French oven by Le Creuset is the most forgiving pan I've ever used. If you just happen to forget you're sauteing onions for a soup while you answer the telephone, there's no need to worry--the onions won't burn. Enameled cast iron has been recognized as one of the best materials available for cookware because it retains heat and promotes gentle, even cooking at low heat ensuring that the best flavor is brought out from the ingredients. It's perfect for use on any heat source--gas, electric, radiant, ceramic, halogen, induction, or solid fuel. There's also a tight-fitting, enameled cast-iron lid that helps seal in heat and flavor. Food will be kept hot as you bring it to the table for serving. And you will certainly want to serve out of this beautiful piece--the color and shiny finish will brighten any table setting. The French oven measures 10-1/2 by 4-1/2 inches and carries a lifetime warranty. --Jane DePaolo

35 years and still cooking
I really did inherit a pot just like this from my mother. She bought it in France when I was about eight or nine. Mum finally passed it on to me when it became too heavy for her to lift easily and I've been using it for nearly twenty years, despite it being orange and clashing horribly with everything else. Now I'm thrilled to have completely worn out my stainless steel pots and pans so I have an excuse to buy some more le Crueset. There are now such lovely colours to choose from and I can match the pots to my dishes for serving at the table (not forgetting the heat pad or the table will be scorched). I won't however part with my mother's orange pot until my own daughter grows up.
PS. Don't tell anyone but I regularly put it in the dishwasher and it's doing just fine.
meets our expectations
We had heard good things from other people who have purchased Le Creuset products and it is easy to see why. Not only does it cook and clean well, it is a beautiful addition to our home. We hate to put it in a cabinet. We are looking forward to the upcoming season to make soups and stews.
Wonderful Le Creuset French Oven
This is the best French Oven I have ever used. It cooks evenly and cleans easily. While it is very heavy, that must add to the excellence of its cooking and that's what I wanted. No complaints. 5 Stars!
