Customer Reviews

Beautiful but not durable
I purchased this pot for myself as a Christmas gift. I read and followed the directions for use and care, always hand-washed the pot, and I never dropped it or banged it into anything.

With normal use and special care, the pot started to get chips in the enamel at the base after about three months. I used it maybe twice a week.
After six months, the chips extended to the inside of the pot and it is now unusable.
This is a very poorly-made product and is not up to the usual Le Creuset high quality standards despite its high price.

Nice pot
I've had this pot for a number of years and just bought one for my mom. It never claims to be the traditional Le Creuset cast iron, so don't expect that. Yes, sometimes food (particularly pasta for me) sticks to the bottom, but it is the same in my other porcelain covered steel pots. I have just become accustomed to stirring more often. I love this pot- it's great for lots of things-pasta, soups and stews, popcorn, etc. I would recommend it.

Beautiful pot - just don't cook with it!
I own many Le Creuset pots (cast iron) and think that they are the best to cook with - even heat and long lasting. This is not of the same quality and should not bear the Le Creuset name. It is a cheap pot with obvious surface flaws, after ONE use the enamel chipped in three places - two inside and one outside. I wasn't exactly trying to put the pot through it's paces, just boiling water (at a medium heat per the instructions).

The color is quite nice, and if you just want a pretty pot sitting on your shelf it is quite economical. But, if you want to actually use it for cooking - do yourself a favor and look elsewhere.
