Amazon.com Review
Beautiful enough for the table and durable enough to outlive its lifetime warranty against defects, this heavy, round, 4-1/2-quart soup pot is shaped to circulate ingredients' flavor while they simmer. Soup, stew, beans, or corned beef and cabbage then can be served stylishly. The pot is made of cast iron, with both exterior and interior clad in two coats of enamel. As cast iron is unexcelled for heat distribution and retention and enamel is impervious to acids and odors, the pot browns and cooks food uniformly and gently without hot spots and can be used for marinating. It's safe on any stovetop, including induction, and dishwasher-safe. The plastic knob on its heavy, tight-fitting lid is ovenproof to 450 degrees F. Like all Le Creuset cast-iron products, it's hand cast in a one-of-a-kind sand mold and hand finished at the Le Creuset factory in France. It carries a lifetime warranty against defects. --Fred Brack

Great pot!
I love this pot! I made a roast in it and it was awesome. The best thing was that cleanup was an absolute breeze. The one thing I was a little disappointed about was that the top handle can only sustain temps in the oven up to 375 degrees.

bad shape
I bought this and ended up returning. It has a very small bottom. I would have liked to brown ingredients first and then add rest and bake. It is just a poor design. Doesn't live up to the wonderful quality that le creuset has.

Perfect size and not too heavy
I have tons of Le Creuset but this is one of the best. Some of the other ones I have are a little on the heavy size and get really heavy when I fill them with stew.

It's also great that this one holds just the right amount of food for various common dishes. It holds all my stews, veggies (I make veggies for my baby with this with a little amount of water. I don't lose the vitamins from the veggies this way into the water like I would with the normal veggie boiling process), risotto, pasta... name it, it can be done!

This lime color is beautiful too. It went with my white applicance kitchen and now looks beautiful with my black appliance kitchen. Brightens up the room really well too!
