  • You get what you pay for, so don't shy away from the price.
Color: Cerise Size: 7.25 Qt
OH, I WANTED SO BAD TO LOVE THIS THING VERY, VERY MUCH. It is absolutely perfect, except it's too heavy for me. I am a petite old lady, so it's too much for me to handle, weightwise. I wanted to cry, having to turn around and send it right back, but meanwhile, I'm waiting for a smaller version of this, it is arriving today, yay!!! I have always believed in the adage, you get what you pay for, most of the time. With Le Creuset this is absolutely true. They've been in business a hundred years, and multi-generational families have continued to work there since 1925, because it's a good, solid company to work for. You can't go wrong with Le Creuset, especially if you take really good care of it. Read the instruction manual that comes with it. It is in many different languages. Never heat it above medium, to avoid staining the sand colored enamel inside. If you do stain it, soak it in hot sudsy water during dinner, then later, pour out the soaking water, make a baking soda paste with baking soda and water and it'll come right off. And if it STILL sticks or stains, make a new paste of baking soda and hydrogen peroxide, and slather it all over the stain. Leave it to sit and go watch a movie or something. It should come off with a soft sponge at that point. Never use anything that'll scrape this cookware, and it'll last for generations. No steel wool, and no metal utensils; wood or silicone. The things you learn from the instruction manual, holy smokes!! According to the manual, it can be put in the freezer!! 😲 it can also be put in the fridge because there are no raw iron parts. A lot of people think that the rim and lid have raw cast iron and they season it. You don't ever want to season Le Creuset. That's not raw cast iron exposed. It's a matte grey coat that they spray on the raw cast iron to prime it before they apply the enamel coatings and melt it in an extremely hot crucible. Le Creuset means The Crucible in French. If you go to the factory, you'll see that the crucible is actually shaped like a big sideways C! Which is in their logo! IT HOLDS COLD TEMPERATURE AS EASILY AS IT HOLDS HOT TEMPERATURE! You can fill it up with potato salad or any other cold dish, and put it in the fridge overnight, and then you can take it to a barbecue the next day. Keep it well lidded, perhaps even sitting in a larger container of ice if you're going to be there awhile. Speaking of ice, it can actually be used as an ice bucket, believe it or not! When you look at all the things Le Creuset can do, you realise what a bargain you get when you actually buy it. I don't think the knockoffs can do the same thing, I could be wrong, because I don't know very much about them. I only know what people say about them, and from what I understand they don't really last. But you certainly can't do any cold treatment with raw cast iron, and you definitely can't sit it in the fridge or the freezer for hours and hours on end. It is the ABSOLUTE VERY BEST cookware to use for no oil cooking. My head was turned for about five minutes to the latest trend, beginning with a C and ending with a y... 🤔, because of the high reviews. But then I saw the horror stories on the other side of that. They were REALLY bad, considering that people paid Le Creuset prices for a cheap, thin product that looked beautiful as long as you didn't use it. I had purchased a brand new set of every piece they had, and then paid dearly to send it all right back. Somewhat expensive lesson to pay but whatever. This is the first time in my life I've ever sent any Le Creuset back. And it's only because of the weight. It's just not a realistic choice for me. I told my husband I don't know how anybody can cook with the15.5 qt quart size!! 😲 If you are strong enough to wield a full pot of food in the 7.5 quart, and love plenty of room for mixing and stirring, then this is the pot for you. I couldn't even handle it empty! My hubs is taking it back for me. Hopefully, my next Le Creuset pot will be much easier to handle. ... show more

  • Best Dutch oven on the planet
Color: Flame Size: 7.25 Qt
I am absolutely in love with my Le Creuset Enameled Cast Iron Signature Round Dutch Oven in Flame! This piece of cookware is not just functional but also a beautiful addition to my kitchen. The 7.25 qt. size is perfect for preparing meals for family gatherings or batch cooking. The vibrant Flame color is iconic and looks stunning on my stovetop or when serving directly at the table. What impresses me most is the exceptional heat distribution and retention of the cast iron; it cooks food evenly and keeps dishes warm for a long time. I use it for everything from braising and stewing to baking bread and roasting meats. The tight-fitting lid seals in moisture and flavors, ensuring delicious and tender results every time. The enamel coating makes cleanup a breeze; food slides right off, and it's dishwasher safe for added convenience. The craftsmanship is evident in every detail, from the ergonomic handles that provide a secure grip to the durable build that promises years of use. While Le Creuset is an investment, it's one that's worth every penny for its quality, versatility, and timeless design. Whether you're a novice cook or a seasoned chef, I highly recommend the Le Creuset Dutch Oven—it's a kitchen essential that will elevate your cooking experience." This review highlights the Dutch oven's size, vibrant color, heat distribution and retention, versatility in cooking methods, ease of cleaning, durability, and overall satisfaction with the investment in Le Creuset cookware. ... show more

  • Must Have for Serious Cooks
Color: Marseille Size: 4.5 Qt
My son is an amazing cook, and he really wanted this. I must say that it looks really cool when he cooks with it. There's something about it that just shouts, "Hey, this food is going to be great." He also feel that it cooks better than some of the lower priced Dutch ovens. It seems like it will last him a lifetime. It is the highest quality - super durable and with great heat distribution. Plus, a general great feel and great looks (like I already mentioned). ... show more

  • So Good.
Color: Flame Size: 4.5 Qt
I'm reviewing the 4.5 quart Le Creuset round dutch oven. I have a bunch of Staubs and love them. Also great cast iron, De Buyer carbon steel, stainless steel, and unglazed clay pots. They all work well but for different things. What I'm struck by with this Le Creuset (which means the crucible) is how the enamel works. It's quite different than the Staub enamel. Both are glass on iron and both leave a very clean and direct taste. But the Le Creuset browns quite strongly. It's stickier. And maybe because the casting is so thin, the cooking goes quickly. I have another Le Creuset that's 20 years older, and I can see that they've advanced both their enamel and their casting. These things are hugely expensive, but I really like how this one works, especially with acidic foods (e.g., tomatoes, vinegar). It imparts a lovely taste signature that stainless steel can't, and has great--perhaps perfect--proportions for a dutch oven. Plus, for enamel, Le Creuset (and Staub) are the most chip resistant ones available. I've put my old one through so many torture scenarios and it's still like new. ... show more
