Review 1 for Le Creuset 2.25-Quart Saucier
sherryberry
fromSan Diego CA
This pan gets washed and put back on the stove. It doesn't ever see the inside of the cabinet. It is a permanent fixture in the kitchen. I either wilt spinach, boil water for hard boiled eggs for sandwiches, or make a wonderful batch of oatmeal for the family, or gently cook chicken in cream sauce or you can throw together some wonderfully fresh soups in small batches for the freezer..I make a brie soup that requires absolute distribution of gentle heat...this pan can do this.....it just seems to do it all. The heat distributes beautifully and the iron core allows me to cook at a lower heat with more control over the outcome.... and more vitamins! It just doesn't get any better than this...and I have had expensive copper pans with silver lining. This pan cleans up instantly and is ready for whatever I need to cook next. I even cook steak in olive oil over low heat in it and it comes out wonderfully tender and juicy. Give it as a wedding gift EVERYONE needs this pan! I have been cooking for large and small groups of people for over 43 years and I should have had this little sweetheart 40 years ago....life would have been a lot easier! S.
Pros: construction, Easy to Clean/Wash, even cooking, Functional/Useful, Heat distribution, Heat retention, Long-lasting, multi-purpose, quality, Value for Money, Variety of Colors

Sinatra
fromMcLean, VA
This saucier is the perfect size for a meal for two and is so versatile, can be used for "one pot" meals, on the stovetop or in the oven, and for sauces, etc. It's so good looking and a great compliment to other Le Creuset cookware. It's a great housewarming gift, too, it's so "multi-talented" you don't need as many other pots (though you will want all of the Le Creuset set once you try this one!).

Great size - very usable
PostedJuly 8, 2011
I love LeCreuset and this is a handy size. However, I'm disappointed that there seems to be no consistency in design. This has a totally different style lid than the others that I own. (And all the others were purchased in the last 2 months). I know this is perhaps a minor point BUT when we're paying so much for cookware, we'd like it to at least MATCH with all the other pieces in the line.

I looked all over for this pan to add to my collection. I've cooked wtih LeCreuset for over 40 years and I love it. Was so glad that when I couldn't find it at any other store, Chef's Catalog had it and at a more reasonable price than the stores which were sold out of it had offered it for! And it got here fast.

special
PostedDecember 13, 2010
As usual with le Creuset products, this is a winner. Provides even heat throughout the cooking process and cleans up easily. Can't beat that! I bought a new color this time (each one I have is a different color) and find it to be attractive. These pans have proven to be an appreciated investment.

I have one of these saucier in "dijoin" but couldn't resist the new cassis color. I absolutely LOVE it! I already loved the pan itself--but cooking with this delicious color makes cooking even more fun!!

Le Creuset lives up to it's long-time reputation. Wonderful pot. It is multi-purpose from sauces to one-pot dinners. The eye appeal is a bonus. This pot is beautiful! The one drawback is the price, so I had to give only 4 stars.

Best-Designed Saucier Ever
PostedJanuary 16, 2009
I cannot recommend this saucier highly enough. It's not too heavy for a woman to lift, thanks to the helper handle tab. I have cooked all sorts of vegetables in it, using just a little water to create steam. Each time, the vegetables cooked thoroughly and the lid's vent hole worked perfectly. I've even cooked lemon pudding from scratch in this pan, with lots of stirring involved. The curved bottom lends itself beautifully to such prolonged stirring. The handle is not too long, featuring a slight curve—the result of brilliant design. Given the choice of using plastic or wooden utensils in Le Creuset cookware, go for the wooden items every time. You will never worry about temperature tolerance with wood, nor be concerned about nicking the enameled coating. I understand that Le Creuset also offers this saucier in a 1-quart size. Chefs Catalog should definitely carry it!
Pros: vent hole in lid, helper handle tab, slightly curved handle is easy to grasp

GREAT PIECE
PostedJanuary 8, 2009
This piece is great for side dishes. I have owned a couple Le Creuset pieces for several years now, but never appreciated them until moving into our new home. Our old home had natural gas provided by the city we live in. Our new home is a country home and has liquid propane. I found the flame to burn lower and it seemed to take forever to cook. NOT with the Le Creuset items. The cast iron enables it to cook more quickly and more evenly. We now are boiling water in half the time we were in our Teflon. I was worried about sticking and, of course, there is some, but not if you are careful and the clean up is easy. I will say the Le Creuset is pricey, but we are slowly switching over and they will be pieces that last years and will probably be passed down!!
Cons: pricey

Marvelous. I use this all the time on the stove top and in the oven or both. It is a perfect size for 2 to 4 and is handsome enough to be a serving piece. Braise, pop it in the oven then bring it to the table piping hot. Makes a toothsome presentation.
