Have multiple Le C products, some years old and all still used. This new legumier perfect for smaller servings, glad it has been resurrected from archives.
Smooth ears for handles will be easier to keep clean than loops and not too heavy for oven removal when full. Can be stored on range top as good looking and colorful; matches my Le C items.

Colorful enameled and lined cast iron is a traditional favorite of fine chefs for slow braising and roasting. The next step is to use the right size pan so that added moisture is properly proportional to the items being roasted or braised. This two quart 'legumier' is just right for preparing 2-4 servings of baked beans or stew or for 'roasting' two game hens.
The enameled lining means you can use acidic ingredients in a braise or pan sauce without leaching iron from the pot into the food. Clean-up is also easier than with copper or aluminum pans and, if the proper heat is used, food sticks less on the interior with enameled cast iron than with stainless steel or aluminum pans.
I especially like the cast iron 'loop' handle on the top and the generous 'ears' on the sides for picking up the pot. These are integral to the legumier so they won't come loose in several lifetimes. With this size pot, there is no trouble about the relatively heavy weight of cast iron when moving the piece around. I also found the tasteful and homey appearance of this pot to be irresistable for working with it and for serving from it at the table.

All the wonderful qualities of Le Creuset, but in a condensed version. Since it's only 2 quarts, it's perfect for making meals for one with some left overs for lunch the next day. A must have for when you don't want to deal with the big, heavy pots!
