Best Duch Oven Ever March 7, 2008
siriuschef from New York, NY

"Yes it's a little pricey and a little heavy but it's eye-catchingly beautiful and the best cast iron dutch oven you will find on the market today. Le Creuset makes the best quality cast iron cookware available today. This french is extremely versatile and perfect for anything which requires long slow cooking either on the stovetop or in the oven. An iron pot takes longer to heat up than say stainless steel or aluminum but it holds heat longer than either. It cooks everything so perfectly pot roast, soup, stew, pasta sauces, chili, gumbo, braising, slow-cooking, etc and it is incredibly easy to clean without scubbing by soaking overnight in hot, soapy water. And best of all it will outlast almost all of your other cookware. If you are debating whether you should buy a Le Creuset French Oven, stop debating and just buy it, and I guarantee you will not regret it."

Heavy, but worth every penny! January 4, 2008
contex from Austin, TX

"I love all my Le Creuset items. It perfectly conducts the heat evenly for great results. This size is perfect for a pot of soup or stew. Even though it is not non-stick, it is a breeze to clean with soap and water. The only downside to this pot is the weight, it is a bit heavy."
