I needed this to bake a smaller loaf of bread, yes bread. We were wasting a larger loaf so I needed a smaller vessel. This was just what I needed.

My first piece of LeCreuset that I've ever bought for myself - and I love it already! Not only is it beautiful, but it's heavy, and versatile. I've only had the opportunity to use it once - made a casserole that turned out great. I know I'll purchase more pieces - I've already given numerous LeCreuset pieces for gifts and finally decided to treat myself. I bought the cherry red, which is a visual treat.

I bought one of the sets and while the 1 1/4 qt saucepan was good, this is better for us. Since there are just two of us, I need more small pieces and fewer large pieces and this is a great size. Just wish it were in the set I purchased.

I have used Le Creuset pots for over 30 years and they are terriffic! They are the go-to pots in my kitichen when I need a nice slow simmer. Great performance. Drawbacks? Only one - they are heavy. Doesn't bother me, but some folks are concerned with that.

Exceptional and Versatile

Braising, browning, scraping all those flavorful bits; stewing, simmering, whether fish, meats, potatoes, vegetables, sauces, soups, it runs the gamut, and it's so versatile going from the stovetop into the oven. Extremely easy to handwash (or dishwasher). The handles ensure steadiness with its weight. If you can afford only one purchase in this line, the French oven would be the best investment for its versatile oval size and multiple uses. The cobalt blue was my choice; it's a beautiful piece of cookware, sturdy, and deservedly sits on my stovetop. Highly recommended for years of guaranteed quality cooking.

I have pots and pans - OR so I thought. I received this pot as a gift and was amazed at how easy it was to use and clean. I've made sauces, stews, soup and roasts in this pot. Everything comes out great. This is now the gift I give at Wedding Showers.
Pros: construction, even cooking, Heat retention, multi-purpose, Performs Well

Excellent but pricey

I love my dutch oven! I was skeptical at first b/c of the price but it has turned out to be a great product. I mainly use it for soups and stews. The only issue I have is sometimes I hear a cracking noise when I pour hot liquid into it. That makes me nervous, but I haven't seen any cracks. I recommend slowly pouring hot liquid in instead of just pouring fast.

These are really the best pots I've ever had. I received mine as gifts back in 1988 and they still look & work great and are so easy to care for! Great, even heat conduction, no sticking/burning, great for sauces, soups, stews, etc.

Great Little Oven

If you're cooking for two, you need this oven.
Great for stews, braises, or small casseroles.
Because of the enamel, you do not need to season the vessel and clean-up is a breeze.
Same heat conduction as any Dutch Oven, maybe better, because the lid is wrought iron as well.
Hands down better than any Dutch Oven, this French Oven is simply a Great Little Oven.
