Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I agree with the other reviews on the quality, beauty etc.I will concentrate my review on the size of this pot as I had a lot of trouble deciding on size when I was making my purchase.
Le Creusets are good at many things but IMHO the biggest reason for getting one is for its ability to cook gently and slowly over a longer period of time.This lets the flavors of your dish mix together beautifully and I have found more dimensions of taste when I cook this way.It's also very good for searing meats and then slowly cooking it until it literally falls off the bone.So the reason I got a Le Creuset oven is to make stews, pasta sauces, soups, and roasts.
The 6.75 quart, oval oven fulfilled my needs perfectly and I have found this size and shape to be quite versatile.I cook for just my husband and myself, but like many people today we both work so I like to make larger portions and freeze half.This pot will fit a double or even a triple recipe for spaghetti sauces and the like.The oval shape allows a rectangular roast or whole chicken or two smaller hens to fit inside.If you're having friends over for dinner and want to make a bigger roast for 4-8 people, chili for a crowd, etc., this is the perfect size to have.
Some people had told me to get a round one if I do mostly stove top cooking, in order to have more even heat distribution from the round burner.I have found that the heat distributes very evenly on the oval shape, so I prefer the oval because it is a better shape for roasts.
Assuming you already have other pots and pans, and are looking to finally add a Le Creuset to your kitchen, IMO this is a very good size/shape to have.
