In the 1960's my parents scraped up enough money to buy me a fairly complete set of Le Crueset cookware, I had attended the original Culinary Institute of America when it was located in New Haven, Conn. and, we enjoyed entertaining family and friends at home. Needless to say, the cook and serve feature really added to the smooth flow of the meals.
Fast foward to 2005, I had the Le Creuset items at a summer cottage, my wife told me some of her "fellow" Home Economic Teachers were going to visit and stayfor a few days, a few days later the guests told my wife to get me out of the house for the day and they would prepare a fine evening meal for us. Anyhow we came home to a fine meal, the women cleaned up after the meal and we retired for the night. After the guests left and everything returned to normal my wife droped a bomb on me, her friends used several pieces of the cast-enamel cookware and took them off the range and out of the oven and transfered the foods to tableware servers, the cast items went directly to a sink of water and that was it, pots and pans and covers were destroyed from the shock/expansion/contraction.
BE CAREFUL AND WATCH OUT.

Product Description:
Slightly shallower and wider than its round counterpart, this reliable vessel from Le Creuset features an oval shape and the manufacturer's signature combination of cast iron and coated enamel. The piece not only retains and distributes heat evenly; its strong surface resists scratches, stains, and the damaging effects of regular household use. Measuring 16 by 10-1/5 by 7-1/5 inches, the pot holds 8 quarts, making it perfectly suited to prepare soups and stews, saute vegetables, or roast meats and poultry. The accompanying oval lid fits evenly with its base and traps in moisture to preserve flavor. A black, phenolic knob centered on its surface resists heating, while two loop handles flank the main body and facilitate transport. Although practical in every way, the pot doesn't sacrifice an attractive appearance. Its shiny finish--available in many colors--enables the cookware to transition from stove to tabletop and hold its own as serveware. Hand washing is recommended and each Le Creuset cast-iron product comes with a lifetime warranty.
