Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Three years ago, I ordered one of these beauties because I noticed that each and every host on the Food Network, from Martha to Mario was using this pot. I didn't know Le Creuset from Adam, and I thought the height of culinary sophistication was my eight quart Calphalon anodized aluminum Dutch oven. I even went so far in thinking that the TV guys were using this pot because it was white on the inside, so it was easy for the camera to see what was going on.
Boy, was I wrong. Ever since I got this pup, I have used it for every soup, every braise, every stew, and every pot roast I have made since. At about the same time I got an oval shaped pot and a similar sized pot shaped primarily for making soups. All three are about the same size and weight. I never use the other two except when I have something which is a lot longer than it is wide.
The heat management is flawless, it is easy to clean, and it is tolerant of too much heat.
As other reviewers have noted, it is a bit heavy, so if you commonly have problems with heavy cookware, consider a smaller one or my retired aluminum pot.
Very highly recommended for both gas and electricity.

Product Description:
This reliable vessel from Le Creuset features the manufacturer's signature combination of cast iron and coated enamel. The piece not only retains and distributes heat evenly, but its strong surface resists scratches, stains, and the damaging effects of regular household use. The pot holds a generous 9 quarts making it perfectly suited for preparing soups and stews, sauteing vegetables, or roasting meats and poultry. Oven-safe to 400 degrees F, the accompanying round 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. Washing the unit by hand is recommended. The pot measures approximately 10 by 12 by 5-1/2 inches and carries a lifetime warranty against defects.
