Editorial Review:
Includes Lid / Cast Iron with Kiwi Enamel Finish
This 5-1/2-quart French oven by Le Creuset is the most forgiving pan I've ever used. If you just happen to forget you're sauteing onions for a soup while you answer the telephone, there's no need to worry--the onions won't burn. Enameled cast iron has been recognized as one of the best materials available for cookware because it retains heat and promotes gentle, even cooking at low heat ensuring that the best flavor is brought out from the ingredients. It's perfect for use on any heat source--gas, electric, radiant, ceramic, halogen, induction, or solid fuel. There's also a tight-fitting, enameled cast-iron lid that helps seal in heat and flavor. Food will be kept hot as you bring it to the table for serving. And you will certainly want to serve out of this beautiful piece--the color and shiny finish will brighten any table setting. The French oven measures 10-1/2 by 4-1/2 inches and carries a lifetime warranty. --Jane DePaolo

le creuset:
Item was pacakged very well and received within time stated. Would buy from this vendor again.
Lifetime of enjoyment ahead:
I believe this is the the best size dutch oven for anyone. It's perfect for a medium roast with veggies, soups or stews, etc. Very easy to clean. This pot is approx. 10 1/2 inches across the top opening and 4 1/2 inches deep. Not to big -- not too small. You'll be grabbing this pot for almost everything you do.
rough edges:
I was so excited to finally have my Le Creuset pot. When I opened it, the first thing I noticed was how rough the edges of the pot and lid were. For all that money, I expected better craftsmanship.
Simply the best:
A perfect tool for the serious cook. It hardly ever gets put away. Perfect browning, even heating, easy to clean. Who could ask for more?
