Overpriced and not guaranteed:
Very expensive. Very heavy. Enamel does not last. Doesn't honor guarantee. Bad customer service.
We have bought lots of Le Creuset cookware over the years. We have given lots of Le Creuset as presents- to our kids, to in-laws, to close friends. About eight years ago one of the daughters gave us a 24cm. Dutch oven. This year the enamel on the bottom started peeling. No problem, my wife said. Creuset will honor their 30 year warranty. We mailed the heavy pot back- for 40 Euros since we were in Ireland... more info
Wonderful product:
This French Oven is just the right size for the two of us. I can fill it halfway for a typical meal, or make a double recipe in order to freeze some for another time. It browns things well, goes easily from stove-top to oven, holds the heat in during long simmering, cleans up quickly with a little soak in warm water, and looks great. I have owned some other products from Le Creuset, and they never disappoint. Judy
Use It Constantly:
I received this as part of a set from my husband, who knew I'd been drooling over the Le Creuset lineup for years now. If you're like me and can't visualize 3 1/2 quarts, the pot is about 8 1/2" in diameter and just under 4" deep. I use this all the time and couldn't be happier - food cooks evenly and stays plenty hot enough for second helpings, and it all cleans up with soap and water. The handles on the sides do get hot so be careful with those. The color on mine is a little brighter than I'd expected but... more info
Absolutely Love It!:
Forget the price, I know it's expensive, and it's something you don't have to have. Who cares! It's Le Creuset! It's an amazing pot, the only pot I own that I can cook rice in successfully. I think it's amazing that it can go from stovetop to oven to freezer, and it's also dishwasher safe. It makes life so much more easier. The only thing I regret is I wish I would have picked out a larger pot for our family of four. However, I would not trade this pot for anything now. It looks wonderful on the stovetop... more info
