It doesn't have to take a lifetime to build a functional kitchen. Cooks will find this set to be indispensable when cooking up a dinner party or family feast. Made of enameled cast iron, these Le Creuset pieces absorb and retain heat more efficiently as you cook, roast and bake. The cookware set includes various pieces for cooking stews or soups, searing steaks, warming sauces or baking lasagna.6-pc. Set Includes:2.25-qt. Saucier Pan with Lid (14 x 6.5 x 4.5-in.)5.5-qt.

About Le Creuset...Since 1925, artisans have been crafting Le Creuset cookware in the French village of Fresnoy Le Grand. Each piece of Le Creuset cast iron cookware is handcast, polished, double enamel-coated and then fired, resulting in some of the finest quality cookware available. Cast iron is one of the best materials for distributing heat gently and thoroughly and is ideal for induction ranges. The strong enamel coating will not absorb odors or flavors, and is easy to clean. Heavy lids securely seal in moisture and flavor. Le Creuset cookware comes in a variety of sizes, colors and styles to match any kitchen and cooking preference. So lasting, you'll pass it on to the next generation of promising cooks.
Le Creuset combines four of its most well-used cast-iron cookware items in this excellent gift set. Included are a 5-1/2-quart round French oven with lid; 2-1/4-quart lidded saucier; and 10-inch square skillet grill with raised ridges, helper handle, and two pour spouts; and a small 8-by-10-inch roaster. Each heavy piece is coated with hard porcelain enamel for superior performance, and is attractive and durable enough to go straight from the stovetop or oven to the table. You'll find the saucier ideal for whisking sauces and heating soup; the French oven perfect for casseroles and stews; the skillet an indoor barbecue substitute for getting those char stripes on hamburgers; and the roaster perfect for everything from baked potatoes to brownies.
Le Creuset is known for suffusing the exterior of its products with bright, modern colors, while keeping a more neutral tone on the interior to showcase the cuisine. The enamel resists cracking and staining and is best cared for when the contents are stirred with nylon, wood, or silicone utensils. It's also so smooth that food particles tend not to stick, making cleaning by hand or in the dishwasher a snap. Made in France, Le Creuset premium cookware brings joie de vivre to any kitchen it graces and is covered by a lifetime warranty, whether you bought the item for yourself or received it as a gift. --Ann Bieri

Le Creuset 6 Piece Set Carribean Blue:
I reccomend this product to any avid cook. Especially for soups and stews, the dutch oven is just...marvelous. Searing in the pan is a breeze and gives it great color. They are so easy to clean up. Its just great. I've been wanting this for a long time and it has met and exceeded my expectations.
Pitted pot:
I bought the Dune set on a lightning deal. The 5.5 qt oven had a pitting problem. Two deep pits on the bottom interior surface and many minor pits on the outside. It would be a second in the Le Creuset outlet. I contacted Amazon and they were great and sent out a replacement set, not only the oven. The second set had one pit mark on the interior side of the 5.5 qt so I keept it and sent the rest of the second set back with the first pitted 5.5 qt oven. It was a pain since the box weighs 40 pounds. Amazon... more info
The best out there:
This is by far the best cookware available. My advice, READ the manual before using if you are not familiar with the way cast iron cooks. I made the mistake of turning my burners to high heat when they function on low to medium! You will burn your food and ruin your pan if you use the high heat! Other than that (which is entirely my fault for not reading) this is so nice to have in my collection. This set is perfect to round off a cookware set.
Best price online!:
I just ordered this Le Creuset cookware set today. I can't wait to get it. I found the same set online through Williams-Sonoma and other sites for roughly $100 more. I am so glad I found this set here at Amazon for less. I have heard wonderful things about Le Creuset: sturdy, cooks well, distributes heat evenly, enamel porcelain doesn't scratch, cleans easily, and creates a nice presentation from oven to table. Looking forward to using the set!
