C'est magnifique...at first
By Eric Hwang
I spent countless hours pouring over the various reviews of all the different Dutch ovens out on the market and in the end, this is the one that I ended up with. I have no regrets and this purchase only reinforces the old adage that you get what you pay for. Provided you don't do something stupid--like pouring ice cold liquids onto a blazing hot enameled surface--this pot should last a lifetime. More than I could say for the cheaper Chinese-made pots on the market. Lodge, Calphalon and Rachel Ray have got nothing on this pot.When I first started looking at a decent enameled Dutch oven, I just wanted something to braise meats. Now that I have it, I go out of my way to find recipes that will allow me to use this pot. At first I thought it would be too small for the size meals that I often prepare for family dinner night. But it could easily hold a 6 to 8 pound roast or a small chicken. I looked a the 7-1/4 quart pot but found it to be a bit too heavy and was afraid it wouldn't fit in the cabinet. The 5-1/2 quart is the right balance of size and weight, fits conveniently in the drawer with my other cookware and it looks wonderful in the kitchen and on the dining room table.The enameled surface is extremely durable. I have accidentally left it on high heat and scorched the surface but it cleans up just fine without any vigorous scrubbing. The light cream colored interior is perfect for seeing the color of the liquids. The handles are sized right and the lid fits tightly. It's a joy to use and if I had any complaint about it, it would be the weight.Update:Since I bought this pot over 5 years ago, it has gotten quite a bit of use. Unfortunately, it's also beginning to show some signs of wear. The edges of the rim on the outside glazing has a few small chips. The interior has a stain that I can't seem to remove. But the worst problem has been that the lid no longer fits tightly. Either the lid or the pot has developed a warp and the lid only seems to fit when turned to a specific spot. I noticed that the newer Le Creuset Dutch ovens now have a more substantial lid to prevent this sort of thing. For this I have to knock off a star from my rating. But only one star, because, in all fairness, I can send it back under warranty and have it replaced.

You cannot go wrong with this. You will own this forever, it will become a staple in your kitchen. Nothing sticks to it, it goes from stove top to oven, you can use it for practically everything you cook.

...and my husband is getting our money's worth out of this gem. Watch the chefs on TV and you'll see it in action. Compare it to other, less expensive cookware; Le Creuset is worth the price tag. Expect everything from this oven: even cooking, miraculously easy clean-up, and I'll bet it's indestructible. It's gone from stovetop to oven, from soups and stews to spaghetti sauce. It's a good thing it's so attractive since it never gets put away. If you're a serious cook, you should own this.
