not just for soup!
By B. McGowan
This is one of Le Creuset's more affordable cooking pots, and it makes for a great introduction to an amazing product line. The pot responds excellently to a low or middle flame. Cranking up a high flame under it lessens its trademark conductivity, and will lead to unsuccessful attempts at more complicated soups. The best part about this pot is that it can be used for Indian and Thai curries that call for long simmering periods. Scorch oils, onions, spices etc. in a Calphalon or All Clad frying pan on high heat. Then transfer the ingredients to the Le Creuset pot, add the remaining ingredients such as meats, coconut milk, cream, or vegetables and you will preserve delicate, sometimes tempermental flavors that need to be simmered in a precisely controlled environment which the Le Creuset soup pot wonderfully provides. Cream, butter, and milk in soups and curries will also be less prone to separating(breaking) with this fantastic soup pot.Give it a try!

By Beth DeRoos
I love this soup pot. I own virtually every Le Creuset item made since the sixties, plus a few pieces handed down to me. And an excellent soup pot it is. I also recommend their new Doufeu which I own and love. Best meat cooker I have ever owned.The difference between this and the various Le Creuset dutch ovens is the curved shape which allows soup stocks and broths to simmer slow and not have any meat or vegetables settle into straight sides. This can be tricky for the serious cook, because food that cannot be stirred completely can settle and overcook leaving an off taste. The size is also nice for two to six healthy servings of a hearty soup or stew.And the cost isn't that high when one considers the near one hundred year guarantee Le Creuset offers on its products. And its called a soup pot not a casserole. So one can simmer on a low flame any soup, with the heavy cast iron core holding the heat at a steady temperature which is what produces the best soups.

By Eric Antonow
The single best pots for doing rich chicken dishes and the like. Conducts heat perfectly, well-balanced and very easly to clean. So many great meals have emerged from these pots that I tend to cook more frequently, especially the more slow-cooking or complex dishes.
I inheirited one of these pots and then bought another. Since then I have excused all similar imitations from the kitchen.
If I had to equipt my kitchen with 3 cooking pots/pans, this would come right after the skillet and sauce pan.
