Best Present Ever
My husband is a professional chef; he has wanted a LeCruset French Oven for our home for years; however, he would not indulge in this "luxury".
For Christmas this year, I gave him this large French Oven.
1. He loved his Christmas gift.
2. Truly makes a difference in how stews/meats/meals taste. The even distribution of the heat makes a significant impact on taste and cooking time. You can also hold a meal much longer without ruining it. He prepared 4 superb meals in the first week.
3. I like how easy it is to clean.

Best Ever Purchase
Even though this is a pricey item. The Le Creuset French Oven has by far been the best purchase I have ever made. I have used my french oven for Osso Bucco, soups and even my pot sticking scalloped potatoes. The pot cleaned up with little or no soaking each time.
I will definitely continue to add Le Creuset to my collection of cookware.

Love the way this cooks!
i have been looking at these French ovens by Le Creuset for a long time, so finally bought one with my Christmas money. Made a big batch of homemade chicken soup, and loved the way it sauteed the vegetables first, then simmered and not boiled. I ordered the 9 quart for smaller batches of things, and cleared lots of space in my kitchen bookshelf unit, getting rid of all those cookbooks I don't need, and now I can enjoy them every day. Yes they are heavy...I just have to change how I do things a little bit. I know you've been looking at them, too. You know you want one.

Great dutch oven.
This dutch oven was all I hoped for. Great surface area. I braised 6 huge veal shanks and there was plenty of room. I want a 7 quart one now.

So happy!!!
I am so happy I finally went ahead and paid the big dollar for this pot. I have wanted one for years. Not only does it cook perfectly it is gorgeous too. The cobalt blue matches in my kitchen beautifully.

I thought he had lost his mind!
I cook Seafood Gumbo every Christmas and a few other times during the year .This past Christmas the cleanup was worse than ever. The Gumbo had burned on the bottom again! My husband new what a time I was having. The next thing I knew he had ordered this 13 quart Le Creuset Round French Oven. I thought he had lost his mind! Until this pot I had never had any of the Le Creuset bake wear. My Gumbo is cooked on top of an electric stove all day. Because of the even heating of this cookwear the Gumbo did not burn on the bottom . The clean up was a snap! I have also cooked a 12 lb roast in the oven, and it turned out unbelievable. I am making Veg beef soup today . Another thing I like about this pot you can saute right in the pot and than add your other ingredients and mess up only one pot. I love this pot! I can't wait to get some more of the same cookware. Happy Cook

Best Purchase Ever!!!!!
This is the most versatile item in my kitchen
I purchased the largest Le Creuset French Oven several years ago and I am so glad the price didn't scare me away.
My oven is used every week; from my "Come and Get It Chili", to my "Creative Chicken Soup", to my "Put it in your belly Pot Roast", to my "Save your appetite Stew", and also my "Sunday Spaghetti Sauce"....Oh, there's more......... I honestly had to use two pots to make these dishes before I purchased the Le Creuset French oven, and of course, I had to watch they didn't bottom burn.
The Le Creuset French Oven cooks better, faster and more evenly. I would recommend this product with no hesitation.

The best!
I got this french oven a few months ago, I have always been cooking with cast iron cookwares for a while now but I was so impressed with this Le Creuset french oven that I had to buy additional to replace my cheaper versions of cast iron enamel cookwares. Here is why. 1. The pot is lighter than the competition 2. It's made so well, I like the lid not getting hot after cooking for a long time, my other pots get hot 3. It cleans VERY WELL. 4. It's so huge that you can cook ANYTHING in it. you can double or triple recipes easily.
