Who says that romance is dead?
After years of marriage (almost 46) and so many gifts of jewelry, apparel, etc. on 'special' days, this Mother's Day I opted to gift my wife with a dijon yellow Le Creuset round french oven - to brighten-up our kitchen and replace a very old piece of cookware that had outlived its usefulness. Surprise! She loved it and said it was one of her best gifts ever.

Worth its weight.
I am pleased with the service that Chefs.com provided. Got my delivery quickly and safely. Happy with the Cobalt color and glad that I went with the larger-sized pot. It can fit a 4.5 lbs chicken with room for vegetables. Food cleans off easily from the pot, just be prepared to hold on tight once you get it into the sink with soap and water. Building-up your arm muscles is a side benefit when you take it in and out of the oven. One down side is that I found the enamel on the bottom easy to scratch when taking it in and out of the oven.

Best Purchase Ever
I purchased this for my daughter for Christmas. Both my daughter & son-in-law were so happy - a dream come true.
I decided on this size because they love to make soups & sauce. The pot is a little heavy, but the heat is even and eveything cooks even.

Most versatile pot in my kitchen!
I received this as a Christmas gift last year and have become a devoted fan of enamel over cast iron and Le Creuset products ever since!
You will make the best gumbo ever in this pot! and the clean up from making a sticky roux is amazingly easy!
Roasts, stews, soups, gumbos, chili....this pot does everything and looks great going from stove top to oven to table!
Run!...don't walk to the curb to pick up your order from Chef's Catalog and get cooking!

Kitchen Must Have
Love it!. Heavy enough to flatten uneven electric range surfaces and heavy lid ensures tight seal, perfect for trapping in moisture in braised meats, big batches of reducing marinaras, curries, etc. And to top it off, it's gorgeous, too. Highly recommended, every kitchen needs a Le Creuset.

I absolutely love this Dutch oven, I have used it to make the very best short ribs I have ever eaten, baked bread in it, made soups in it, and out this world stews in it.

French Oven - Love it!
Love my Le Creuset French Oven. The first dish I made was Beef Stew and it was delicious (the meat was ultra tender). The even distribution and retention of heat was amazing and it was very easy to clean. I would recommend this product to anyone.

Beautiful piece of cookware
I've cooked with Le Creuset before, and the performance and usability are always superb! The 7 1/4-Quart Round French Oven is the perfect size for chili, soups and stews; and the Cassis color is gorgeous! Being cast iron, it's a little heavy, so I wouldn't want it any larger.
