Expensive but awesome
I have long wanted to try receipes using a french oven and after receiving this amaxing pan, I have tried two, a delicious beef brisket and roasted chicken. Loved the pan! Easy clean up even though food baked inside for over four hours. And really nice to be able to heat the drippings on my gas stove without the need for an additional pan.

Couldn't Live Without IT!
I received this Le Creuset oval French Oven 10 years ago as a wedding gift, and it iis by far the most used baker I own! I use it at least twice a week - either to roast chicken, make a soup or stew, cook meatballs, and almost everything! I love the fact that it is pretty enough to go from the oven to the table if need be, and the enamel makes it a snap to clean. Being a long-time owner of this french oven, what surprises me the most is that it has worn well. If you were to see it in my kitchen today, you would never know that it is 10 years old!

great in the kitchen
We received this oven as a gift, and weren't sure how much we'd use it. We started out trying the recipes that came with the oven, and found we loved it, and now we use it all the time!
Our usual routine for this one is: stovetop for browning the ingredients, then oven for the slow, tenderizing cooking. We don't even need recipes any more; we just follow the basic steps from the original recipes and use whatever ingredients sound good, or whatever we have on hand.
All our meats turn out great -- we've done chicken and beef, lots of different cuts. We're very happy with this oven.

Best ovenware EVER
I received this as a Christmas gift, and I am in love with it. It cooks extremely evenly, cleans up like a breeze and I use this before any other ovenware I own. I wish I had the whole set.

I love Le Creuset!
This is an essential piece for stews and braising. I use mine for braising oxtails and veal shanks. After hours in the oven, they make a beautiful presentation on the table and are easy to clean. Even though these items are a bit pricey, they are totally worth it. They will last you forever!

Excellent Choice
My wife requested this item as a gift. I was a somewhat skeptical that it would see much use in our kitchen but wow!! was I mistaken! We use this oven all the time. This weekend I made an Indian style rice pudding in it and it maintained an even heat perfectly.
It is very easy to clean, the enameled interior cleans beautifully. It is heavy and well constructed and obviously, with proper care, will last many, many years; definitely worth the price.

Great Price!
This is my second piece of Le Creuset (have the grill pan which I use constantly!) and my first meal in this was braised short ribs... delish! This website has the best prices, free shipping and I didn't have to pay tax (yippeee) so I saved a bundle!
