5 Stars Right size and shape
I cooked short libs roast, whole chicken roast, beef chuck roast with this dutch oven, all of them were around 5-6 pounds. All the recipes are from “All About Braising” and they are all excellent! As a matter of fact,a whole chicken braised in a pot is very new to me but the chicken was very moist and tasted better than the one roasted in a roasting pan.
The previous review about size helped me land a right decision a lot. We are only two but love to have some leftovers as these slow cooking meals taste even better on the following day. In addition, I wanted to buy a pot accomodating 6-8 people main meal when we invite some of our friends.
I considered to buy a round 7.25 qt but found it too heavy with all the ingredience. To me lifting this 6 3/4 pot with a whole bird stuffed looks maximum. Also, in terms of even heating with my stove top, I am not sure about bigger size more than a round 7.25 and a oval 6 3/4.
All in all, I am very much satisfied with the pot’s versatility and ability to cook things beautifully. It is a significant investment but I strongly believe that I will use this pot at least twice per week from Autum to Spring.
5 Stars As good as its reputation
I was a little concerned over complaints about Le Creuset’s weight–yes, you can really get a good upper body workout schlepping it around your kitchem–and problems with clean up. I use Bon Ami and it came clean after every time (18 stovetop and oven uses, so far) I’ve cooked with it. Yes, it is indeed pricey, but how many reading this have spent hundreds on cheap, shoddy imitations–cutlery and cookware come to mind–when just paying for quality the first time would have saved so much? Save up, do without for a bit, and buy something your great grandchildren will fight over.
5 Stars My Favorite Pot in the Kitchen!
I waited forever before I finally broke down and bought my first Le Creuset. I finally gave in and just hoped that it was money well spent. Well, I have not regretted my decision for a second. Not only does this pot look great just sitting out for display on the stove, but it cooks like a dream. I use it for so many dishes, and clean up is a breeze. If you’ve been shy about getting one, don’t be. It’s a sound and safe investment — not like one you might make via Wall Street!
5 Stars It’s like this…
You know when you pay a lot of money for something and when you’re driving home with it or the email confirmation comes thru that you now own it you kind of say “Yikes, what did I just do?”. That’s what happens when you drop several hundred dollars on this pot. But then the magic begins and you soon realize, wow, this could be the best cookware investment I ever made. Everthing comes out, well, perfect. Cleans in a snap. Looks like you even paid more for it than you actually did. Just buy it.
5 Stars nice looking and very useful
Once you own a Le Creuset you will want a few more. It goes from stove to oven to table. Easy to clean and cooks food to perfection. This is not my first Le Creuset and its not my last.
