Amazon.com Review
This 5-1/2-quart French oven by Le Creuset is the most forgiving pan I've ever used. If you just happen to forget you're saut�ing onions for a soup while you answer the telephone, there's no need to worry--the onions won't burn. Enameled cast iron has been recognized as one of the best materials available for cookware because it retains heat and promotes gentle, even cooking at low heat ensuring that the best flavor is brought out from the ingredients. It's perfect for use on any heat source--gas, electric, radiant, ceramic, halogen, induction, or solid fuel. There's also a tight-fitting, enameled cast-iron lid that helps seal in heat and flavor. Food will be kept hot as you bring it to the table for serving. And you will certainly want to serve out of this beautiful piece--the deep color and shiny finish will brighten any table setting. --Jane DePaolo

Great pot, great results, great everything June 30, 2008
I have both the 5 1/2 quart round and the 9 1/2 oval in the beautiful Flame color, and both have had unbelievably delicious results. I've baked bread in these, cooked meats that literally fall off the bone, sticky cheese sauces, you name it! They're really easy to clean too. Le Creuset is indeed pricey, but they are so worth it. These will undoubtedly out-live me. These cost a lot of money for a reason--you're getting THE BEST.

The best cookware ever! March 25, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful

This is my first Le Creuset piece and I must say that it is the absolute best cookware I have ever used. I've owned it for about 4 months and find myself using it as often as possible to make soups, stews, chili, sauces, the best pot roasts and whatever else I can throw into it. On the downside I will say it is quite heavy and takes some getting used to because it transfers and holds the heat so well. Instead of setting your soup on a 3 or 4 setting to simmer you can actually set this on 1 with the lid on and it will simmer great. As I progress in age I have found myself buying higher end cookware, electronics, appliances, etc. and have finally realized you get what you pay for. This cookware, in my humble opinion is definately worth the extra money and is by far my most used piece of cookware that I own. I just ordered my second piece of Le Creuset and can't wait to use it.

I had no idea! January 5, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful

It pained me to spend this much for a pot, but I don't regret it a bit now. A French stew that burned the last time I made it in my Calphalon dutch over came out perfect with this thing. And, after 2 1/2 hours in the over, it required no soaking for clean up and had no staining whatsover. This is a hefty little number. You can tell it's very well made.

Item was damaged during shipment December 28, 2007
3 out of 12 found this review helpful

The item was damaged during shipment. It was very poorly packed and so I am not surprised that it was damaged. The return process was easy and the refund was prompt. I am, however, very disappointed in the manner in which it was shipped by Amazon (not by a third party). I ended up purchasing another product (not Le Creuset)locally of equal or better quality for less than half the price.
