Product Description
Le Creuset Round French Oven - This everyday Round French Oven (or Dutch oven, referred by most people) never makes it to the cupboard: it goes from the stove or oven to the table to the dishwasher then back to the stove for tomorrow's dinner. If there are leftovers in the pot, save them for tomorrow. You can store it in the refrigerator or in the freezer and not worry about food reacting to the porcelain enamel surface. For generations, families have come to cherish the classic cocotte - the Round French Oven. This everyday pot never makes it to the cupboard: it goes from the stove or oven to the table to the dishwasher then back to the stove for tomorrow's dinner. If you want to keep leftovers in the refrigerator or freezer, you can store in our Le Creuset pot and not worry about food reacting to the porcelain enamel surface.

Amazon.com Review

Beautiful enough to bring to the table, yet durable enough to outlive its 101-year warranty against defects, this heavy French oven is perfect for preparing and serving ceremonious dishes such as braised short ribs with sauerkraut, cassoulet, and vegetable soup. Use it in the oven or on the stovetop. Made of cast-iron, which is unexcelled for its heat distribution and retention, this French oven cooks foods evenly and gently without hot spots at low temperatures and is suitable for all heat sources. This pan holds 7-1/4 quarts, measures 11 inches in diameter, and its exterior and interior are clad in two coats of Le Creuset's famous bright enamel. The plastic knob on its heavy, tight-fitting lid is ovenproof to 450 degrees F. Loop handles facilitate carrying, and the oven is dishwasher-safe. Like all Le Creuset cast-iron products, it is hand-cast in a one-of-a-kind sand mold and hand-finished at the Le Creuset factory in France. --Fred Brack

I love our Le Creuset french oven February 15, 2008
This is our second Le Creuset french oven. I bought a huge 13 1/4 Le Creuset french oven a few years ago and we use it all the time. My husband is the chef in our family and he uses our Le Creuset cookware to make his stews, chili, gumbo, etc. For those who don't need to cook gigantic portions, the 7 1/4 qt french oven is plenty large enough enough to feed a family and still have leftovers. We've used many types of cookware over the years but find that the Le Creuset is better at heat distribution and also maintains the heat very well. The porcelain enamel covered cast iron cleans up very easily and our pots have held up beautifully with repeated use. So far we have had no problem with chips, scratches or discolorations. Granted, Le Creuset cookware is far from cheap, but will quickly become your favorite cookware. With proper care, these french ovens will last a lifetime and will probably be passed onto your next generation.

I bought this because I have seen it recommended many times by Cook's Illustrated. (Cook's Illustrated, by the way, has incredible recipes both in the cook books and their magazine, and offers some of the best advice for how to get the most out of this baby. The February 2008 issue of Cook's Illustrated magazine, for example, has recipes for No-Knead Bread, French Onion Soup, Stews, and French Chicken in a Pot that all make good use of this covered pot.)

I've used my French Oven to make stews and No-Knead Bread, and the food has been fantastic. Baking bread in one of these as taught by Cook's Illustrated gives the bread a crisp, crunchy crust that ordinarily you have to go to a bakery to find. People rave about my home-baked bread.

I love it!

This French oven cannot be topped!!! February 6, 2008
Not only does it look beautiful, it assists in preparing beautiful, and delicious food!

Be careful though, as it is large and heavy. But if you've got space, and a love of fine cooking equipment, than this should be on your list!

Final thing to note is that cleaning up is a snap. And who doesn't like the sound of that!?!?!

Worth every penny February 6, 2008
This is a fantastic cooking implement. It is the most versatile cookware I own. I've used it for soup, for risotto, for roasting a chicken, for cooking vegetables. It makes a wonderful fond, but cleans up easily. I love it! I am going to buy some more Le Creuset cookware on the strength of this purchase.
