Our pride and joy September 11, 2007

I hate to look back on the days when I didn't own this 9 quart Le Creuset. It's opened up a whole new world in cooking. The first time we used it, we prepared a recipe for chicken cacciatore from Cooks Illustrated (America's Test Kitchen on PBS). It made me feel as though I was ripped off by every restaurant that I had ordered that dish from. We now seek out recipes that call for a french oven. The 9 quart is the perfect size to cook for 6 persons, or even two if you want left overs to bring to work the next day. Now we've become Le Creuset slobs and have the wide 5 quart (it's the shallow of the two 5 quart rounds) that we use for risotto. They say that it was designed for risotto. We also have a 2 quart that we rarely use because of the fact that we want left overs, but it works great for rice, and I mean GREAT. Now we're hemmin and hawin over the 10 1/4 inch cast skillet in carribean blue. We've read so many incredible things about it. Let it be known for anyone that's worried about the heat limitations for the lid knob when used in the oven. Le Creuset just introduced a stainless steel lid knob that can be used for any heat. They put no limitations on the temperature that it can withsatnd, therefore making it better than any other cast iron enamelized french oven. It comes with the screw, and it looks very nice.

You'll L-O-V-E this pot! April 19, 2006

This is my favorite pot. I use it several times a week. Making soups and stews is almost mindless with the predictability of this pot. The heavy lid ensures flavors do not evaporate. This is THE pot for braising a roast, with a little red wine (of course)...or any slow cooking method. If you have never invested in high-end cookware you will be thrilled with this purchase. You will immediately notice an improvement in the quality of food you prepare. It is worth the money!

Makes cooking an adventure! February 27, 2006
5 out of 5 found this review helpful

My husband and I recently tried a Coq au Vin recipe from the newspaper (as aspiring "foodies", we've been watching cooking shows on PBS and this sounded like an adventure), and I realized we didn't have a Dutch oven, anything that could go from stovetop to oven. My oval roaster does a great job on roasts, but seemed too thin to fry bacon on the stovetop as the recipe called for. After doing research on the web, looking at cookware on the cooking shows and in stores, Le Creuset seemed to be the best quality, as well as the nicest looking, especially the red. For now the 9 qt is a good size for us, big enough to cook alot at a time to make plenty of leftovers, yet not too big to handle (getting it in and out of the kitchen cabinet, washing in the sink, etc. The lid is especially heavy!). The cost was more than I originally wanted to spend, but this seemed like a good investment for cooking anything stovetop, oven, or both. We initiated the pot by making beef stew, which turned out to be quite good, and plenty for the two of us for quite a few meals. Even though there was no stovetop-to-oven capability required, the Le Creuset was still fun to use, and looked pretty sitting on the stove. Cleanup was very easy, no sticking or residue to scrub off as on my roasting pan. We're very happy with our French Dutch oven and look forward to using it for future cooking adventures!

Le Creuset 9 qt September 23, 2005

Great product. Pan is extra heavy but very durable. My wife complained when I spent this much on a "pot", however she has used it several times now and likes it. It is a very versatile pot, expecially for one dish meals.

Most valuable pot in your kitchen. Buy It! May 27, 2005

Three years ago, I ordered one of these beauties because I noticed that each and every host on the Food Network, from Martha to Mario was using this pot. I didn't know Le Creuset from Adam, and I thought the height of culinary sophistication was my eight quart Calphalon anodized aluminum Dutch oven. I even went so far in thinking that the TV guys were using this pot because it was white on the inside, so it was easy for the camera to see what was going on.

Boy, was I wrong. Ever since I got this pup, I have used it for every soup, every braise, every stew, and every pot roast I have made since. At about the same time I got an oval shaped pot and a similar sized pot shaped primarily for making soups. All three are about the same size and weight. I never use the other two except when I have something which is a lot longer than it is wide.

The heat management is flawless, it is easy to clean, and it is tolerant of too much heat.

As other reviewers have noted, it is a bit heavy, so if you commonly have problems with heavy cookware, consider a smaller one or my retired aluminum pot.

Very highly recommended for both gas and electricity.
