Le Creuset Enameled Cast Iron Oval Dutch Oven, 2.75 qt., Marseille

8 qts. is pretty big and takes up a lot of space in your cabinet. It's also heavy and a bit tricky to wash up in the sink because of its size and weight. But, it came well packaged, and in perfect condition. The large size is perfect for making large batches of chili, soups. roasts and veggies. and a whole chicken fits with ease. Stove top or oven compatible. Top level quality. Easy to get clean and looks brand new afterwords. Heirloom cookware.

This is only my second purchase of Le Creuset and I already adore them! The lid fit perfectly which according to my husband who grew up on them can be challenging to score. But they looks so cute, cook well, are durable, easy to clean, and keep heat nicely!

I love it. It is fabulous to cook with, keeps even heat. Fantastic to clean. Only downside is that it is very heavy, but so pretty that it lives on the stove.

Fantastic. Look, Le Creuset is expensive as all get-out. You buy this instead of the knock-off if you want to keep it for 20 years. If you're wondering whether (virtually) non-stick cast iron will make you a better cook: uh huh. Aside from all the hipster hype, cast-iron does one thing vastly better than the other materials you're probably using on your stovetop: heat retention. For example, even high-quality non-cast-iron skillets will cool substantially when you drop a 40-degree, 1.5" thick ribeye onto their surface; this means that you end up boiling the moisture off of your steak before the searing begins. Additionally, heat retention means more -even- heat in most cases. Cast iron gives much more predictable results, and you'll notice it immediately. Being able to use (washable!) cast-iron was a game changer for me. All this being said, I can't say that you need Le Creuset (instead of the knock-off) for these features -- as I said above, you pay for the expected longevity. But I can def say that, despite the substantial cost, I smile every time I grab this thing from the shelf.

Had this for about 5 weeks and used it twice in that time. Second time, was cooking little potatoes on the stovetop on medium heat. A 2" chunk of the enamel popped off the handle. Requested a return, since the 30 days had just passed but seller refused, stating I likely dropped it and needed to contact le crueset for its warranty. Had I had and used the pot for months on end, I'd understand that. But to be used twice, makes me think this was a second being passed off as first quality. I failed to read the reviews before but after the issue with the seller, I see many people have had this same issue with the pot. I think i got a return that was patched up and I missed it, or again seconds are being sold. I have several le cruesets and they've held up beautifully over the years and look brand new and never had enamel Crack off or even scratch. I'd caution anyone buying this. It's too expensive of a pot for this to happen and le crueset is known for its quality. Seller wasn't even willing to accept just a week past the 30 days for a damaged item.

After many years of owning two Staubs (because I got them on sale), I finally broke down and got “the real deal!” First thing I made in it was a whole roast chicken. Man, was that good! Perfection! And the pot cleaned easily, and came out perfect. Was it cheap? No! But totally worth it. Wish I’d bitten the bullet and gotten one years ago!

Tha best of the best Cooks beautiful, will last longer than me. Ovel shaped to allow for larger things like small turkey or large roast. Goes from stove top to oven to table. Absolutely perfect and so lovely to look at

Nothing beats a LeCreuset. We bought one for ourselves and then bought one for each of our children and they were thrilled.

Semplicemente fantastica! Bellissima e meravigliosa alleata in cucina. Dopo lunghe ricerche e riflessioni ho scelto la creuset tra tutte le pentole in ghisa per un motivo: la smaltatura chiara. Le altre marche hanno all'interno la smaltatura scura (nera) e non mi convincono per la possibile presenza di piombo.

Ich habe sehr viel damit gekocht. Es ist ein sehr schönes und wirklich praktisches Teil. Es könnte natürlich etwas günstiger sein.

I bought this to replace its predecessor, which I had for 15 years. During that time I used it many times each week, for casseroles, curries, soups etc. It would still be going strong if I hadn’t forgotten it on the hob for so long that it literally couldn’t be saved. My Le Creuset saucepan set is still going strong. It was a wedding present... and I’ve been married over 36 years. The initial outlay for pans of this quality may seem high, but it would cost a huge amount more to buy multiple cheaper sets through the years, so it’s actually very cost effective.

Ich habe schon länger mit der Anschaffung geliebäugelt und mir das Produkt endlich geleistet. Es ist nicht nur zum Kochen, Braten super, sondern als Zierde auf den Kochfeld auch nicht zu unterschätzen. Klaren Kaufempfehlung!

Pentola fantastica! Facile da pulire e cotture ottime! Ce l'ho da poco quindi non ho ancora avuto modo di provarla in tutta la sua versatilità, ho cotto del pollo ai peperoni e un ottimo ragù, devo dire perfetti! Ovviamente pesa, ma è una delle sue caratteristiche visto il materiale!
