Enameled Cast Iron Signature Oval Dutch Oven, 5 qt, Marseille

The Flame (ombré red to orange) finish is absolutely stunning and looks professional on any stovetop. But beyond the aesthetics, the Signature line features several functional upgrades that make a difference in a busy kitchen. • Ergonomic Handles: The oversized loop handles are a lifesaver when I'm moving the heavy pot from the oven to the counter while wearing bulky mitts. • Durable Enamel: The exterior finish is chip-resistant, and I haven't noticed any staining or dulling after multiple uses. • Versatile Lid: The lid fits perfectly, trapping moisture and heat for "painless" slow cooking. There are no noticeable quality issues here—just pure, high-end craftsmanship. This is a piece of equipment that will clearly last for decades.

My wife has wanted a Dutch oven for quite some time. She has used it 3 times already since Christmas and loves the color. Went with the larger 9 qt which seems to be the best size for us. It’s a little heavy, but seems well made, and cleans up pretty easily.

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

Le Creuset was my first ceramic/cast iron pot. I treasured it. I cooked everything from Coq au Vin, to artisan bread, to Spanish style rice in it. Somehow in a move it got lost or stolen. Well, these are super expensive. Years later, I asked my mom and husband if they’d be willing to chip in to buy this oval pot so I could make a Thanksgiving turkey in it. This is much larger than my original pot, and all Le Creuset (like similar cast iron/ceramic pots) is HEAVY. With a 12 lb turkey, it was all I could do to get it into the oven, but wow, what a turkey; best one I ever made (using Gordon Ramsey’s recipe of course ;). The round small one I have is the best for bread, rice, stews for four people. This one is for a crowd, no matter what you’re making in it. I’ve used the cheaper versions - they just don’t hold up as well; they’ve chipped easily or the lids don’t fit correctly for a nice tight close. So this is an investment, but a good one.

Nice small pot, ideal for small families or a couple. Good quality as usual for Le Creuset products. If well used, perhaps a pot that will last for a lifetime

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.

This is a great addition to my kitchen. It is a quality piece of cook ware that I expect will last a very long time. Bonus - it adds a pop of fun color to meal preparation and clean up!

I have has La Creuset cookware in the past, & they are virtually indestructible. So when the large 8qt stew pot I've been wanting came up on sale, I leapt at the chance. However, due to UPS' negligence &/or ineptitude with delivery, they have managed what I thought was impossible: they broke my new cook pot. I have no idea how, and am on the phone with UPS customer support as I type this, to find out who dropkicked my birthday present to myself off the nearby cliffs prior to delivering it to me. Amazon got me set up with a replacement so Kudos to their customer support for that. But a 20lb cookpot having a crack that goes almost the entire height of the side of the pot renders it a rather oversized (albeit expensive) paperweight. Still, I know the brand, so I'm confident this is going to behave just as all of my others have.

Good price and great dish Le Creuset, delivery as agreed, nothing bad to comment!

Produto maravilhoso.

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

These pans are very expensive. There are cheaper alternatives. There’s a reason for that.

Fantastic heat distribution and retention. Tenderizer meats very quickly. Good size for ribs and whole chicken.
