Le Creuset Enameled Cast Iron Signature Sauteuse Oven, 3.5 qt., Caribbean

I cook a lot and this is by far the most versatile and now, the most used pot/pan in my kitchen. It’s a skillet/frying pan that browns food well, a deep skillet, a sauce pot, a soup pot, a casserole dish, and a stove-to-oven pan. So versatile! The size is great for 4-6 servings, depending on what you’re cooking. I bought the licorice colour and it’s a matte black, but with enough sheen not to be boring. Definitely pretty enough to use as a serving dish. I’ve been using it so often, I keep it on the stove since it looks so nice. This is my first Le Creuset and I am very impressed. Heats well, easy to clean, and this size is easy to handle. Even fits in my Breville counter oven. I have a 5 quart inexpensive Chefmate Dutch oven and wanted the 5.5 quart Le Creuset Dutch Oven, but thought it silly since mine cooks fine. But having used this, I see such better quality, that it’s back on my wishlist now. That said, I’d still want this 3.5 quart size for its versatility and easy handling. I can see both getting a lot of use.

what can i say, it's Le Creuset! quality & craftsmanship are superb. thankfully, nabbed this little guy via 'Flash Sale' or i wouldn't have bought it. yes, these are ungodly expensive kitchen utensils but worth every nickel; they're consistently flawless & this is our 3rd piece of Le Creuset. i liked this particular 3.5 qt. model for it's size & utility (our other 2 pieces are significantly larger). our other pieces were gifts so this one was first we'd ever bought ourselves & we're tickled that we did. my only "beef" (pun intended) is that like all enameled cast iron cookware, the inside will (eventually) stain & there's no avoiding this reality. the more you use them, the more 'seasoned' they will become & the interior will, over time/ usage, begin to stain. i've no tips on how best & safely to remedy this natural cause-effect myself but as for cooking applications Le Creuset is practically nonpareil IMHO. i enjoy cooking... A LOT & our stuff gets used. this handy little bugger though fits the bill when a behemoth cast iron piece just isn't necessary. it's versatile, lighter than other pieces due to size, extremely durable/ well made & very likely could wind up one of those 'heirloom' pieces that gets passed down from generation to generation. does this justify the price tag? i don't know, you be the judge. however, if you buy it, just know you're making a legitimate investment that will pay for itself over and over and over again for decades to come. yes, i would recommend this piece - 100%. Happy Cooking!!

Love this thing. I already have a LC 5.5 Qt. Dutch Oven, and wanted something smaller, but not a brasier. This thing is about 3.5 Q and I use it for everything from cooking pasta, making sauce or chili, browning meat, cooking cabbage, or boiling water. The list goes on. I like that it's less weight than my other pot. The lid fits snugly. It's easy to clean. Any tough spots easily come of with Bar Keeper's Friend. It has yet to see the inside of my dishwasher, and probably won't. There are waayyy lower priced versions of enameled cast iron pots & pans, but, Le Creuset is built to last for Decades. Hi quality and top notch. I rarely give anything 5 Stars, but, this stuff is worth it. I didn't rate the "Giftable" category in this review, because it's Mine! LOL. Worth saving up for. Highly recommended.

I was reluctant to buy this on Amazon, but I could not find this sauteuse in Caribbean on any other websites, so I was happy to find it here. This my 3rd Le Creuset in my collection, and I am so satisfied with it. I feel this one is a good in between to have, between my 5.5 quart dutch oven and 2.25 quart braiser.

This strong Sauteuse Oven gets the job done. The color really pops and is so beautiful to look at. Everything cooks well and quick in it as it holds the heat. It is a bit on the heavy size when compared to its size. It is not the biggest pot by any means, but handles all the food I have put in it over the years. It is also very clean, still - no stains, nothing stock on it because it is very easy to clean. This pot will last me a decade or more and I hope to buy more in its line because of how well it has done in my home.

Not cheap, but excellent quality //glad it was purchased for the useful life of this product.

Our daughter-in-law to be loved it! Beautiful, high quality design. While a bit pricey, well worth it. Looking forward to hearing more as she puts it into use.

I had a set of Le Creuset in 1988. Foolishly I let them go many years later. I have one piece left. I loved the size of this Dutch oven. Perfect for a small household. Cooks beautifully. Holds the heat as only cast iron can. I will purchase a multi function pot to complete my new set.

Muito bom! Qualidade superior !

Classique Le Creuset!

il est vraiment beau et très utile.

Beste 🇹🇷

The lid was scratched, the color didn't match with the picture, the size was not correct. Inner surface was uneven. Asked to return the product, but more than a week has passed without collection. A refund was allegedly issued, but Im yet to see the credit on my card invoice.
