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

My wife and I have been more than pleased with this product. It cooks beautifully. It washes up wonderfully. Although it is a little expensive I would buy it again in a second.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Absolutely Fabulous
I have wanted a French oven for a long time and finally got a great deal on one.I just love cooking in it.It is great for throwing a meal together in minutes, stuffing it in the oven and forgetting it for a few hours, then presto, great food!It cooks evenly, cleans up fast and easy, and is so pretty I leave it out on top of the stove.This stuff is pricey, but worth every penny.I know it will last me a lifetime and I will pass it down in my family!!!

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Center of my kitchen
My mother has had a le creuset dutch oven for about 25 years and I always envied the tight-fitting lid that keeps braised dishes from cooking dry over hours when my dutch oven (stainless Revere Pro) constantly ran dry. The price was an impediment to picking up this fantastic oven but I finally invested.

Wow. So far I have only used it to make roasts (pot roast and pork loin) but each time the results are extremely tender and flavorful meat, with great drippings for sauce. Cleanup is ... Read More

The first one I purchased was on my daughter-in law's wish list for her birthday.She is a beautiful, young and phenomenal cook. Always believing that the cooking process is an ongoing learning and exploring procedure, I put a pot on my birthday list the following year. There are some things that just must be made in it...for instance...chili, meat or marinara sauce, pulled pork, soups.While the first purchase was the color Dune, mine was a beautiful red.I don't even have any red in my kitchen ...
