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

Rating: - A pot for a lifetime
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 ...

Rating: - My favorite pot
Even though this blue beauty clashes somewhat with all my black appliances, it's usually sitting on top of the range, even when it's not in use. I use it for almost everything. The great thing about an enameled oven like this is that you can prepare just about everything for a dish in it, from browning the meat to slow simmer or baking in the oven.
It's weight may be intimidating to some (as well as the cost), but that's what cast iron is all about, after all.

Rating: - Excellent Product!
I purchased this item on March 1, 2006.Since that time we have used it to make chicken soup, tomato sauce, and chili.We have also braised chicken and boiled corned beef and cabbage.It heats VERY evenly -- unlike cheaper alternatives.The pot itself is pretty heavy -- something to consider if you have carpal tunnel or arthritis in your hands/wrists.The lid is also pretty heavy -- but I like that because it forms a tighter seal.After 2+ years it still looks like new.

- Too much money to be disappointed
I am disappointed in the Le Creuset round 7 1/4 qt french oven. It spewed water from under the lid the entire time while cooking a chicken stew and the pot was only little over half full. I certainly expected more from such an expensive item." I should not have to constantly wipe water from a dripping lid on a pot that cost this much. I had to stay close by the entire time because of this. The pot is sturdy, easy to clean and looks good but this problem took all the fun out of using it. This is my first ... Read More
Rating: - Pricey, but worth it
The 7 1/4 Quart Round French Oven is my first foray into the world of Le Creuset and I've been nothing but pleased with this item. It appears to be of exceptional quality- a recent trip to a popular "home & kitchen" type store provided plenty of opportunity for comparison, and the quality of the Le Creuset piece was obviously superior to anything the store had for sale.
I intend to replace my current cookware piece by piece with Le Creuset items.Which, while seemingly expensive, might actually ... Read More
