Amazon.com Review:
The mouth of this gently rounded pot measures 9 inches across, while its flat bottom is only 4 inches, allowing you to use the small burner on your stove for a relatively big pot: the wide surface area will speed any soup or stock reduction you have in mind. Cast iron, of course, has marvelous heating qualities, so heat spreads evenly from this pot's base up its sides. You can also use this soup pot in the oven; loop handles help you carry and lift even the heaviest casserole. The baked-on interior and exterior enamel coating means this pot will not react with any acidic foods and is easy to clean. The glorious enameled colors of Le Creuset's cookware makes it suitable for the table, as well. --Schuyler Ingle

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Great multipurpose pot!
Although this pot was designed as a soup pot, I use it for lots of things--soups, stews, chili, curries, noodle dishes, etc., because it is so easy to serve from--lots of room to get a ladle or large serving spoon in and out of.It is a great addition to my Le Creuset collection.This was the usual outstanding purchase transaction I have experienced with Amazon--they kept me informed every step of the way, shipped the item immediately, and the item was received in perfect condition.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Good things in small packages
I own this in Flame, and use it all the time - in fact, there's a chicken pot pie in the oven as I type. It's lightweight compared to the 5 - 9 Quart French ovens, so it's more maneuverable on the stove top and in the oven, which I appreciate. Its smaller capacity and tapered shape is perfect for 3-person curries, large side dishes, soups and sauces. I also really like it as a vessel for chilling and serving pasta salad and cole slaw.

Though it's an authentic piece of Le Creuset, this ... Read More

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars -wonderful and versatile!
I got this soup pot a week ago and since then I have been using it all the time---for soup, porridge, risotto, moderate portion of stewing and much more. It's large enough for 2-3 persons, while its medium size won't occupy too much space in the kitchen. It also serves perfectly as a presentable dish itself and the classic flame colour always lightens up the whole table. Absolutely love it!
