Amazon.com Review:
The beautiful, round French oven is perhaps the most well-known of all Le Creuset cookware. Each is individually sand-cast of rugged cast iron, then clad in two coats of hard, colorful enamel. The result? Cookware so durable it's covered by a lifetime warrantee, and so attractive you'll proudly bring it to the table. Cast iron retains and distributes heat evenly, making the pot with its tight-fitting lid especially good for the slow, stovetop simmering of soups and stews. Because the black phenolic lid knob is oven-safe to 400 degrees, the pot and lid can be used to roast meat and potatoes or bake a casserole whose cheesy crust can be browned under the broiler with the lid removed. And, the nonporous enameled pot is handy for marinating meats and storing leftovers in the refrigerator.
This particular French oven (some might call it a Dutch oven) with its capacity of 6-3/4 quarts is wider and shallower than the classic Le Creuset model. This enables liquid to evaporate more efficiently and results in a more even baking of rice pilaf, risotto, and pasta dishes. Le Creuset suffuses the exterior in the bright, modern color of your choice, while keeping a more neutral tone on the interior to showcase the cuisine. The enamel resists cracking and staining and is best cared for when the contents are stirred with non-metal utensils. It's also so smooth that food particles tend not to stick, making cleaning by hand or in the dishwasher a snap. Made in France, Le Creuset premium cookware brings joie de vivre to any kitchen it graces. --Ann Bieri
Product Description:
Beautiful enough to bring to the table, yet durable enough to outlive its 101-year warranty against defects, this heavy casserole is perfect for preparing and ceremoniously serving dishes such as choucroute garni and braised lamb shanks. The oval shape handles big cuts of meat and big birds. Use it in the oven or on the stovetop for soups and chili. 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 6 3/4 quarts and its exterior and interior are clad in two coats of Le Creuset's famous enamel. The plastic knob on its heavy, tight-fitting lid is ovenproof to 450 degrees F. Loop handles facilitate carrying, and the casserole 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.

- Great CreusetPot
I wanted a heavy pot to slow cook chicken and other meats. This fits the bill! The top is heavy and keeps in the moisture.......everything turns out perfectly. The pot arrived perfectly packed, quick delivery......I couldn't be happier with this cheerful yellow French Oven!

- Not packaged very well, but a great pot!
Got this as a present for my wife, who's been wanting this for a while.
It arrived not packed very well.The product box was inside a VERY large shipping box, with very little padding.So, it was free to bounce around quite a bit.As a result, one handle was broken (I didn't know you COULD break these things!).Amazon took it back with no hassle whatsoever, even sending the new one immediately even before I sent back the broken one.
The second (replacement) one arrived ... Read More
