Le Creuset Enameled Cast Iron Signature Round Wide Dutch Oven, 6.75 qt., Cerise

I've been wanting a really good Dutch oven for years, but the quality ones are way too expensive, so when I saw this was on sale, I finally splurged and bought one. I've cooked in it 3 times this week (since I bought it) and it allows me to do things I couldn't do with my other cookware. The last thing that I made was a pot of beans in the oven yesterday. I was able to caramelize the onions on the stove, add the liquids, spices and pre-soaked beans and then pop it into the oven before going to my doctor's appointment. When I got home, the beans were done perfectly! Way better than the crockpot (because most of the liquid was gone) and they tasted great - and the Dutch oven cleaned up easily afterwards. When making things like Tamale Pie or deep dish pizza, you really need cast iron to get the right texture when you're done. This purchase was worth every penny! (Also, just FYI, the rim of the pot and the rim of the lid are the base cast iron - I gather it's to avoid chipping the lid or the rim when the lid goes on and off. The company says it will not rust as long as you don't leave it sitting in water, but instead dry it off thoroughly before putting it away. So far, so good.)

I have been very impressed with my new Dutch oven! I love the color and the design! It’s got a good weight to it and is easy to clean.

This was my wife's favorite Christmas present, she makes bread in it also. Great product!

Le Crueset is known for making enameled Dutch Ovens since 1925. They have become the gold standard by which other manufacturers have trouble competing with. This Dutch Oven is extra wide so batch cooking is usually not necessary. The fit and finish is outstanding and the color selection is extensive. The only knock on Le Creuset is the high price. This Cocotte is on sale making this a must have if you need a large Dutch Oven that can accommodate just about any cooking situation.

Purchased new in April 2024 for $232 as a Mother’s Day gift. In the end, 14.4lb is a bit too heavy for my Mom to use on a regular basis without injuring herself. That being said, I have only used it for simple dishes like stews, curry, and pasta sauces. I chose it because I wanted to reduce potential forever-chemicals leaching into foods and ultimately into our bodies. I believe the lid handle is oven safe, though I haven’t made anything that requires that yet. Good heat distribution, durable, nice color. I am doing my best to keep it in good condition. Hoping to use it for many years to come.

Love this pan. Great for stews and sauces and just about everything. Heats evenly. Easy to clean. I do not cook on high heat with the light color ceramic inside coating.

I love cooking in this dutch oven. It heats through beautifully, nothing sticks, and it cleans with ease. I cannot say enough good things about this product. I deducted 1 star because it is NOT 6.75 quarts. I can get 6.5 quarts in if I literally fill it to the top edge of the pan lip, which no cook would actually do. You can cook maybe 5.75-6.0 quarts of actual product in here if you don't want it boiling over and making an utter mess. Many people complain about burning. I've had no such issues but then I understand that cooking temps are far below what one would use in a non-cast iron pan. I never have the heat above medium and always use a touch of good quality oil with a high smoke point. Medium IS your high temp setting. Lol! As an aside, buy the Lodge Enamel cleaning kit. It works better than Le Cruesset cleaner IMO and is far cheaper.

I’ve wanted a Le Creuset for years and I finally went for it when I saw this one on sale. Before it arrived I ordered a large gold knob for the top from the LC website because I don’t care for silver. Both items arrived on the same day and paired together they are absolutely gorgeous. I haven’t had the chance to use the oven yet, but everyone knows of their durability and lifetime warranty so I feel that they truly speak for themselves at this point. You can see how beautiful and huge this oven is in my photo. I’m thrilled with it and already have my eye on a few other pieces in the LC collection. Compared to cheaper cast iron ovens I can now see why these cost so much by the look and feel of it alone. It’s heavy and well made. With proper care I can see how these get passed down through generations. Can’t wait to put it to use, especially now that winter is coming.

Sehr gute Topf, sehr schwer

Fa parte della nuova generazione di padelle multiuso

Eu sempre olhei essa panela, é tipo uma panela frigideira com bordas alta ... Maravilhoso para selar peças grandes de carnes e fazer risotos , Strogonoff e macarrão cremoso

Parfaite pour faire des plats mijotés!
