Soup’s on,
I cook mainly soups and stews (they can be reheated over a few days so I don’t have to cook every night.) But my stainless pots tend to burn if I leave them to simmer. I love this pot because it heats evenly and slowly, and the enamel is non-stick or nearly so. I keep mine out on the stove all the time because I like the way it looks–the red is very cheerful in our white kitchen.
My first test run was a batch of minestrone. My recipe takes three days as I make a double beef boullion to start, then finish off with the strained stock and added vegetables. The results were great.
This is a heavy pot and the enamel can chip if you drop the top (not to mention ding your floor.) So be careful.

|Great Customer Service from Le Creuset,
My mom still uses a Le Creuset dutch oven from the 1970s. Other than the enamel looking a little worn (scratched up), it works as good as new.
My husband and I received this pot as a gift (from out Amazon wish list, as a matter of fact) about 1 year ago. It’s been great for cooking pot roasts, stews, and soups. I don’t know what Le Creuset has done in terms of the enamel coating, but nothing seems to stick to it. It’s very easy to clean.
The one bad thing that happened was that the handle broke off. But here’s the amazing thing – I contacted Le Creuset’s customer service and received a new handle within days!! I’ve never experienced such prompt and helpful customer service before.
I highly recommend this product as well as any of the other dutch ovens by Le Creuset.

|This is my favorite pot!,
I love to cook. I’ve had my big brown Le Creuset pot for about 3 years now, which I got at their outlet, and it’s my all-time favorite pot for cooking. It makes pot roasts, soups, stews, chili, tomato sauce–you name it. They have all been delicious. Slow cooking is ideal in this pot, and I find myself looking for recipes just so that I can make them in it! I loved this pot so much that I bought other pieces in red. I must say, you have to have strong muscles to lift these monsters, but it is so worth it. I also love this pot just to boil spaghetti in. I haven’t tried the non-stick frying pans, since I have All-Clad for those, which are great too. I rearranged my whole kitchen to accomodate my Le Creuset pots so that they would be easily accessible for lifting. They are the crown jewels of my kitchen!
