Large Enough
when I purchased this pot I wasn't sure if it would hold enough for four. It does. It cleans up great and cooks slow and evenly. If you have a family of large eaters you may want to go up a size or two. The oval shape allows for longer roasts to fit well. One pound of dry beans will cook just fine even adding ham for seasoning. LC lives up to its reputation for quality.

An essential kitchen pot
Le Creuset makes a high quality enameled cast-iron pot that will last the cook a lifetime. The secret to its long life is to care for it properly. Do not use harsh cleansers on the inner lining and you will have a pot that cooks like a dream for 40 years or more. Use a wooden or teflon coated spoon to stir your ingredients to avoid damage to the lining. The cast-iron core allows for extremely even cooking, no hot spots where your burner is. It is of course oven-proof and looks good enough to put on the table as well. I particularly like the oval shape as it allows the browning of say a roast or other oblong food. The size is also just right for those who cook for 4-6 people. I know these pots are expensive, but quality cookware pays off in the long run. Better to have one great pot than 3 cheapy ones that do not do justice to your cooking efforts. I have had a pot like this for over 35 years and still use it almost daily. I highly recommend this brand.

Love this Dutch Oven
I received this Dutch Oven as a gift. The pot is great looking so I keep it ontop of the stove. It also cooks great and cleans up perfectly. The size is just right for a chicken for two people.

Beautiful enough for the table and durable enough to outlive its lifetime warranty against defects, this heavy pot is perfect for preparing and ceremoniously serving such dishes as choucroute garni and braised lamb shanks. The oval shape suits poultry and thick cuts of meat while providing room for vegetables. Since it's safe on any stovetop, including induction, as well as in the oven, the pot can also be used for soups and chili. Made of cast iron, with both the exterior and interior clad in two coats of Le Creuset's famous enamel, the pot holds 3-1/2 quarts, perfect for one- and two-person households. Cast iron is unexcelled at heat distribution and retention and enamel is impervious to acids and odors, so the pot cooks food evenly and gently without hot spots and can even be used for marinating and baking. It's also dishwasher-safe. The pot's heavy, tight-fitting lid has a synthetic knob that's ovenproof to 450 degrees F. Like all Le Creuset cast-iron cookware, the pot is hand cast in a one-of-a-kind sand mold and is hand finished at the Le Creuset factory in France. --Fred Brack Top to learn more
