I recently purchased a brand new Le Creuset pot to go on our new induction stove. Despite the fact that the Le Creuset website clearly states that their enameled pots can be used on induction, the pot has scratched the glass top of our brand new stove HORRIBLY. Beware when using these products on a glass cook surface.We have owned many Le Creuset products over the years including cast iron enamel and stoneware and have never had these issues in the past. I don't know what has changed with the make of the product, or if this was a one time defect, but we are very upset.

I had the same pot instead an older model for over 8 years. I only use that to make soup or stew. Never over boiled or burn without liquid in the pot. I made the first “life time warranty” claim because the vegetables and meat were staring to burn and stick under the pot . They said it was cause by overheating! How?! So I spent thousand dollar to buy a whole set and none of them will cover by the warranty?! Lesson learned.

After purchasing one for my daughter for Christmas I fell in love with this piece! After reading reviews, I upped it to the oval as many commented it was easier to fit larger pieces of meat, chickens, etc. The clean up of this is incredible and things get so tender. (Barkeeper?s Friend is a perfect way to eliminate any remaining browned areas). The only downside is the weight - if you?re gonna use coated case iron, it?s gonna be heavy. The bigger the pot, the heavier it will be. Colors for everyone. Wish I had bought mine years ago!

There are tons of different sizes of Dutch ovens out there, especially with Le Creuset. I settled on getting the 8 qt. Dutch oven because of the versatility. My plan was to make fancy bread in it. I've now done that in this one and I love it. You don't have to buy a round dutch oven to make bread. The size and even the weight work for me. I think the 6.75 quart version would have worked, too, but I just love this thing. Also, I was so happy to find it on sale with Crate & Barrel. It wasn't available in my area and so it was shipped to me. I had to contact customer service about a small delay, but it was rectified quickly by a very nice person. An actual human being! Who would have guessed? Very good experience indeed. I will doubtlessly get other sizes in this color ... MoreThere are tons of different sizes of Dutch ovens out there, especially with Le Creuset.

I have waited a long time to start my own Le Creuset collection. I love to cook, and I've always heard such great things about the Le Creuset brand. However, they are quite pricey! I finally decided to splurge on the 5.5 Round Dutch Oven - and I am so glad I did! I've made stuffed peppers, marinara sauce and a pot of soup so far. It warms up quickly and cooks so evenly - its amazing. On top of everything, clean-up is a joy. It just wipes clean. I purchased the Meringue color and it is gorgeous! My biggest decision now is whether to collect all the same color - or mix them up! Either way, my collection will definitely be growing.
The pot is wonderful. Very big. Nice weight, beautiful finish. The yellow is much nicer in person. Full cooking surface for a wide range of foods. Will be a nice addition to our collection.The reason for losing a star was due to the shipping. Both pots ordered were put in a larger outer box with no padding. The result was both of our Le Creuset boxes (the orange ones that we use to store when not in use) were badly crushed. This is very unlike WS in regards to shipping. They usually wrap each box in bubble wrap, and then put in a large outer box with no damage. The outer box was way too large, and the top of it was completely crushed in, causing damage to both Le Creuset boxes. When I called WS, they said i could return (one of the pots was no longer available) or ... MoreThe pot is wonderful. Very big. Nice weight, beautiful finish. The yellow is much nicer in person.

I took the credit and called Le Creuset, and they said there was nothing they could do.Very disappointing experience. Not used to this from WS.
Don't be like me and wait five years to spend the money on this amazing piece - just do it. I've gotten so much joy out of making my own bread, experimenting with new recipes, making soups and stews where the individual ingredients actually stand out because the pot cooked them so well. Also, don't be like me and burn your pot.....yeah.... I burnt the pot. If you do, just fill the pot with water and add baking soda. Let simmer for 8 to 10 minutes - she'll be brand new again. I bought the 7 1\4 quart size oven in Nectar from my local Williams Sonoma store. The yellow is gorgeous and was a big factor in my decision to buy. I don't recall seeing it before now? Wish they had the 9 1\2 quart size in that color. Totally worth the money and a lovely experience in using it.
I've used my 5.5 qt Crueset dutch oven for years and still love it--however, as my kids have grown, it became clear that our family appetite had outgrown my favorite pot. I wanted something that could cook either two 4 lb chickens or a 10 lb bird. After reading a lot of reviews and the Cruset advice re: size, I initially ordered the 8 qt oval from Sur La Table--but it was TOO SMALL. Yes, you could fit a 10 lb chicken as Crueset says, but you would have zero room for vegetables or anything else. Sur La Table was great and exchanged it and the 9.5 qt is perfect! You can do a pork shoulder or rack of lamb or a large chicken with all the fixings, and it still fits easily in my oven. The Merigue color is beautiful too.
I wish I had bought this Dutch oven first. Cleans like a dream, stove to oven with no issue at all. The weight was a big factor in my decision to purchase. I had a staub Dutch oven that was just too heavy to lift. This is heavy, but about 6 pounds lighter than my old staub Dutch oven and far easier to clean. From this Dutch oven’s performance, I am looking at smaller Dutch ovens to handle daily cooking (only my husband and I). Love this and wish I had purchased years ago. You cannot go wrong with this Le Crueset Dutch oven.
I own quite a number of Staub and Le Creuset because I love the different sizes that are good for different uses. I have been taking care of these pots for a decade and do not usually have problems with them. However, I had a problem with a Le Creuset enameled cast iron round oven as the lid keeps rusting in 3 spots, the spots where there is some welding indentations or divots. I feel like this is a defect and not a cleaning/care issue as my other pots do not have this problem. After reaching out to Le Creuset they told me that it is my problem, to clean it with barkeepers friend and season it. I have never had this issue with my other enameled cast iron pots, even with other Le Creuset lids. The warranty does not cover this issue so I will be purchasing Staub only ... MoreI own quite a number of Staub and Le Creuset because I love the different sizes that are good for different uses.
