Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Le Creuset Enameled Cast-Iron 7-1/4-Quart Round French Oven, Cherry Red
Customer Review: My favorite pot
Summary: 5 Stars
Even though this blue beauty clashes somewhat with all my black appliances, it's usually sitting on top of the range, even when it's not in use. I use it for almost everything. The great thing about an enameled oven like this is that you can prepare just about everything for a dish in it, from browning the meat to slow simmer or baking in the oven.
It's weight may be intimidating to some (as well as the cost), but that's what cast iron is all about, after all.
Besides being easy to use on the stove and in the oven, cleaning it is an absolute dream. That's probably the biggest difference between these and my beloved Lodge cast iron cookware. These require zero maintenance. As with any cast iron cookware, they are NOT indestructible. The enamel will chip if you abuse it. Even Lodge recommends not dropping their stuff.
Bottom line, if you can afford it, you should get at least one of these. I own three different sizes (3 1/2 qt, 5 1/2 qt, and this 7 1/4 qt) but I usually find myself reaching for this big one.

Description of Le Creuset Enameled Cast-Iron 7-1/4-Quart Round French Oven, Cherry Red
Le Creuset Round French Oven - This everyday Round French Oven (or Dutch oven, referred by most people) never makes it to the cupboard: it goes from the stove or oven to the table to the dishwasher then back to the stove for tomorrow's dinner. If there are leftovers in the pot, save them for tomorrow. You can store it in the refrigerator or in the freezer and not worry about food reacting to the porcelain enamel surface. For generations, families have come to cherish the classic cocotte - the Round French Oven. This everyday pot never makes it to the cupboard: it goes from the stove or oven to the table to the dishwasher then back to the stove for tomorrow's dinner. If you want to keep leftovers in the refrigerator or freezer, you can store in our Le Creuset pot and not worry about food reacting to the porcelain enamel surface.Beautiful enough to bring to the table, yet durable enough to outlive its 101-year warranty against defects, this heavy French oven is perfect for preparing and serving ceremonious dishes such as braised short ribs with sauerkraut, cassoulet, and vegetable soup. Use it in the oven or on the stovetop. 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 7-1/4 quarts, measures 11 inches in diameter, and its exterior and interior are clad in two coats of Le Creuset's famous bright enamel. The plastic knob on its heavy, tight-fitting lid is ovenproof to 450 degrees F. Loop handles facilitate carrying, and the oven 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. --Fred Brack
