Le CreusetEnameled Cast Iron Signature Oval Dutch Oven, 6.75 qt., Meringue

HEAVY but cooks like a dream and cleans up beautifully

This thing is amazing! I bought this so that I could cook larger cuts of meat and stews since my smaller Dutch oven can only handle smaller meals. The ability to sear then slow cook is amazing. Le Creuset is a expensive brand but you get what you pay for. The quality of their products are amazing it’s able to keep even heat retention with ease. If you want to cook a stew or roast for a large crowd or to meal prep this is the one for you. You can easily brown your meat then pop it in the oven or turn the stove down low and cook your stew or roast and get fork tender results with ease. This thing will last you a lifetime and help up your cooking game. Well worth the price.

Great sturdy cookware. The color is really nice and mellow. The oval shape accommodates large irregular shaped cuts of meat. Food tastes so much better cooked in a slow oven. Pricey but shop for items when they discontinue certain colors.

Being from south Louisiana (Cajun country) we love to cook for family and friends. I wanted a large pot to replace my magnalite pot. I couldn’t be more pleased. I use this to make rice dressing at Christmas and Thanksgiving. It’s also perfect for our famous gumbo!! I made a huge amount of chicken stock a few weeks ago. This pot is big!! I put two chickens in it for my stock. The heat distribution is absolutely the best. One does not need to cook at high temperature. I’ve adjusted the temperature to a lower setting especially when making a rioux. Since there have been articles about magnalite cookware giving off trace amounts of metals possibly causing Alzheimer’s, I decided to replace mine. Anyone from south Louisiana is familiar with magnalite. It’s what everyone here uses. I also just ordered a Le Creuset skillet to replace my Teflon skillet because of health issues with Teflon. I’ve purchased a smaller enameled cast iron Dutch oven a couple of years ago. There is no comparison to the quality of that pot to the Le Crouset brand. Yes, Le Crouset is more expensive; however, with proper care your pots will end up in hands of your grandchildren. I know some people place them in the dishwasher. I just can’t bring myself to do this. Besides, these pots are so so easy to clean. For tough scorched on food, just a soak in warm soapy water and it cleans up with no effort whatsoever. If you enjoy cooking, treat yourself. You’ll end up replacing your pots one at a time with Le Crueset.

So far so good :) I replaced the original silver knob with a large copper one. Love it already. The booklet it came with contains important information on maintenance and usage, I wouldn’t throw this away. I know this will stay in the kitchen for years, will try to make sure not to stain it!

Looks like a genuine Le Crueset. It seems to burn things easily. Maybe because the inside is white/beige it just shows more (?). Doesn’t sear meat all too well. My next purchase will be Staub. Why? because the black coating can withstand and is meant to be used with higher heat and supposedly sears better. This one can get damaged with high heat and instructions say specifically not to use with high heat or else you can damage it. It’s a little unnerving when you want to deglaze a pan with room temperature to cool liquid, but I guess with any ceramic glazed pot you don’t want to put cold liquid into a hot pot. Whatever the case this coating is supposedly more prone to damage than the black Staub coating.

Looks great and cooks great too! The standard everyone else tries to copy. It is our go to pot for soups stews and breads. Pricey but worth it.

I have been looking for this large LeCreuset pot for some time. When the price was too good to turn down, I ordered it as a gift for my wife. It arrived damaged. The outer box was ripped and dented. The inner box had a hole. The pot itself had a broken cracked handle and 3 inch scratchon the outside of the pot. This damage to a cast iron pot is hard to believe had I not witnessed it myself. I wanted a replacement but the price was back into the unaffordable range. Very disappointing not just in Amazon but LeCreuset also!

Purchased the Oval Dutch Oven as a gift. Arrived in good time as ordered and well packaged with no chips or flows. The color two tone red looks stunning. The 5 qt. oval is a good size for our needs. We are a family of three.

Comme toujours la marque creuset est a sa juste valeur.

Comprobado, es un perfecto utensilio para cocinar

Arrivé plus tôt que prévu, en excellent état. Très satisfait.
