Beautiful Dutch oven
5 out of 5 stars
Beautiful Dutch oven
I was able to pick up my pot today from Whole Foods. Out of the box, it’s gorgeous. It’s also really big, and I’m feeling a little intimidated about using it. Nonetheless, I have been obsessing about Dutch oven cooking ever since, wanting to put it to good use. The 7.5 quart pot seems a bit large for my family, but I don’t want to exchange it for something smaller. I have an induction stove now, so I’m embracing cast iron and stainless steel pans. I’m sure I’ll get my money’s worth out of it. Also, I paid $300 for this thing- I found it elsewhere for much more- $460 on the Le Creuset website, so it makes sense to shop around and get it on sale.

    I am absolutely in love with my Le Creuset Enameled Cast Iron Signature Round Dutch Oven in Flame! This piece of cookware is not just functional but also a beautiful addition to my kitchen. The 7.25 qt. size is perfect for preparing meals for family gatherings or batch cooking. The vibrant Flame color is iconic and looks stunning on my stovetop or when serving directly at the table. What impresses me most is the exceptional heat distribution and retention of the cast iron; it cooks food evenly and keeps dishes warm for a long time. I use it for everything from braising and stewing to baking bread and roasting meats. The tight-fitting lid seals in moisture and flavors, ensuring delicious and tender results every time. The enamel coating makes cleanup a breeze; food slides right off, and it's dishwasher safe for added convenience. The craftsmanship is evident in every detail, from the ergonomic handles that provide a secure grip to the durable build that promises years of use. While Le Creuset is an investment, it's one that's worth every penny for its quality, versatility, and timeless design. Whether you're a novice cook or a seasoned chef, I highly recommend the Le Creuset Dutch Oven—it's a kitchen essential that will elevate your cooking experience."

    OH, I WANTED SO BAD TO LOVE THIS THING VERY, VERY MUCH. It is absolutely perfect, except it's too heavy for me. I am a petite old lady, so it's too much for me to handle, weightwise. I wanted to cry, having to turn around and send it right back, but meanwhile, I'm waiting for a smaller version of this, it is arriving today, yay!!!

    I have always believed in the adage, you get what you pay for, most of the time. With Le Creuset this is absolutely true. They've been in business a hundred years, and multi-generational families have continued to work there since 1925, because it's a good, solid company to work for.

    You can't go wrong with Le Creuset, especially if you take really good care of it. Read the instruction manual that comes with it.  It is in many different languages. Never heat it above medium, to avoid staining the sand colored enamel inside. If you do stain it, soak it in hot sudsy water during dinner, then later, pour out the soaking water, make a baking soda paste with baking soda and water and it'll come right off. And if it STILL sticks or stains, make a new paste of baking soda and hydrogen peroxide, and slather it all over the stain. Leave it to sit and go watch a movie or something. It should come off with a soft sponge at that point. Never use anything that'll scrape this cookware, and it'll last for generations. No steel wool, and no metal utensils; wood or silicone.

    The things you learn from the instruction manual, holy smokes!! According to the manual, it can be put in the freezer!! 😲 it can also be put in the fridge because there are no raw iron parts. A lot of people think that the rim and lid have raw cast iron and they season it. You don't ever want to season Le Creuset. That's not raw cast iron exposed. It's a matte grey coat that they spray on the raw cast iron to prime it before they apply the enamel coatings and melt it in an extremely hot crucible. Le Creuset means The Crucible in French. If you go to the factory, you'll see that the crucible is actually shaped like a big sideways C! Which is in their logo!

    IT HOLDS COLD TEMPERATURE AS EASILY AS IT HOLDS HOT TEMPERATURE!

    You can fill it up with potato salad or any other cold dish, and put it in the fridge overnight, and then you can take it to a barbecue the next day. Keep it well lidded, perhaps even sitting in a larger container of ice if you're going to be there awhile.

    Speaking of ice, it can actually be used as an ice bucket, believe it or not! When you look at all the things Le Creuset can do, you realise what a bargain you get when you actually buy it. I don't think the knockoffs can do the same thing, I could be wrong, because I don't know very much about them. I only know what people say about them, and from what I understand they don't really last.

    But you certainly can't do any cold treatment with raw cast iron, and you definitely can't sit it in the fridge or the freezer for hours and hours on end.

    It is the ABSOLUTE VERY BEST cookware to use for no oil cooking. My head was turned for about five minutes to the latest trend, beginning with a C and ending with a y... 🤔, because of the high reviews. But then I saw the horror stories on the other side of that. They were REALLY bad, considering that people paid Le Creuset prices for a cheap, thin product that looked beautiful as long as you didn't use it. I had purchased a brand new set of every piece they had, and then paid dearly to send it all right back. Somewhat expensive lesson to pay but whatever.

    This is the first time in my life I've ever sent any Le Creuset back. And it's only because of the weight. It's just not a realistic choice for me. I told my husband I don't know how anybody can cook with  the15.5 qt quart size!! 😲 If you are strong enough to wield a full pot of food in the 7.5 quart, and love plenty of room for mixing and stirring, then this is the pot for you. I couldn't even handle it empty! My hubs is taking it back for me. Hopefully, my next Le Creuset pot will be much easier to handle.

    Originally, our thinking about a "dutch oven" was limited by our previous experience with traditional cast iron pots. This dutch oven has changed that.
    In a very short time, it has become a favorite for preparing dishes that we used to make in a large frying pan, for example. We find it is an excellent companion to our induction cooktop. As a bonus, it is easier to maintain than our old cast iron dutch oven, as long as you pay attention to the guidelines Le Creuset provides, such as avoiding high heat for anything outside of boiling water and not cleaning with harsh abrasives.
    While expensive, with care it should last a lifetime. Do take the time to read—and follow—the simple "use and care" instructions. Even a well-built enameled cast iron implement can be damaged if you abuse it.
    Well worth the investment.

    I'm reviewing the 4.5 quart Le Creuset round dutch oven. I have a bunch of Staubs and love them. Also great cast iron, De Buyer carbon steel, stainless steel, and unglazed clay pots. They all work well but for different things. What I'm struck by with this Le Creuset (which means the crucible) is how the enamel works. It's quite different than the Staub enamel. Both are glass on iron and both leave a very clean and direct taste. But the Le Creuset browns quite strongly. It's stickier. And maybe because the casting is so thin, the cooking goes quickly. I have another Le Creuset that's 20 years older, and I can see that they've advanced both their enamel and their casting. These things are hugely expensive, but I really like how this one works, especially with acidic foods (e.g., tomatoes, vinegar). It imparts a lovely taste signature that stainless steel can't, and has great--perhaps perfect--proportions for a dutch oven. Plus, for enamel, Le Creuset (and Staub) are the most chip resistant ones available. I've put my old one through so many torture scenarios and it's still like new.

    I recently purchased the Le Creuset 28cm Dutch Oven, and I couldn’t be more impressed. The delivery was excellent, fast, secure, and the item was incredibly well-packaged, arriving in perfect condition.

    This Dutch oven is truly a universal piece of cookware. It’s perfect for everything from slow-cooked stews, curries, and soups to baking crusty bread or roasting a chicken. I’ve already used it to braise beef short ribs, make a rich tomato-based sauce, and even tried no-knead bread, each time, the results were fantastic. The even heat distribution and heat retention are unmatched.

    It works flawlessly on both the stovetop and in the oven, and the enamel interior means food doesn’t stick easily, making it ideal for browning meats before simmering. The 28cm size is generous enough to feed a family or meal prep in batches, without being unwieldy or difficult to handle.

     Care Tips:

    This pot does require a bit of mindful care to keep it in top condition. I always use wooden or silicone utensils to avoid damaging the enamel. It’s best to avoid sudden temperature changes (e.g., cold water on a hot pot), and while it’s dishwasher safe, I find that hand washing preserves the finish much better in the long run. Avoid using harsh scourers or abrasive cleaners, warm soapy water and a soft sponge do the trick.

    If you’re serious about cooking or just want to invest in one pot that can do it all and last for years (even decades), I can’t recommend this enough. It’s not just functional, it’s beautiful, too. An absolute staple in my kitchen.

    Why did you choose this product over others?:

    I thought that someone had to be out of their minds to buy something like this, considering that there are a lot of cheaper options out there. But seeing how durable it is, and how beautiful it looks, it honestly saved me the hassle of transferring the food from a cooking pot to a better looking serving pot. I don’t recommend anyone who’s just starting to cook to buy this, but it’s definitely something anyone who cooks regularly should have.
