Le Creuset Enameled Cast Iron Signature Round Dutch Oven with Lid, 5.5 Quart, Shallot

In my opinion, this might just be the ultimate cooking vessel! It truly is a “jack of all trades”, yet it excels in so many!What isn’t this great for? It can handle searing heat, or low and slow, it can easily be transferred from the stove to the oven, and back again. It’s a great heat conductor with fantastic heat distribution so it can bake breads, deep fry, or keep a dish warm for serving. With a little aluminum foil and a small wire rack, you can even turn turn it into quite an effective makeshift mini-smoker!I use the 5.5QT version, which is a nice medium-to-large “all around” size that can comfortably serve 6 people. It’s wide enough to easily use a spatula for flipping (it even sears a nice burger!), yet it’s also tall enough to go all out on nice chunky stew or bake an artisanal loaf of bread.The enamel coating is also an overall upgrade over traditional cast iron. It cleans up reasonably easily, and it won’t react to highly acidic foods such as tomato sauces. While it’s not exactly a non-stick surface, this is actually an advantage because it’s great for creating that perfect fond.On top of it all, it’s beautiful to look at. My Le Creuset Dutch oven sits on my stove as a permanent fixture because I use it for just about everything - from searing steaks to you-name-it!

Arrived when stated. The item was brand new in the box and packed very well with no damage. Already used it and the dutch oven worked great and clean up was easy. Great addition to my kitchen.

What a nice product (great for decenies).My third one (different sizes), and the most beautiful (because of the color ;-).I've been using the two first twice a week for more than 30 years.

I was worried of ordering online cause I read that some reviewers had received damaged pots. Once I received it that wasn’t the case. The pot is exactly like pictured and very well made. No flaws. I bought the red color one.

I have always wanted a Le Creuset Dutch oven and I’m so pleased with it! I’ve already made a delicious pot of soup. It cooks evenly, cleans easily and looks beautiful on my stove. I actually ordered this originally on the Le Creuset website but unfortunately, that piece came delivered with a cracked handle. I decided to order from Amazon. It was less expensive, and it came in perfectly! I am so pleased with my purchase. Expensive, but very well worth the price.

So far its exceeded my expectations, cooks items well and cleaning is easy. Would recommend this to everyone who loves to cook.

I have had a le creuset 7.5 quart dutch oven for 10+ years and have been wanting to add a larger pot to my collection for some time now. This is a much bigger pot and naturally a little heavier but it's just what I want.I also have a le creuset skillet and a braiser and they're true workhorses. They're made to last and they look beautiful in my kitchen. I don't even bother storing them away, they're on display on open shelving in my cookong space.On this latest purchase, I tried my luck and took my chances with this 13.5 qt when I saw this Le Creuset dutch oven in Oyster, as a "used in good condition" at a tempting price. I'm so glad that I did! Except for a tiny scuff on the lid, this pot is solid and in perfect condition.

I bought it for waterless cooking. I tried it twice.perfect！I love it.
