This oven is the perfect size for most people. I cook a great deal from the Cook's Illustrated Soups and Stews book and have found nothing except stock that I cannot make in this oven. Everything just fits in for an even, controlled cooking process.

This pot also fits nicely on one burner. This means after you get your food going you can slide it to the back burner to simmer leaving all your other burners open for other work. This is a great contrast to Le Creuset's larger pans, especially the 7-1/2 quart soup pot that winds up taking three of your four burners out of action. The pan also fits nicely on a refrigerator shelf, letting you cook a day in advance and then easily reheat when you are ready.

You already know from the other reviews how well this pot does pot roast, chicken, etc; as well as how easily it cleans up. Le Creuset is expensive but this pot is well worth the price. It is the Dutch Oven you will use for a lifetime.

I had been wanting this for a while now but didn't want to pay the large cost for it. Well, after findng it here at Amazon.com for the best price, I bought it and I LOVE IT!! I have used several brands and types of cookware before but this product is by far the most superior and now most used in our home. After owning and using the product, I don't what I would do without it.

This was my first piece of Le Cruset and I love it. It makes great Cassoulet and other casseroles. I also made some fantastic Coq a Vin in it. It's heavy and holds even heat extremely well. The lid is perfect for keeping braising juices basting whatever you're cooking. I love it.
