I have been building my collecton of Le Crueset cookware for 5 years; with the addition of each piece I appreciate the quality and durability more. You will only purchase these products once. The products ability to retain heat and simmer stocks, soups and sauces are unparalleled. From the first time I cooked a roast in a 2 quart dutch oven I noticed a difference in the depth and body of the food flavors, as did my guests. The cookware is easy to care for; it is industrial strength. The colors are great and add to their charm; all users seem to have their favorites.I have 2 criticisms fo the cookware: the weight of the pieces (not for the weak) and the lack of cool-touch handles.

this cookware is awesome if you can deal with the weight. but for those who trust opinions like politicans, let me tell you specifically why. 1. the cast iron allows for even heating, that means it browns ground turkey or beef across the pan not just in the middle and in fact, browns it rathering than greying it so your stew soup sauce will taste better 2. nothing sticks, even when i thought things were stcking as you add other ingredients, the browned whatever comes off in the soup, stew, etc adding great flavor 3. there is no teflon and it is only a matter of time until they discover that that stuff flaking off into food is bad news and i'm sure will be proven to cause some major ailment 4. it moves from stovetop to oven no problem which if you want to really learn to cook you need to be able to do 5. it looks really cool. 6. based on what i have seen it lasts forever-really forever-amorize the cost and if youve got the coin it is a good long term deal. now for the bad part, it weights as much as a manhole cover. forget one handing it to move contents into serving bowl or tupperware as leftovers. get a really big spoon.
