Amazon.com Review

Le Creuset has added this enamel-coated carbon-steel accessory line to its famous enamel-coated cast-iron cookware collection. The new line features the same bright colors, but not as much weight--something to consider when you're trying to lift 12 quarts of hot liquid off the stove, even with two handles. Though lighter than cast iron, the heavy-gauge steel distributes heat evenly across the bottom and up the sides of the pot for even cooking and reduction of soups and stocks, and rapid boiling of water for cooking pasta. No kitchen should be without at least one big stockpot, and Le Creuset's new version is a stylish, practical option. --Schuyler Ingle

Product Description

The Le Creuset stockpot is styled and colored to match other pieces in the collection, but due to its size is made of steel with an enamel coating. If it were made of cast iron you'd never be able to lift it safely, especially with bubbling soup or stew inside! The lid fits tightly to keep all those delicious aromas and flavors inside. This 12 quart pot is wonderful for making turkey stock, cooking crowd-pleasing chili and handling cranky crustaceans.

5.0 out of 5 stars An amazing stock pot, April 5, 2002

This review is from: Le Creuset Enamel-on-Steel 12-Quart Covered Stockpot, Red (Kitchen)

One of my most cherished possessions is my mom's 6 quart Le Creuset turquoise dutch oven that she got when she married my dad in 1952. When I needed a bigger pot, I went to Le Creuset, but was worried that the newer product would never equal the quality of the vintage stuff.

Boy, was I wrong. This pot is amazing! The quality is evident from the look and heft of the pot, and it's performance is equal to or better than my vintage pot. I'm no gourmet, but if you cook soups, stews or pasta for crowds, this one is for you.

It's a great stockpot. It is heavy enough to make it durable, and the blue color adds a splash of color to our kitchen.
