Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

With its flat base and tall, straight sides, this 6-quart stockpot works well when cooking recipes that serve four or less, whether boiling water for pasta, blanching vegetables, preparing stock, or simmering soups and stews. The versatile pot, which measures approximately 9 by 12 by 10 inches, makes a useful addition to any cookware collection. As part of Le Creuset's Enamel-on-Steel line, the pot features heavy-gauge carbon steel construction for fast heating and even heat distribution (no hot spots), along with a hard, glossy porcelain-enamel finish for both durability and eye-catching beauty on the stovetop. A stainless-steel rim around the top edge of the pot helps prevent chipping and cracking. Even more, its nonreactive interior resists flavor absorption and staining and cleans up in a snap. The cookware's loop side handles ensure a secure grip when lifting or transporting, and its tight-fitting domed lid with a stay-cool knob traps heat, moisture, and nutrients when cooking. The stockpot can be safely used on all stovetops, including induction, and should be hand washed only with hot soapy water and dried thoroughly.

5.0 out of 5 stars A real keeper, January 6, 2009

I bought this pot to replace a beloved enameled cookpot that had seen better days. My old pot was cheap, but saw daily use for eight years. I was looking for something colorful and solidly made that didn't weigh a ton. It needed to be "friendly" enough to handle daily, and be nice enough to leave on the cooktop. This stockpot is fantastic. The happy color and the weight is just right--it really is a beauty. Everything-soup, pasta, rice-has turned out famously in this pot. Clean up is a snap; even stuck on pasta comes right off after a 5 minute soak. On one occasion, some soup stock became burned onto the outside and underside if the pot and it cleaned right off with a gentle scrubbing using a non-abrasive scrub sponge. The higher profile helps prevent boil-overs and is roomy without being a monster. In addition, it looks great left out on the cooktop!

I noticed some reviewers were disappointed to see the origin of the pot, but I don't think the quality has been compromised. I have never used or owned a French made Le Creuset product because the price has always been out of my reach, so perhaps there are quality nuances that I am unfamiliar with. I am happy to be able to have such a fine cookpot at a price I could manage, and look forward to many years and many meals with my cheery new stockpot.

2.0 out of 5 stars Chipping, cracking, disappointing, January 8, 2011

This review is from: Le Creuset Enamel-on-Steel 6-Quart Covered Stockpot, Dijon (Kitchen)

I bought one of these Le Creuset stock pots about a year ago because I trusted the brand and I love their heavier enameled cast iron products. Unfortunately, in less than a month the enamel had cracked inside and out and has been chipping off ever since. Just to be clear, we never subjected it to rough treatment and only boiled things in it. It's been relegated to boiling jars for canning now because I don't want little bits of enamel in my food.

This was NOT worth the nearly forty dollars I paid for it.
