Amazon.com Product Description
Wider and shallower than the classic Le Creuset model, this low-profile round French oven holds up to 3-1/2 quarts and measures approximately 10 by 12-1/2 by 5-1/2 inches overall. Its shorter side walls and wide shape expose ingredients, facilitate efficient liquid evaporation, and provide a greater surface area for even browning--great for a variety of recipes and techniques, from stirring a rich risotto on the stovetop to browning ingredients before slow cooking.
Made of heavy-duty cast iron, the cookware's colorful, long-lasting exterior enamel resists chipping and cracking, while its durable, nonreactive sand-colored interior enamel offers a smooth surface for cooking and an optimal palette for food presentation. As cast iron is unexcelled for even heat distribution and superior heat retention, and enamel is impervious to acids and odors, the oven browns and cooks food uniformly and gently without hot spots and can be used for marinating, cooking on the stovetop, or finishing in the oven. Two loop cast-iron side handles help ensure a steady grip during transport--even when wearing bulky oven mitts, and the unit's secure-fitting lid locks in heat and moisture while cooking. The lid also comes fitted with a black phenolic knob that will withstand an oven's heat up to 350 degrees F. Beautiful enough for the table yet durable enough to outlive its lifetime limited warranty, the French oven can be safely used on any stovetop, including induction, and should be hand washed for best results.
Product Description
Forged and crafted by hand since 1925, Le Creuset Enameled Cast Iron cookware is a masterpiece. Each pieces is formed in its own sand mold and skillfully hand finished by more than 30 craftsmen. The result is a superior quality cookware that will provide a lifetime of everyday use.

I love this size and shape!,
By Kay Shepherd (California, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Le Creuset Enameled Cast-Iron 3-1/2-Quart Round Wide French Oven, Dijon (Kitchen)
I have this 3.5 qt round *wide* in Lilac Mist. I like the fact that this pot gives you more flat surface area than a taller pot - good for browning your meat. This is a nice size and shape for cooking a meal for two people or a side dish for more. I have made several recipes from Glorious One-Pot Meals in this pot as well as a yummy Boeuf Bourguignon from Judith Jones' The Pleasures of Cooking for One (for which the recipe is currently posted on that page). I have also made some nice veggie side dishes for larger family get-togethers in this. So it is useful for a small household as well as a larger one. Plus it's pretty, so it sits out in my kitchen on a set of open shelves with my other Le Creuset items, adding cheer and color to the room.
OH! Plus the lid fits on top of the Le Creuset Tarte Tatin Pan, which I just got. A nice bonus. (see the pictures I posted) ****update**** Another thing this pot does well is the baked brown rice recipe from The America's Test Kitchen Healthy Family Cookbook. I have had the worst luck in trying to cook brown rice on the stove. I think my problem is just not knowing my stove (heat control) well enough, plus you're not supposed to peek at the rice as it's cooking, nor for about 10 minutes after, so I don't know till then that the rice is a bit under- or over-cooked. But, BAKING the brown rice turns out nice every time since you can better control the oven heat. This pot has a nice, snug lid and cooks my brown rice in the oven perfectly.

Le Creuset Pans are great,
By Henry (Chicago) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Le Creuset Enameled Cast-Iron 3-1/2-Quart Round Wide French Oven, Black Onyx (Kitchen)
This is the 2nd Le Creuset pan that I own. This one is a little bigger. The heavy 3 1/2 quart is perfect for a big Chili recipe. I make a chicken dish often in this pan and I need to simmer on the stove and then roast in the oven. This pan can do that! Stove to oven to table to fridge with leftovers. It looks great on the stove top too. Cleaning this pan seems easier than other pans also.

This review is from: Le Creuset Enameled Cast-Iron 3-1/2-Quart Round Wide French Oven, Dune (Kitchen)
Found this under warehouse deals and got it on sale saying it had some imperfections. Found nothing wrong with it; perfect shape, no scratches and came in it's original box. Like using Le Creuset for cooking as it keeps food nice and warm and cooks it slowly making it nice and moist. I have a few other pieces from warehouse deals; all different colors and they are beautiful.
