Amazon.com Product Description
Designed to accommodate full roasts and whole fowl, this large 9-quart round French oven comes in handy when cooking for a crowd or preparing recipes that call for oversized ingredients. The heavy cast-iron cookware provides a colorful, long-lasting exterior enamel that resists chipping and cracking, plus a durable, nonreactive sand-colored interior enamel that 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's oven-safe 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.

Most valuable pot in your kitchen. Buy It!,
By B. Marold "Bruce W. Marold" (Bethlehem, PA United States) - See all my reviews (TOP 100 REVIEWER) (HALL OF FAME REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Le Creuset Enameled Cast-Iron 9-Quart Round French Oven, Red (Kitchen)
Three years ago, I ordered one of these beauties because I noticed that each and every host on the Food Network, from Martha to Mario was using this pot. I didn't know Le Creuset from Adam, and I thought the height of culinary sophistication was my eight quart Calphalon anodized aluminum Dutch oven. I even went so far in thinking that the TV guys were using this pot because it was white on the inside, so it was easy for the camera to see what was going on.
Boy, was I wrong. Ever since I got this pup, I have used it for every soup, every braise, every stew, and every pot roast I have made since. At about the same time I got an oval shaped pot and a similar sized pot shaped primarily for making soups. All three are about the same size and weight. I never use the other two except when I have something which is a lot longer than it is wide. The heat management is flawless, it is easy to clean, and it is tolerant of too much heat. As other reviewers have noted, it is a bit heavy, so if you commonly have problems with heavy cookware, consider a smaller one or my retired aluminum pot. Very highly recommended for both gas and electricity.

Makes cooking an adventure!,

This review is from: Le Creuset Enameled Cast-Iron 9-Quart Round French Oven, Red (Kitchen)
My husband and I recently tried a Coq au Vin recipe from the newspaper (as aspiring "foodies", we've been watching cooking shows on PBS and this sounded like an adventure), and I realized we didn't have a Dutch oven, anything that could go from stovetop to oven. My oval roaster does a great job on roasts, but seemed too thin to fry bacon on the stovetop as the recipe called for. After doing research on the web, looking at cookware on the cooking shows and in stores, Le Creuset seemed to be the best quality, as well as the nicest looking, especially the red. For now the 9 qt is a good size for us, big enough to cook alot at a time to make plenty of leftovers, yet not too big to handle (getting it in and out of the kitchen cabinet, washing in the sink, etc. The lid is especially heavy!). The cost was more than I originally wanted to spend, but this seemed like a good investment for cooking anything stovetop, oven, or both. We initiated the pot by making beef stew, which turned out to be quite good, and plenty for the two of us for quite a few meals. Even though there was no stovetop-to-oven capability required, the Le Creuset was still fun to use, and looked pretty sitting on the stove. Cleanup was very easy, no sticking or residue to scrub off as on my roasting pan. We're very happy with our French Dutch oven and look forward to using it for future cooking adventures!

This review is from: Le Creuset Enameled Cast-Iron 9-Quart Round French Ovens (Kitchen)
I ordered two pieces of Le Creuset items from Amazon. I have wanted to cook with their product for years, but this was the first time I was able to squeeze it into my budget.
Imagine my dismay when both items had scratches in the inner enamel (not on the outsides of the pieces). I know I got a deal from Amazon, but I started to wonder if Amazon was selling second quality. The "Le Creuset" labels on the pots were white, which indicates "first" quality. If they had been seconds the label would have been orange. With a sinking feeling in my gut, I proceeded to return both items. If it had been just one piece, I would have thought it was a fluke. But with two the incident just didn't sit right with me. I wasn't about to risk another return. I decided to try my chances with Flemington's liberty village Le Creuset where, even if I was purchasing second quality, I would have more control over the flaws I would have to deal with. As it turns out, the price of the seconds were exactly the same as those at which Amazon sells theirs. However, as the outlet was having an amazing sale, I was able to purchase three for the price of two and get free shipping. Chris the salesperson I dealt with personally looked over the pieces and chose items with flaws that I could live with. I couldn't be more pleased. So if you ultimately decide to purchase your Le Creuset from Amazon, be very sure that you inspect your items very carefully. If the scratches or flaws are on the outside, this is something you can live with. You're getting the items at the price of seconds and they'll get scratched over time anyway. But if there are scratches or protrusions on the inside of the pieces, I would seriously consider returning the items. You don't want the integrity of the pots to be compromised. 2115|R2CP7NFFOU3C6Z;2115|R8KOWQ0J9NDCZ;2115|R2H5NFVXMQL8D8;
