Each piece from our extensive range of high-quality enameled cast iron cookware is designed for ease and versatility of use, fitting in with all styles of cooking, all types of cooking appliances and any style of kitchen or dining decor. Please read this section before using your cookware for the first time. The information it contains will help you achieve the best possible cooking results.

Enameled cast iron is a remarkable and robust material that performs well with modern requirements for food preparation and cooking. Whether you choose to stir-fry, slow-cook a casserole, sear a steak or bake a cake, there is a shape that is suitable. Cast iron performs well for either slow cooking or high-temperature searing.

Cast iron can be used reliably on any heat source, including induction, and with any oven or grill. It has the ability to retain heat efficiently, which allows for use of lower heat settings in stovetop and oven cooking. On the table, a hot covered dish will keep food hot for second servings.

Cast iron can also be used to keep foods cold. A chilled dish becomes an ideal cold food server on a hot summer day. It can also be placed in the freezer for food storage or advanced food preparation

High heat temperatures should only be used for boiling water for vegetables or pasta, or for reducing the consistency of stocks or sauces. High heats should never be used to preheat a pan before lowering the heat for cooking. Cast iron retains heat so efficiently that overheating will cause food to burn or stick.

The vitreous enamel surface is impermeable and therefore ideal for raw or cooked food storage, and for marinating with acidic ingredients such as wine.

There's not much that hasn't been said about this great French Oven, but one thing I'll add/emphasize is that if you're deciding between this and the 5 1/2 quart, this is the one to get.

The 5 1/2 quart pot is terrific, but it is too small for many soups, stews, etc. I can much more easily picture scenarios where people would be wishing the 5 1/2 quart had more room, while it is harder to imagine a case where this one would be too big.

My original Le Creuset has the smaller handles and though it's the most beloved pot I own, the handles are an issue. I have a bit of arthritis in my thumbs and I found that lifting the pot using even Silicone Mitts was a bit squirmy and I felt a bit unsure, especially when taking a heavy pot out of the oven.

This pot has bigger handles for a better grip but is the same, wonderful enamel-over-cast iron that works so well for cooking soups and roasts. The enamel is inert (like glass) and is non-stick as long as you remember not to scratch it up with abrasive cleaners and scrubbers. If something sticks, you can soak it when it's cooled down, and there is a TRICK for the sad, black patches that happen occasionally to the distracted cook. (No saving the burnt-flavored food, you're on your own if your pot roast "catches" on the bottom. I taste the sauce, and if no burnt flavor permeates, we are good to go.) To remove burnt patches, let the pot cool down, fill about 1/4 the way with water, add a handful of baking SODA and boil up. Then let sit off heat. The action of the alkaline soda on the somewhat acidic burnt food will lift it right off the bottom in big flakes. Then you can wash out the pot as usual. For stains, you can use a paste of baking soda or try some Barkeeper's Friend (which is said to be non-abrasive.) The pot will eventually stain a bit on the bottom, and that is called "patina"; in other words, don't fret.

This pot stays on my stove all the time--it's pretty and I love the cherry red, though the other colors are equally attractive. I had to choose, and red is good in many kitchens (black and white, yellow, for example.) It looks appetizing.

This is my 2nd 7 1/4 French Oven. The first lasted about 10 years before the interior enamel on the bottom was worn badly enough that I felt it needed to be replaced. Ironically the interior sides and exterior were pristine and could have passed for new (too bad they can't just refinish the bottom). LC told me to send it in for evaluation, and if they agreed that it was worn but not abused they would replace it free of charge (I had to pay shipping fees to them). They did in fact replace it with a new one. My second one is now over two years old, and it is also starting to show some minor signs of the enamel wearing. You can see it if you inspect it closely, you can also feel it if you run your fingers over it. It's a slightly grainy feeling, as opposed to the perfect smoothness of the intact enamel.

I am a serious home cook and I take excellent care of my cookware, especially this french oven. It's great for so many things, as well as being attractive. But I've really grown tired of cleaning it, and I now find myself using it less and less. Whenever I sear anything (which is often) I get stains on the bottom that are a huge pain to remove. Cleaning it can be a multi-day process of soaking and scrubbing with a no-scratch sponge. I should point out that I have used and cleaned it according to LC guidelines. I don't use prohibited abrasive pads or harsh chemicals. I only use plastic or wooden utensils, just to be extra careful.

I am confused about some reviews that I see claiming that the pot will not stain, or the enamel does not wear. Maybe others simply use the pot no matter what the condition. But I guarantee you if you do anything more than boil water you will get staining and wear. If this doesn't bother you then it could in fact last a lifetime.

just ask all the friends and family to whom I've given so much of it! This new blue color is very attractive and looks very nice just sitting on my pots and pans shelf. I must admit I cringe when I see virtually EVERY television cook using metal utensils and banging those utensils on the edge of the pan to clean off the food residue. Even Jacque Pepin does it and he of all people should have more respect for this magnificent cookware. Enameled cast iron is very rugged but sharp wraps on the porcelain will eventually cause chipping and your pan will be ruined. I have several pieces of the Le Creuset including a frying pan and two saucepans and they cook wonderfully. Do NOT use high heat to melt butter or to heat the pans more quickly; it promotes sticking and burning. Use wooden or Le Creuset's rubber utensils in these pans to stir and scrape and the lustre will remain for many years. These pans will make a much better cook of anyone who appreciates the best. Remember, buy the best and you are only disappointed once!

My wife has wanted this for years to add to her cast iron collection. However, because there are so many other brand names out there at a fraction of the price, we could never justify the cost. We have purchased and used other french ovens. While they did a commendable job, my wife still felt that, based on her research, the Le Creuset was the best choice among French/Dutch ovens.

She was right. I recently purchased it for her. She made a pot roast as her first dish in her new 7 1/4-Quart Le Creuset French oven and was amazed at how easy it was to sear and slow roast the meat and vegetables. An added bonus - during cleanup she ran hot water in the pan, placed a small amount of dish liquid in the water and let it soak. She was prepared to let the pot soak overnight. Amazingly, she found that she was able to clean the pot within minutes using only a sponge.

This pot is money well spent. Although it's heavy (not unexpected for cast iron), it clearly will be used often by us for years to come. Worth the investment!
