Le Creuset Enameled Cast Iron Signature Sauteuse Oven, 3.5 qt., Cerise

I cook a lot and this is by far the most versatile and now, the most used pot/pan in my kitchen. It’s a skillet/frying pan that browns food well, a deep skillet, a sauce pot, a soup pot, a casserole dish, and a stove-to-oven pan. So versatile! The size is great for 4-6 servings, depending on what you’re cooking. I bought the licorice colour and it’s a matte black, but with enough sheen not to be boring. Definitely pretty enough to use as a serving dish. I’ve been using it so often, I keep it on the stove since it looks so nice. This is my first Le Creuset and I am very impressed. Heats well, easy to clean, and this size is easy to handle. Even fits in my Breville counter oven. I have a 5 quart inexpensive Chefmate Dutch oven and wanted the 5.5 quart Le Creuset Dutch Oven, but thought it silly since mine cooks fine. But having used this, I see such better quality, that it’s back on my wishlist now. That said, I’d still want this 3.5 quart size for its versatility and easy handling. I can see both getting a lot of use.

Not cheap, but excellent quality //glad it was purchased for the useful life of this product.

I have a few pieces in this color and absolutely love it. I have the 12 inch skillet which after several uses and seasonings in the oven, it definitely has some discoloration on the outside, but I just think it's well-loved. I bought this initially to bake sourdough bread, but decided against it as I have another larger Le Crueset and some in my sourdough baking group have said that you could ruin the enamel. So I pivoted and use this when I'm making smaller dishes and don't want to haul out my larger Le Crueset. I love how easy it is to clean if there are stains (baking soda paste).

what can i say, it's Le Creuset! quality & craftsmanship are superb. thankfully, nabbed this little guy via 'Flash Sale' or i wouldn't have bought it. yes, these are ungodly expensive kitchen utensils but worth every nickel; they're consistently flawless & this is our 3rd piece of Le Creuset. i liked this particular 3.5 qt. model for it's size & utility (our other 2 pieces are significantly larger). our other pieces were gifts so this one was first we'd ever bought ourselves & we're tickled that we did. my only "beef" (pun intended) is that like all enameled cast iron cookware, the inside will (eventually) stain & there's no avoiding this reality. the more you use them, the more 'seasoned' they will become & the interior will, over time/ usage, begin to stain. i've no tips on how best & safely to remedy this natural cause-effect myself but as for cooking applications Le Creuset is practically nonpareil IMHO. i enjoy cooking... A LOT & our stuff gets used. this handy little bugger though fits the bill when a behemoth cast iron piece just isn't necessary. it's versatile, lighter than other pieces due to size, extremely durable/ well made & very likely could wind up one of those 'heirloom' pieces that gets passed down from generation to generation. does this justify the price tag? i don't know, you be the judge. however, if you buy it, just know you're making a legitimate investment that will pay for itself over and over and over again for decades to come. yes, i would recommend this piece - 100%. Happy Cooking!!

Best item I’ve ever purchased for my daily cooking. Such good quality.

Have several pots and pans. The best quality cookware you can buy. Even heat and sturdy construction. Great size if your not cooking for a crowd. Safe from toxins unlike nonstick alternatives.

This strong Sauteuse Oven gets the job done. The color really pops and is so beautiful to look at. Everything cooks well and quick in it as it holds the heat. It is a bit on the heavy size when compared to its size. It is not the biggest pot by any means, but handles all the food I have put in it over the years. It is also very clean, still - no stains, nothing stock on it because it is very easy to clean. This pot will last me a decade or more and I hope to buy more in its line because of how well it has done in my home.

I had a set of Le Creuset in 1988. Foolishly I let them go many years later. I have one piece left. I loved the size of this Dutch oven. Perfect for a small household. Cooks beautifully. Holds the heat as only cast iron can. I will purchase a multi function pot to complete my new set.

Muito bom! Qualidade superior !

Classique Le Creuset!

il est vraiment beau et très utile.

The lid was scratched, the color didn't match with the picture, the size was not correct. Inner surface was uneven. Asked to return the product, but more than a week has passed without collection. A refund was allegedly issued, but Im yet to see the credit on my card invoice.

Sin duda por eso es la mejor marca, la calidad se nota y la comida sabe deliciosa sin duda comprare hasta juntar toda mi bateria
