Enameled Cast Iron Round Dutch Oven, 13.25 qt., Oyster

In my opinion, this might just be the ultimate cooking vessel! It truly is a “jack of all trades”, yet it excels in so many! What isn’t this great for? It can handle searing heat, or low and slow, it can easily be transferred from the stove to the oven, and back again. It’s a great heat conductor with fantastic heat distribution so it can bake breads, deep fry, or keep a dish warm for serving. With a little aluminum foil and a small wire rack, you can even turn turn it into quite an effective makeshift mini-smoker! I use the 5.5QT version, which is a nice medium-to-large “all around” size that can comfortably serve 6 people. It’s wide enough to easily use a spatula for flipping (it even sears a nice burger!), yet it’s also tall enough to go all out on nice chunky stew or bake an artisanal loaf of bread. The enamel coating is also an overall upgrade over traditional cast iron. It cleans up reasonably easily, and it won’t react to highly acidic foods such as tomato sauces. While it’s not exactly a non-stick surface, this is actually an advantage because it’s great for creating that perfect fond. On top of it all, it’s beautiful to look at. My Le Creuset Dutch oven sits on my stove as a permanent fixture because I use it for just about everything - from searing steaks to you-name-it!

Beautiful, functional and easy to clean. Great quality, as one would expect from Le Creuset, and a worthwhile investment.

I have had a le creuset 7.5 quart dutch oven for 10+ years and have been wanting to add a larger pot to my collection for some time now. This is a much bigger pot and naturally a little heavier but it's just what I want. I also have a le creuset skillet and a braiser and they're true workhorses. They're made to last and they look beautiful in my kitchen. I don't even bother storing them away, they're on display on open shelving in my cookong space. On this latest purchase, I tried my luck and took my chances with this 13.5 qt when I saw this Le Creuset dutch oven in Oyster, as a "used in good condition" at a tempting price. I'm so glad that I did! Except for a tiny scuff on the lid, this pot is solid and in perfect condition.

Like all Le Creuset items, this Dutch Oven lives up to its reputation. Very easy to clean, can be used on stovetop or in the oven, and it looks great. This is a new color and it is a winner. The initial cost may be a bit up there, but these Le Creuset items last forever. Take care of them and you can hand them down in the family. You don't throw these away, you just find more reason to use them.

When it comes to great cookware, I’m not sure there’s anything better and quality than Le Creuset. Everybody knows that. Yeah it’s expensive but it’ll last generations so your cost per meal breaks down to pennies when you think of it that way. I love this little 2 quart Dutch oven. It’s perfect for small meals for two.

I got one that was new but in a slightly damaged box, which was no big deal for me; it just saved me a good chuck of the cost. For enameled cast iron, you will not find a better quality product that this brand. It works well, easy to clean and nearly no maintenance, which can’t be said for most cast iron. This will last my lifetime (I’m 33 and will be passed on to a younger family member when I’m gone; it’s an immortal proverbial tank for cooking. You pay more for this, but if you like to cook, know you want quality that you won’t have to replace, them look no further. If you can’t spent this type of money, cuisenart makes one that is ok for a lot less money; it just won’t stand up to this one in terms of longevity.

I use this 9 Qt pot weekly to make soup. The size is great - makes a lot so you can share or freeze for future meals. This is my 4th le creuset! I have a 2.5 Qt, 4 Qt, 7 Qt and my favorite is this 9 Qt. Everything made in these pots tastes better because they cook better, more evenly. I use the 2.5 to cook perfectly made rice - every time! They are an investment, but isn’t your time cooking worth it? Enjoy!

I have only used it once, today. I was impressed it was so easy to clean. I will enjoy this for a long time. Many thanks for such a wonderful product.

schone farbe, immer gut und leicht zu reinigen. gart gleichmässig

Lascio 5 stelle solo perché uso da un bel po' di tempo le pentole e le padelle Le Creuset, e conosco benissimo la loro qualità. Purtroppo, con questa cocotte sono stata sfortunata, mi è arrivata scheggiata per un errore di trasporto e ho dovuto renderla. Non l'ho più trovata disponibile.

No la uso tanto como debiera, principalmente por el peso y el lugar en el que la tengo guardada, pero su funcionalidad y calidad es de primera. He preparado birria, cochinita y otras cosas y no tiene defecto. el tamaño es perfecto para platillos que incluyan unas 6 personas.
