Le Creuset Enameled Cast-Iron 3-1/2-Quart Round French Ovens Review

The single best pots for doing rich chicken dishes and the like. Conducts heat perfectly, well-balanced and very easly to clean. So many great meals have emerged from these pots that I tend to cook more frequently, especially the more slow-cooking or complex dishes.
I inheirited one of these pots and then bought another. Since then I have excused all similar imitations from the kitchen.
If I had to equipt my kitchen with 3 cooking pots/pans, this would come right after the skillet and sauce pan.

Beautiful enough for the table yet durable enough to outlive its lifetime limited warranty, this heavy, round, 3-1/2-quart French oven offers a convenient capacity for preparing and serving one-pot dinners for two, smaller entrees, or side dishes like macaroni and cheese or any variety of rice. Like all Le Creuset cast-iron products, it's hand cast in a one-of-a-kind sand mold and hand finished at the Le Creuset factory in France.
The cast-iron oven provides a colorful, long-lasting exterior enamel that resists chipping and cracking and a durable, nonreactive sand-colored interior enamel that offers a smooth surface for cooking, as well as 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. The unit's cast-iron loop side handles help ensure safe transport, and its secure-fitting lid with a stainless-steel knob locks in heat and moisture while cooking. The vessel, with or without the lid, can be safely used at any oven temperature, under the broiler, and on any stovetop, including induction. Though dishwasher-safe, Le Creuset recommends hand-washing the French oven for best results.

Le Creuset 5 1/2 Quart Round French Ovens Review

I cook mainly soups and stews (they can be reheated over a few days so I don't have to cook every night.) But my stainless pots tend to burn if I leave them to simmer. I love this pot because it heats evenly and slowly, and the enamel is non-stick or nearly so. I keep mine out on the stove all the time because I like the way it looks--the red is very cheerful in our white kitchen.
My first test run was a batch of minestrone. My recipe takes three days as I make a double beef boullion to start, then finish off with the strained stock and added vegetables. The results were great.
This is a heavy pot and the enamel can chip if you drop the top (not to mention ding your floor.) So be careful.
