Since 1925, artisans have been crafting Le Creuset cookware in the French village of Fresnoy Le Grand. Each piece of Le Creuset cast iron cookware is handcast, polished, double enamel-coated and then fired, resulting in some of the finest quality cookware available. Cast iron is one of the best materials for distributing heat gently and thoroughly and is ideal for induction ranges. The strong enamel coating will not absorb odors or flavors, and is easy to clean. Heavy lids securely seal in moisture and flavor. Le Creuset cookware comes in a variety of sizes, colors and styles to match any kitchen and cooking preference. So lasting, you'll pass your Le Creuset on to the next generation of promising cooks.
Amazon.com Review: This 5-1/2-quart round French oven by Le Creuset is the most forgiving pan I've ever used. If you just happen to forget you're sauteing onions for a soup while you answer the telephone, there's no need to worry--the onions won't burn. Enameled cast iron has been recognized as one of the best materials available for cookware because it retains heat and promotes gentle, even cooking at low heat ensuring that the best flavor is brought out from the ingredients. It's perfect for use on any heat source--gas, electric, radiant, ceramic, halogen, induction, or solid fuel. There's also a tight-fitting, enameled cast-iron lid that helps seal in heat and flavor. Food will be kept hot as you bring it to the table for serving. And you will certainly want to serve out of this beautiful piece--the color and shiny finish will brighten any table setting. The French oven measures 10-1/2 by 4-1/2 inches and carries a limited lifetime warranty. --Jane DePaolo

Item was pacakged very well and received within time stated. Would buy from this vendor again.
Rating: - Lifetime of enjoyment ahead
I've been watching this pot on Amazon ever since Caribbean Blue came out in this size. It's perfect for a medium roast and veggies, soups or stews, etc. It's a deep caribbean blue with traditional beige inside. The pot is approx. 10 1/2 inches across the top opening and 4 1/2 inches deep. Not to big -- not too small. You'll be grabbing this pot for almost everything you do.
Rating: - rough edges
I was so excited to finally have my Le Creuset pot. When I opened it, the first thing I noticed was how rough the edges of the pot and lid were. For all that money, I expected better craftsmanship.
Rating: - Simply the best
A perfect tool for the serious cook. It hardly ever gets put away. Perfect browning, even heating, easy to clean. Who could ask for more?
Rating: - Le Creuset 5.5 Qt Round Pot
This enameled cast iron cook pot works very well, as expected. Foods such as soups, stews, braised meats, etc are all cooked much better than would happen in just an All-Clad pan or pot.
Very pleased with the purchase, the performance, the quality and the utility of this item.
