Summary: Quality and customer service isn't what I thought it would be 2010-03-05
Comment: After a year of use, the enamel interior of my 5 1/2 quart Le Creuset French Oven is starting to flake off. I e-mailed customer service, three days later no response. So I called customer service, got voicemail each time so I left a message. Got a call back, and I have to spend $25 to ship the item back to them, then they will inspect it and decide whether I get a new piece or a discount (based on whether they think it's a manufacturer's defect- I have a feeling they probably never think it's a manufacturer's defect, since they're the manufacturer). And they don't ship back your old oven either. Their excuse for not responding to my e-mail was that they're having a high volume of calls. If the product really did last a lifetime as they say it does, I wouldn't expect them to have that problem. I'd expect them to be like the Maytag repair man in the commercials, with nothing to fix. Three stars because I actually loved this piece very much before the enamel started coming off, but $260 for a year's worth of use is a bit out of my price range.

Summary: cook a messy meal, clean up is a cinch! 2010-02-24
Comment: if there is a more perfect cooking pot then I have yet to find it
5.5 quarts of magical goodness awaits you
perfect sauces, tender pot roasts, stove top to oven easiness
I've cooked dozens of meals in this thing and NEVER HAD TO SCRUB IT, not even a little!
I made chili a while back. The even heat meant nothing stuck to the bottom, the tight fitting lid meant I didn't have to check it every 5 minutes to make sure the water hadn't boiled off, and cleaning it took about 2 minutes (and that includes filling it with soapy water).

did I mention that it is my favorite thing in the world to clean?
no, seriously, you just fill it with soapy water, then wait a few minutes
and wipe it clean with a sponge!!!
I hate cleaning dishes (ask my roommates, they'll tell you how much I hate it) so I LOVE this pot.

Summary: better purchase these "in person"-rec'd & returned TWICE w/interior chips 2010-02-16
Comment: Amazon gave great delivery and return service. The first one had a tiny chip inside [which would get bigger over time]so I returned and ordered replacement. That one also had a tiny chip inside on the porcelin, so I returned for full credit. I was very disappointed! Best advice is to shop for these in person so you can visually inspect.

Summary: Cast Iron French Oven 2010-02-08
Comment: I absolutely love this piece of cookware. It has all of the advantages of cast iron cookware but is so much prettier.
