Product Review

The traditional method of slow-cooking meals in a pot will fill your house with the aroma that says "home." At 2 quart capacity this is a fine choice for a smaller household for jobs like cooking grains or vegetables, or warming up soups, or making sauces.

Amazon.com Review

Beautiful enough for the table and durable enough to outlive its lifetime warranty against defects, this heavy, round, 2-quart French oven is perfect for preparing and ceremoniously serving dishes like cassoulet and vegetable soup. It's made of cast iron, with both exterior and interior clad in two coats of enamel.

As cast iron is unexcelled for heat distribution and retention and enamel is impervious to acids and odors, the oven (or casserole) browns and cooks food uniformly and gently without hot spots and can be used for marinating. It's safe on any stovetop, including induction, and dishwasher-safe. The plastic knob on its heavy, tight-fitting lid is ovenproof to 450 degrees F. 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. It carries a lifetime warranty against defects. --Fred Brack

This review is from: Le Creuset Enameled Cast-Iron 2-Quart Round French Oven, Flame (Kitchen)
I got my first Le Creuset cookware in 1978. It was my college graduation week, & I was relaxing on the lawn reading the Sunday Boston Globe. I saw an ad for a Le Creuset starter set (French oven + 2 covered saucepans + skillet) for a very low price, so I decided to go for it since I was about to be out of the dorm living on my own. That purchase turned out to be one of my best investments ever, as I still use all the pieces today. I now have 3 French ovens, 5 covered saucepans, 3 skillets, 1 oval au gratin, 1 multi 2-in-1 pan with nonstick omelette cover, 1 rectangular baking pan, & 1 cheese fondue set, all in flame. These cast iron utensils are virtually indestructible, except for a few minor dings in the outer enamel. They cook very evenly, given the cast iron, making me a possibly better than average cook (they're one of my unfair advantages). My only problem with the cookware is the heavy weight, but that comes with the territory with cast iron utensils. I guess I'll have...Read more

Twenty-five years of hard use, and eight children later, my Lecrueset cookware is still in excellent condition. Now, I am adding some of those special pieces I could never afford. Amazon is wonderful to work with. Not only did I get a very good "buy", but all was delivered promptly and just in time for Christmas. Families grow and grow...and Lecreuset has a size for everything. Thanks so much. Patricia Welter
