 Great Marketing, Great Product - Lackluster Customer SupportNov 12, 2008
Until recently I have been a Le Creuset crusader. I have converted most of my friends and family. My "religion" with their products parallels the excitement that I have for most Apple products. Unfortunately I have been shown the "not so happy" side of Le Creuset. My 13 Quart beloved pot is now a pot with a large 4 inch "V" on its side. I was making a rue, stirring and voila, a low pitched ping and then two cracks that converged from the rim to the base.
Le Creuset will replace it "if" its a manufacturer defect, but they suggest that it's probably not and will offer a new one at a discount. I stopped by Williams Sanoma yesterday and picked up their marketing material which states "Lasts a Lifetime" If a lifetime is a few years then they are correct.

Best French OvenMar 25, 2008
I've been looking for a pot this big and I love it. It is HUGE and since I am a hobby cook and, Italian I can make Sunday Gravy put in containers and freeze it and have it on hand all of the time, not to mention how it retains heat. I could go on and on but I think you get my drift.

Le Creuset 13 1/4 qt French OvenFeb 19, 2008
This is a seriously large and heavy pot, but that's what I needed to make cassoulet and other recipes. It stays hot and is attractive. Its design allows it to fit easily on the middle shelf of the oven because it's wide and relatively short. A serious tool for the serious cook.

My kitchen workhorse -- expensive but so worth it!!!Jan 06, 2007
This is by far the most-used item in my kitchen. Think about it: If you could increase your cooking surface area when browning meat or vegetables or cooking soup, chili or spaghetti sauce, wouldn't you do so? This dutch oven does exactly that. I use it to brown everything--I rarely use my (very fine All-Clad) chef's skillet any more. And I actually love the high sides--they reduce spatters without reducing browning, since the cast iron almost guarantees perfect browning. This is a great pan if you need to develop fond--nothing burns in this pan once you get it up to temperature. I actually have 3 Le Creuset dutch ovens in varying sizes, but I end up using this big one most of the time. Come on--you know you want it. Buy it!
