I wish years ago
March 21, 2013
I have seen Le Creuset cookware for years but always felt it was out of my price range. I wish I would have started purchasing Le Creuset piece by piece instead of buying the many pieces of cheaper pans I have thrown away because they wore out and I couldn't afford what I really needed for cooking. The soup pot is my most current purchase and it was so wonderful to make a homemade soup in. As with most homemade soups, they do seem to "grow" as you keep adding to it. This pot allowed my soup to "grow" and become fabulous.
Pros: Durable, Easy to Use, Quality, Easy to Clean, Color, Size, Versatile, Shape, Design, Weight

Steel Stock Pot
March 19, 2013
I thought Le Creuset only manufactures iron cast pans. Thus, I was very disappointed when I realized that this pan is made of steel and not iron. It is not worthy the price compared with other similar pans available. I do not recommend it.
Cons: Quality, Weight, Fragile, not iron cast

Great pot!
February 6, 2013
Love this pot! It's lightweight, cooks beautifully, and looks good. Just remember to not cook on high heat for long. For browning, it's fine. But longer times will cause your food to stick and/or burn. I do recommend this pot. Bought two of them.
Pros: Durable, Easy to Use, Quality, Easy to Clean, Color, Size, Versatile, Design, Weight

Good value
November 30, 2012
For the price, this is a good buy. I bought the 8 qt for a specific recipe and didn't want to spend a lot of $$$. It does a nice job of keeping stock at a slow simmer but as others have noted, you won't want to use it on high heat for long once you've brought things to the desired temp. It is lightweight, and doesn't have the quality feel that the French-made enameled iron has, but then you probably wouldn't be able to lift it either. Since it is a double-walled vessel, there is the potential for water to seep in between the two layers and cause rusting if laid on its side in a sink of dishwater. Probably best to fill it with soapy water and wash it alone. It does clean easily too.
Pros: Easy to Use, Easy to Clean, Weight

Great All Purpose Pot
October 28, 2012
I received this as a wedding present almost 2 years ago, and absolutely love it! It did take some initial getting used to because it does have a thin bottom, like the previous reviewer mentioned, but since then, I haven't burned a single thing.
It's great for just about anything. I've used it in the oven for 90 minute No Soak Beans (came out PERFECT!) I've used it on the stove all day for soups and stews. And I intend to use it in the future for broths as well.
I don't recommend anything too starchy, as that will be more inclined to scorch, but I love it, and plan to buy it as a wedding present for others in the future!
Also, watch out, because it does have handles that heat up with the rest of the pan. They are not insulated like typical handles on typical pots.
Pros: Durable, Easy to Use, Quality, Easy to Clean, Versatile, Shape
Cons: took some getting used to re: thin bottom

conducts heat far too well
July 8, 2012
For cooking stock or broth, for hours, on super low heat with a diffuser, this pot is wonderful. For cooking anything directly on a burner, beware. The bottom is so thin, and conducts heat so well, it is very very easy to burn whatever you are cooking. Therefore I will say do not cook soup in this pot and do not use it as a multi-purpose large cooking pot. Low heat with diffuser, that's what this pot needs. Luckily, Le Crueset quality means that if you, like me, foolishly use it for cooking something like chutney, and you end up with a burnt sticky mess, a little soaking cleans it up well.
Pros: Easy to Use, Easy to Clean, Size
Cons: single use

Le Creuset Enamel Steel Stock Pot
I volunteered at a church where we fed 60 to 65 homeless people per week. I used the 20 qt Le Creuset stockpots for soup. They were phenominal, you can't use high heats as the customer above stated, the product conducts heat much too well, this is true. Just turn the heat down. Bring recipe to a simmer then turn heat down to lowest, put lid on and let it go. There were times I had to put 3-20qt stockpots into a 500 degree oven as there were no burners left available. Nothing ever stuck or burnt. The pots were so large, filled with soup, it took the high temperature to get the job done in a timely manner. They did a great job and were so easy to clean. EXCELLANT!! These are steel much lighter weight but when filled with 20 quarts of soup they had to be moved by a man. I HAVE NEVER MET ANY LE CREUSET I DIDN'T LOVE!!
