On a cold day, come inside to a warming batch of vegetable soup simmering in Le Creuset’s round Dutch oven. If you’re not in the mood for soup, be adventurous and bake a yeasty loaf of bread or even a cake in the round oven – it’s this versatility that makes it a staple in the kitchen.
This updated kitchen classic enhances the cooking process by evenly distributing heat and locking in the optimal amount of moisture. With ergonomic handles and an advanced interior enamel that resists chipping and cleans easily, Le Creuset’s Dutch ovens blend the best of the past with the latest innovations in comfort and functionality.

THIS IS FABULOUS!
This is the most beautiful piece of cookware I own. And I own a lot. It's perfect for those large jobs where small and medium pots just can't handle the size of the meal. I love it.

MY NEW FAVORITE KITCHEN TOOL!
I received my 5½ quart Caribbean dutch oven for Christmas and I absolutely love it! You can make almost anything in it. I've made pastas, curries, stews, soups, and other "one pot" meals. It easily goes from the stove to the oven and vice versa. It heats up evenly and retains heat beautifully, though if your stove top isn't the most powerful it may take a few minutes to come to temperature (mine is 15+ years old and takes a good 5 minutes at least). The lid also fits security. It's very easy to clean. I did see light brown spots on the bottom of the oven after cooking one particular meal, but the spots have come off with white vinegar (I add enough vinegar to coat the bottom and left it for an hour and the spots came right off when I rubbed them with a paper towel). I don't mind the weight of the oven. It's my new favorite tool in the kitchen, and I use it every chance I get!

THE "GO TO" "CAN DO" DUTCH OVEN.
I love the BRIGHT RED! I have to say... I love making soup in this Dutch Oven. I could not tell you which i use more, the Braiser or this 5.5 quart WORKHORSE. If I have to cook for a bigger crowd, I use this. I feel so special in the kitchen with this. It makes you try fancier meals. I love Le Creuset Recipes too. Oslo Bucco, Beoff Bourginion, Chili, and ALL the soups. I slow have the wider shorter 3.5 Le Creuset, that William Sonoma had a special on. Perfect for two people. GET IT!
