Kitchen Aid Cookware: Le Creuset Enameled Cast-Iron 13-1/4-Quart Round French Ovens Review

This is indeed a large pot, but I have found it extremely useful and use it at least once a week.I didn't want a large number of pots and pans, so I looked for versatile pieces.We are just 2 in our household right now, but I bought this size mostly because it will be even more useful for the future - a family, company. I use it to cook many things that I start on the stovetop and finish in the oven.For example, to brown chicken pieces on the stovetop, add herbs, ingredients, etc, and bake it in the oven.The heavy tight fitting lid keeps the steam locked in and the food moist. I bake entire chickens in it when I am short on time (skin isn't very crispy, though)- it really cooks a whole 4-lb chicken in about half an hour at 450 degrees with the pot and oven preheated. Works great with chili, soups, beans, tomato-based sauces, even jams. The cast iron heats slow and holds heat in - I don't burn anything in this.Clean-up is so easy!
