Le Creuset Enameled Cast-Iron 15-1/2-Quart Oval French Ovens Review

I got a deal on this monster a few years ago and bought it even though I thought it was way bigger than I would ever need. WRONG! It has become one of the most used items in my kitchen. Large batches of soups or sauces are never a problem, and any extra room just keeps things cleaner due to reduced splash. This pot will hold a good sized turkey, or 3 whole chickens, or 1 whole pork shoulder, etc, etc. Quality construction, very useful, long life. Also, a canners dream. Buy it.

Product Description:
Whether supporting a tray of madeleines or a bubbling cheese souffle, this 9-inch trivet protects heat sensitive countertops and tables while maintaining an aura of elegance. Its intricate design and durable construction are the handiwork of fourteen, skilled Le Creuset artisans. Beginning with raw materials in a creuset cauldron, molten iron is poured into a one-use-only mold, rendering each trivet unique. Le Creuset craftsmen carefully examine the trivet after each step, applying multiple coats of enamel. This detailed workmanship prevents the trivet from shattering easily, plus helps prevent warping. Three solid feet further support the trivet. Dishwasher- safe, this Le Creuset piece can be washed in warm, soapy water after cooling--avoid using metal scrubbing pads. Le Creuset offers a lifetime warranty on this product. --Jessica Reuling

Le Creuset Stoneware Deep Dish Loaf Pan, Cobalt Review

That I bought another one so I could bake two loaves at once. We go through a lot of bread here, and I love to share with friends and neighbors so I bake almost daily.

Through the years I have tried all sorts of bakeware. For artisan breads I like the cloche by Sassafrass. But for regular loaves you can't beat these stoneware pans. The bread comes out evenly browned, with a lovely rise and shape every time.

Easy to clean, also works fine for meatloaf. And beautiful. What's not to love?

I'm a longtime believer in cast iron so I am slowly collecting Le Creuset pieces. I have other stoneware baking pieces of theirs and they all perform wonderfully.

This stuff is pricey, each purchase has been saved and planned for. And you can cook just as well in a Lodge skillet or dutch oven. It doesn't have to be blue or enamel lined. If you don't spend a lot of time in the kitchen, or aren't concerned about food safety issues, maybe you don't need it. I have a gas stove and before that a wood stove. I suspect this cookware performs better there than on an electric stove top. The ovens should be the same.

If you love to cook and slow food is your style, these products are a good investment. They will serve you well for a lifetime. Then you can will them to the lucky ones.

Le Creuset Cookware Set , 20 Piece Review

There was a bit of sticker shock involved, but the 20 piece Le Creuset cookware set has performed well so far. Easy to use, easier to clean up, and all the pieces look fabulous.

We originally bought the set for induction cooktop compatibility (since most pieces are enameled cast iron), but in truth these are great pieces no matter what type of stove one has.

Heads up - several pieces are stoneware, so those particular ones will not work on induction cooktops - they work great in the oven, though!

Le Creuset Enameled Cast-Iron 11-3/4-Inch Skillets Review

First of all, let me say I agree with the reviewer who deducted stars from the 9" skillet due to the non-stick coating.Since non-stick coatings are chemicals, I refuse to use any cooking utensil with the coating on them.The original, baked enamel finish on this skillet works great.The secret is using moderate heat and adding oil once the pan warms up, then adding the food items.If the meat sticks, it will unstick as it carmelizes (this also applies to their grilling skillets).I find that I can just wipe mine out and keep using it until I make chili or something messy like that.Then all I do is fill the skillet with water and let it sit a while, then it rinses clean.At the maximum, I've taken a boar bristle brush to a couple of spots once or twice, that's all.

I beseech this company to leave the non-stick coating off their skillets even though one reviewer below seems to prefer it.Or at the minimum give the consumer a choice but I'd bet most would prefer the original, satin finish.In fact, I bought this skillet because of the fired enamel finish as I discovered my well-known name brand stainless steel skillet and stew/pasta pot has too much nickel in them so I can't use them.Anyway, I love this skillet.It makes a good wok too as the burner is under the center of the pan.I can fry up one veggie, push it off to the side where it stays warm while I fry the next one, then push it over until I'm finished.Did I say I loved this skillet?

I wish they made a lid for this skillet as I had to buy another brand which doesn't match but it works.Since most skillets come without lids, this is being silly, I agree.So then, I highly recommend this skillet both for cooking and for easy clean-up.

Le Creuset 9-Piece Cookware Set Review

The cast iron pots alone deserve a 5-star review.I love them so much, I want to buy an additional complementary color set! However, I must admit that I've had these pots for over a year and haven't yet used the stockpot or the casserole dish. So, what would I do with an additional pair if I were to buy the 2nd set? Truth be told, I'm hesitant to use the stock pot because it's steel and not cast iron.I tend to be on the rougher side as far as usage goes and I'd be nonplussed if it chipped b/c I'd know not what to do. This is why the cast iron has been a treasure.So, even though I have miscellaneous pieces I've yet to venture forward with a) I'm beside myself that all these pieces match b)the cast iron can take a beating and look like new after soap&water c) the cast pieces will not ever disintegrate like lesser quality pots d)(if I'm lucky)My children could use these if I look after the pots carefully enough!
Caution:
- Try to rinse as much excess water off the pot/towel dry if possible after washing.Else, there may be early signs of rust.Nothing a rewash and a vigorous towel dry won't take care of though! After I did this, and was quite careful about excess water on my pots, no rust has threatened to return.
- Don't was in the dishwasher.I bought a Martha Stewart cast iron French oven (*not Le Creuset)and after boiling pasta threw it in the dishwasher only to find it covered - Yes, Covered - in rust that would not come off no matter how hard I tried.I only used it once and had to throw it away.Moral of the story: Don't put your cast iron pots/pans in the dishwasher!

Le Creuset 1-Quart Round French Ovens Review

As I write this, Amazon is advertising this as a 1-quart French oven. (As are other sites, so Amazon may have been given wrong information). The box itself says that this is a ¾-quart (0.9 liter) French oven. I poured water in it to check, and yes, even filling it to the brim, you can't quite fit one quart of water in it. So be warned.

That said, it's of the same high quality as Le Creuset's other French ovens. I bought it to make single serving one-pot meals, and it's working just fine for that. Even though it's tiny, the handles are the same size as on my 2¾-quart French oven, so you can get a secure grip on it. It's a good oven, just small(er).
