Le Creuset Round French Oven The Best French Oven

There are so many different brands of french ovens on the marketplace but none of them can match up to Le Creuset Round French Oven. Le Creuset is perfect for cooking meats and vegetables in a simmering broth because the 7 1/4 quart oven includes a tight fitting lid that helps seal in moisture and flavor. It is constructed of cast iron to absorb heat quickly, distribute it evenly and retain it for maximum efficiency, even at low temperatures.

Plus the porcelain enamel surface won't react with food and doesn't absorb odors or flavors.

This oven is elegant enough to take to the table. It has loop handles to help carrying and it is dishwasher safe!!

Before you drop your hard earned money it is nice to see what other's think about the they've owned and used for a while. Below are some real reviews from real people.

Le Creuset is a reputable, high quality brand. This Dutch Oven is made of ceramic-coated cast iron, the benefits and lasting strength of traditional cast iron with the modern convenience of dishwasher, refrigerator, and freezer safe features. It has a naturally smooth surface, even heat distribution, durability, and doesn't absorb odors. It's one of the most versatile cookware you will ever own. It's microwave, stove top, oven, dishwasher, refrigerator, and freezer safe. Being a generous 7 1/2 quart with a wide surface space, it's ideal for cooking soup that requires you to cook the vegetables or flour first. It has a high tolerance to heat. You can make anything from soup to a pot roast in the oven. Buying this may also eliminate the need to buy a roasting pan, which is great for apartments. It's pricey, but it also comes with a lifetime warranty. Be careful with cheaper versions and knock-offs b/c the coating are known to scrape off and the handles and knob are made of the cheapest plastics that melt off. You have none of these problems with this Dutch Oven.

I absolutely LOVE this cookware. Don't be put off by the seemingly high price. You will hand this stuff down to your kids. What's so special about it? It out performs all of my other cookware (yes, even All-Clad) on the stovetop and in the oven. The even heating is better than I could have imagined. It will even perform despite the crappiest cooktops. And, as an added bonus, it's the easiest to clean. I use mine for most everything . . . pot roast, soup, stew, pasta sauces, braising, slow-cooking, etc. It's great!

The 7 1/4 Quart Round French Oven is my first foray into the world of Le Creuset and I've been nothing but pleased with this item. It appears to be of exceptional quality- a recent trip to a popular "home & kitchen" type store provided plenty of opportunity for comparison, and the quality of the Le Creuset piece was obviously superior to anything the store had for sale.

I intend to replace my current cookware piece by piece with Le Creuset items. Which, while seemingly expensive, might actually *save* money in the long run. The high quality of Le Creuset cookware and the lifetime warranty certainly suggest that I may never actually *need* to purchase these items again. Buy well (once)and keep forever. Sounds like a bargain to me.

We've used this french oven several times and have thoroughly enjoyed each experience. From stovetop to oven, this product is a beauty. Cooking is a pleasure and (I'm not entirely sure how this happens, but it's true) food actually TASTES better coming from this beautiful product.
