Summary: Excellent Product!
Comment: I purchased this item on March 1, 2006. Since that time we have used it to make chicken soup, tomato sauce, and chili. We have also braised chicken and boiled corned beef and cabbage. It heats VERY evenly -- unlike cheaper alternatives. The pot itself is pretty heavy -- something to consider if you have carpal tunnel or arthritis in your hands/wrists. The lid is also pretty heavy -- but I like that because it forms a tighter seal. After 2+ years it still looks like new.

Summary: Pricey, but worth it
Comment: 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.

Summary: The pot is not high quality like I thought it was
Comment: I bought a Le Creuset stockpot for my wife. She used it a few times to cook rice, then noticed a big hole in the enamel in the bottom of the pot. The pot is not high quality like I thought it was.

Summary: I love our Le Creuset french oven
Comment: This is our second Le Creuset french oven. I bought a huge 13 1/4 Le Creuset french oven a few years ago and we use it all the time. My husband is the chef in our family and he uses our Le Creuset cookware to make his stews, chili, gumbo, etc. For those who don't need to cook gigantic portions, the 7 1/4 qt french oven is plenty large enough enough to feed a family and still have leftovers. We've used many types of cookware over the years but find that the Le Creuset is better at heat distribution and also maintains the heat very well. The porcelain enamel covered cast iron cleans up very easily and our pots have held up beautifully with repeated use. So far we have had no problem with chips, scratches or discolorations. Granted, Le Creuset cookware is far from cheap, but will quickly become your favorite cookware. With proper care, these french ovens will last a lifetime and will probably be passed onto your next generation.
