 Just the right size!! August 2, 2005

This is a wonderful all-purpose pot. I use it for a multitude of purposes:
1.Making sauces for pastas and then adding the pasta to the sauce and tossing. The curved sides make it perfect for the quick and easy blending of shrimp scampi with lemon spaghetti for example.
2.Stir-fry. The sloping sides and great heat retention make stir-fry a natural.
3.Casseroles - Easy clean up and a comfortable size make this a wonderful casserole pot.
4.Reheating - the large surface area makes this the pot to go to when reheating almost any main course - lamb shanks come to mind immediately.
I find that I use this pot for almost everything except soup. For soup I turn to my handy 5- quart Le Creuset Dutch oven. Less surface area means less chance to slop over when stirring. I had the 7- quart soup pot and gave it away. It was far too much of a space hog on top of the stove. However this pot is neither too large not too small - it is just right!

This is a great piece of cookware.
I realize now that for my purposes I should have gotten the dutch oven, but for the price I am not complaining.
I use it mostly for meat sauce for spaghetti and for stews.
I have browned 4 large boneless skinless chicken breasts in it.(I suspect I could fit 6 if I tried)
Although they will not all fit/lay flattly on the bottom, when I lay them around the base (like a wreath) whatever is in contact with the pot, anywhere, browns. (lightly oil the chicken first)
As mentioned I wish I had goten the dutch oven instead because it would give me a larger FLAT cooking surface. And in reality it could be used as a soup pot as well.
This pot is not big enough to make soup (the way I do)for my family of four. I have the butcher cut up a whole chicken, then I throw in a package of wings. By the time I would add carrots, turnips, celery and water this little pot would be OVERFLOWING. I purchased an 8qt pressure cooker to make stock instead.
But this makes a really fine meat sauce for spaghetti!
Happy cooking!
My favorite pot! August 15, 2004

I recently discovered how great LeCreuset cookware is! This pot is a winner and I use it more than any other. This is a good size, not too big nor too small--and the red color is fabulous. The quality of LeCreuset is excellent and I would not hesitate to recommend it. Beautiful, reliable and sturdy!
Truly a work of art. April 26, 2004

If I could marry a soup pot, this would be my groom. He would last longer than a lifetime, cook like a pro, and clean up without any effort, all whilst looking like he's too beautiful to do anything but sit and preen.
I truly adore this pot. It does everything they say it does, and better than you expect. The solidity and weight of the pot, a problem for some, are to me the emblems of durability and resilience in a line I will look forward to passing down to my children.
Love it April 12, 2004
I use this soup pot all the time. It was the first piece of Le Creuset I bought, and it was the most reasonably priced piece available for its size. While I have used it for a dutch oven, and it has worked well, I decided to buy a flat-bottomed piece and a smaller dutch oven in addition. These pans are addictive!
