I have been using this over the past week and already love it. I have been cooking every meal in it as its so versatile. It can be used on the hob and then transferred to the oven and you can even put it in the fridge if you have leftovers. The enamel resists food sticking to it and I found it easy to clean after use with a none abrasive sponge. The cast iron absorbs the heat and distributes it evenly, so you don't end up with hot spots. I went for the 28cm and I'd say it was the ideal size for a family of 3-4. Its also the perfect size for a standard 60cm wide oven/fridge, with enough room either side to hold the handles. There is loads of room inside for sweating down onions etc and the tall sides stop any bits escaping when stirring. The quality is outstanding as is to be expected for this price point. The lid is a perfect fit and holds in the steam well. Its also a lot lighter than cheaper cast iron casserole dishes, while still being thick enough to retain heat. Overall the fit and finish is superb and it also looks fantastic in the matte black I chose. Overall I am over the moon with this casserole dish and can see myself using this for many years. Its expensive, but I feel its worth it for the quality of the product and the lifetime warranty.

I recently purchased the Le Creuset 28cm Dutch Oven, and I couldn’t be more impressed. The delivery was excellent, fast, secure, and the item was incredibly well-packaged, arriving in perfect condition. This Dutch oven is truly a universal piece of cookware. It’s perfect for everything from slow-cooked stews, curries, and soups to baking crusty bread or roasting a chicken. I’ve already used it to braise beef short ribs, make a rich tomato-based sauce, and even tried no-knead bread, each time, the results were fantastic. The even heat distribution and heat retention are unmatched. It works flawlessly on both the stovetop and in the oven, and the enamel interior means food doesn’t stick easily, making it ideal for browning meats before simmering. The 28cm size is generous enough to feed a family or meal prep in batches, without being unwieldy or difficult to handle. Care Tips: This pot does require a bit of mindful care to keep it in top condition. I always use wooden or silicone utensils to avoid damaging the enamel. It’s best to avoid sudden temperature changes (e.g., cold water on a hot pot), and while it’s dishwasher safe, I find that hand washing preserves the finish much better in the long run. Avoid using harsh scourers or abrasive cleaners, warm soapy water and a soft sponge do the trick. If you’re serious about cooking or just want to invest in one pot that can do it all and last for years (even decades), I can’t recommend this enough. It’s not just functional, it’s beautiful, too. An absolute staple in my kitchen. Why did you choose this product over others?: The reputation of the brand speaks for itself, versatile build and cooking quality and guaranteed to last a lifetime

Update. Still using it, mostly on the hob top, as the effect is the same as in the oven, but easier and the juices do not burn onto the lid. Many recipes include frying meat before adding souce, and I fry it separately on a black cast iron frying pan in order to make the enamelled caserolle pot easier to clean, usually just throwing it in the dishwasher. It is still like new, using it often - nice! It is better in every aspect than the unbranded one I had before, it's also a "feel good" item. The capacity 3.2L is suitable for about 1.2kg meat in either Beef bourguignon or lamb meatballs koftas in tomato sauce, i.e. one or two meals depending on the size of the family. It is slightly lighter than the old one I had, the handles are more comfortable, and iron under the enamel seems to have some coating, or it can be a fancy alloy - it is visible at the upper edge. It holds heat so well, that it can be used on the hob rather than in the oven, just keep the heat at a low setting and let time do the job. The bottom of the pan is just under 18cm or 7'' in diameter, i.e. for the medium hob ring, while the advertised 22cm is its top. I think, the 4L version might be a little more versatile.

I absolutely love my Le Creuset, from one pot recipes to making a pie filling, this does everything. I know it's more expensive than others out there but the quality isn't comparable.

As expected, a well crafted casserole dish which is a pleasure to use. Cleans up like new and cooks without any hotspots unlike the cheap generic copy cat dishes used in the past. The only oversight from my side is the weight. The 28cm dish bought here is quite heavy so storing cooked foods in the fridge overnight needs a bit of planning to avoid storing at height or placing too much pressure on glass shelves. Easy solved with a bit of rearranging. Would definitely recommend as 100% worth every penny.

I was always in love with Le Creuset because of the the quality. Yes, it's expensive, but as my mother always said: I am not wealthy enough to buy cheap. Le Creuset is an investment for life. I am not only a hardcore foodie (travelling around the world to eat at the most exciting restaurants), I also work with top chefs as their international PR (my clients are worldwide). So food means a lot to me! I bought this piece for cooking - on a stove and in the oven. I liked the fact that it can be used for both and that it has an amazing heat distribution, is durable and beautiful. But then a month ago I started also baking my own bread. I got obsessed with bread making (it relaxes and it is very rewarding when you see your results) and one of the reasons my results are so good, is this casserole! You need to keep the humidity in the bread when baking, and a very high heath. And this one is an ideal piece for great results. When my daughter moves on her own, this will be the gift she will receive for me. This says it all!

Perfect transaction many thanks

Zoals Le Creuset is, om lang plezier van te hebben.

The perfect Le Creuset cast iron pot for baking beautiful loaves of sourdough bread. Just the right weight in being not too heavy. And beautifully made. Thank you for the excellent deal and getting it to us intact and quickly, too.

Panela maravilhosa

This 4.5qt. round Le Creuset dutch oven is perfect! There are NO flaws in the finish! I need it for a size-specific recipe. However, it will be used for so many of my other baked goods and stovetop meals. Thank you for selling top grade pieces!
