About Le Creuset Enameled Cast Iron Signature Braiser 3.5 qt
Overall Feedback:
72% positive
82% liked the versatility
The 5qt size of the braiser is versatile for cooking soups and stews as it is the standard size for most dutch-oven recipes.
90% highlighted the size and capacity
The 3.5 court size is perfect for feeding my family of four without any issues.
I am happy with the size of the pot. I was afraid that 5qt would be too large, but it is actually the perfect size for cooking 2-4 portions of food at a time.
75% appreciated the tight lid fit, but 25% found it loose
The cover has a perfect tight fit and is heavy, which helps keep the moisture in.
The lid of the pot is uneven with a noticeable bump, and there is a hole in the enamel and black specks on the top rim.
85% highlighted the heat retention
The Dutch oven heats quickly and retains nice even heat.
89% found it easy to clean
The clean up process of this Dutch oven is easy and similar to stainless steel pans, requiring hot soapy water and a scrubby sponge or dish brush.
To clean Dutch ovens easily, soak them in hot soapy water for 10 minutes and use only nylon type scrubbers.
89% appreciated the durability, although 11% had issues
I am disappointed that the enamel scratches easily, despite being pleased with the braiser.
85% liked the aesthetic design
I find the design of the Dutch oven attention-grabbing, plump, shiny blue and UFO-looking.
