About Le Creuset Enameled Cast Iron Signature Round Dutch Oven with Lid 5.5 Quart
Overall Feedback:
75% positive
85% highlighted the size and capacity
I got the 7.25 qt. Dutch oven and it's perfect for pot roast, roast chicken, vegetables, soups, stews, etc.
91% highlighted the heat retention, but 9% thought it was uneven
I find that the Dutch oven is a great heat conductor with fantastic heat distribution, allowing for baking breads, deep frying, or keeping a dish warm for serving.
This Dutch oven heats up quickly and retains heat throughout cooking, even on low heat.
When I cook anything in the pot, I am disappointed with the lid leaking moisture down the sides and onto the glass stove top. It starts to leak as soon as the food starts to simmer.
85% found it easy to clean
The enamel coating of this Dutch oven is an upgrade over traditional cast iron. It cleans up easily and won't react to highly acidic foods like tomato sauces.
The Dutch oven is easy to clean with just a soak in water and dish soap and a light scrub.
87% appreciated the durability, although 13% had issues
I have noticed that the product gets damaged with lighter use than my older models.
There are sand holes on the lid and inside bottom of the pot.
Initially, I thought the pot was very durable, but later it developed a chip on the inside bottom of the enamel.
I bought the Dutch oven for its quality and durability, but it did not hold true. The enamel was cracking just in the same month I purchased it and now I noticed a small chip in the enamel coating.
