Le Creuset cast iron is worth it
While I only purchased this pot a week ago, I can verify that Le Creuset is excellent cookware. In the mid 1980s, my mother found a set of Le Creuset cookware on clearance for a little over $150. My dad nearly had a cow, until he ate things cooked with it for a few weeks. Then he calmed down a bit. He still made comments about the cost every now and then for the first year or so, but when my mom went five years without purchasing a single piece of cookware (and this was a huge record for my mom), he stopped complaining. After another few years, he was so impressed with the durability, that when "his" pot (the one he used for boiling peanuts, chili, and the few other things he did in the kitchen) was pretty worn and needed replacing, he started considering buying a Le Creuset. Mind you, it was about 8-10 years after my mom's purchase, but he nearly had a second cow when he priced it and the single pot was more than my mom had paid for her set! It was at this point he...
Very nice
Le Creuset all I have to say....always great stuff. The blue is a very pretty blue the pictures don't do it justice!
Absolute Workhorse
I procrastinated about getting a Le Creuset Dutch Oven because of the price, and was ecstatic to find this as a Lightning Deal. In the almost two months I've had this, it's been in almost constant use. The color is a warm orange that shades darker on the bottom (you can't really tell that by the pictures). The interior and exterior finish cleans up fast and easy with regular soap and water. I haven't tried the cleaner that came with the set, but it's not intended for everyday cleaning. The serving trivet is very pretty, and really makes this a perfect oven-to-table piece of cookware.
I know that with Le Creuset, you pay a premium for the name. But, after buying this piece, I consider it a worthy investment. I store this with other orange kitchen items that my grandmother gave me, and I feel confident that if my daughter has children, I can pass this Dutch Oven on to them. I'll be using this until I'm too old and feeble to lift it off the stovetop.
