Le Creuset Enameled Cast Iron Oval Dutch Oven & Reviews

The iconic Le Creuset Dutch oven is indispensable in the kitchens of home cooks and professional chefs alike. Long recognized for its strength and durability, cast iron is the prime material for slow-cooking, braising, and roasting, thanks to its ability to maintain even and consistent heat. The enameled Dutch oven needs no seasoning, and it’s suitable for both stovetop and oven use. The oval shape is particularly suited to longer cuts of meat or poultry. Le Creuset produced the first enameled cast iron cookware nearly a century ago, and the original foundry still operates today, where 15 skilled artisans hand-inspect each piece. This tradition of the finest culinary craftsmanship, combined with the latest innovations in comfort and functionality, makes Le Creuset unsurpassed in both beauty and quality.

After being disappointed by the declines in quality of some of my favorite brands, I was happy to see that Le Creuset is still a top-notch product. I ordered an 8qt oval dutch oven, and despite what appeared to be marginally adequate packaging for such a heavy item, a close inspection showed that it arrived in pristine condition. I wasted no time in putting it to use in the production of a large batch of beef bourgignon, which came out perfectly. And after storing the beef in the pot for a week, everything cleaned up to its original condition.

Can't go wrong with Le Creuset Stoneware. I purchased two intending to us them to cook small meals for my husband and myself. (I'm a vegetarian and he is not.) Problem is they are too small for a meal (only holds 1 cup). That is my fault. I should have paid more attention to the description. However, I like them so much and they are so versatile I can use them for other things. Also very cute (light blue) and I will keep them.. Rebecca. Missoula, MT. Wed Dec 03 2025
