### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Dutch oven
*by P***O on January 8, 2026*

My wife has wanted a Dutch oven for quite some time. She has used it 3 times already since Christmas and loves the color. Went with the larger 9 qt which seems to be the best size for us. It’s a little heavy, but seems well made, and cleans up pretty easily.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Can’t go wrong with the original!
*by L***W on January 11, 2026*

Le Creuset was my first ceramic/cast iron pot. I treasured it. I cooked everything from Coq au Vin, to artisan bread, to Spanish style rice in it. Somehow in a move it got lost or stolen. Well, these are super expensive. Years later, I asked my mom and husband if they’d be willing to chip in to buy this oval pot so I could make a Thanksgiving turkey in it. This is much larger than my original pot, and all Le Creuset (like similar cast iron/ceramic pots) is HEAVY. With a 12 lb turkey, it was all I could do to get it into the oven, but wow, what a turkey; best one I ever made (using Gordon Ramsey’s recipe of course ;). The round small one I have is the best for bread, rice, stews for four people. This one is for a crowd, no matter what you’re making in it. I’ve used the cheaper versions - they just don’t hold up as well; they’ve chipped easily or the lids don’t fit correctly for a nice tight close. So this is an investment, but a good one.
