Le Creuset Signature Enameled Cast-Iron 3-1/2-Quart Oval French Oven, Cherry
Best Item From Le Creuset
Utterly GORGEOUS and performs like a dream!!!
This purple French Oven was a totally unexpected birthday surprise from my soldier son, who knew how long I'd wanted one and sent it to me for my birthday this year ~ needless to say, I cried buckets!! :) Not only did he remember, he took the time to go and order it from Amazon while in the midst of one of the most dangerous places on earth, Afghanistan. I could not get over it.
Besides the emotional aspect ... this covered French oven has turned out some of the most fantastic, delicious dishes I could ever hope for. I highly recommend it - and routinely pack it into the dishwasher for cleaning, so that may be why it hasn't scratched as the previous reviewer stated - I don't use any kind of cleaning pads on it, just a cloth to remove any solid bits, and it's come out clean as new every time, very happy about that - also I make sure to use the Le Creuset silicone spatulas and spoons with it, which helps as well I'm sure. I cannot say enough good things about this beautiful...

This is a beautiful piece of cookware.
A few months ago, I was given this fantastic french oven and I still love it. It is a functional statement piece for any kitchen.
This french oven is really a dutch oven. I believe they call it a french oven because it's made by a french company but it performs all of the tasks normally performed by dutch ovens. This product is perfectly suited for soups, chillis, stews, etc. It heats evenly but be careful not to use too much heat because it's easy to burn food since it's made of cast-iron.
The color, Marseille Blue, is gorgeous. The outside of this french oven is covered in the vibrant blue enamel, while the inside is a tan color. The enamel makes it really easy to clean with soap and water (I've really put this to the test as I accidentally burned a lasagna in it).
My complaints about the product are as follows: because it is made out of cast-iron, it is really heavy to pick up, especially when food is in it. Secondly, you have to use oven mittens...
