Customer Reviews of Le Creuset Enameled Cast-Iron 9-Quart Round French Oven, Cobalt
Customer Rating:  Summary: Perfect Comment: My only regret is that I didn't invest in this sooner. I cook for my family almost daily and this one piece has become the most used pot in my kitchen. The 9 quart size is perfect for a family of six, and allows me to double recipes for leftovers. Customer Rating: Summary: le creuset always wonderful Comment: Got this on a special offer and as always very satisfied with Le Creuset. Well worth the price. Customer Rating: Summary: Our pride and joy Comment: I hate to look back on the days when I didn't own this 9 quart Le Creuset. It's opened up a whole new world in cooking. The first time we used it, we prepared a recipe for chicken cacciatore from Cooks Illustrated (America's Test Kitchen on PBS). It made me feel as though I was ripped off by every restaurant that I had ordered that dish from. We now seek out recipes that call for a french oven. The 9 quart is the perfect size to cook for 6 persons, or even two if you want left overs to bring to work the next day. Now we've become Le Creuset slobs and have the wide 5 quart (it's the shallow of the two 5 quart rounds) that we use for risotto. They say that it was designed for risotto. We also have a 2 quart that we rarely use because of the fact that we want left overs, but it works great for rice, and I mean GREAT. Now we're hemmin and hawin over the 10 1/4 inch cast skillet in carribean blue. We've read so many incredible things about it. Let it be known for anyone that's worried about the heat limitations for the lid knob when used in the oven. Le Creuset just introduced a stainless steel lid knob that can be used for any heat. They put no limitations on the temperature that it can withsatnd, therefore making it better than any other cast iron enamelized french oven. It comes with the screw, and it looks very nice. Customer Rating: Summary: You'll L-O-V-E this pot! Comment: This is my favorite pot. I use it several times a week. Making soups and stews is almost mindless with the predictability of this pot. The heavy lid ensures flavors do not evaporate. This is THE pot for braising a roast, with a little red wine (of course)...or any slow cooking method. If you have never invested in high-end cookware you will be thrilled with this purchase. You will immediately notice an improvement in the quality of food you prepare. It is worth the money! Customer Rating: Summary: Makes cooking an adventure! Comment: My husband and I recently tried a Coq au Vin recipe from the newspaper (as aspiring "foodies", we've been watching cooking shows on PBS and this sounded like an adventure), and I realized we didn't have a Dutch oven, anything that could go from stovetop to oven. My oval roaster does a great job on roasts, but seemed too thin to fry bacon on the stovetop as the recipe called for. After doing research on the web, looking at cookware on the cooking shows and in stores, Le Creuset seemed to be the best quality, as well as the nicest looking, especially the red. For now the 9 qt is a good size for us, big enough to cook alot at a time to make plenty of leftovers, yet not too big to handle (getting it in and out of the kitchen cabinet, washing in the sink, etc. The lid is especially heavy!). The cost was more than I originally wanted to spend, but this seemed like a good investment for cooking anything stovetop, oven, or both. We initiated the pot by making beef stew, which turned out to be quite good, and plenty for the two of us for quite a few meals. Even though there was no stovetop-to-oven capability required, the Le Creuset was still fun to use, and looked pretty sitting on the stove. Cleanup was very easy, no sticking or residue to scrub off as on my roasting pan. We're very happy with our French Dutch oven and look forward to using it for future cooking adventures! More Reviews Serious cooks will get a lifetime of use from this 9-qt. Round Dutch Oven. Ideal for browning and searing in, cooking and re-heating chilis, stew, chowders and for simmering or slow-cooking foods. Secure lid seals in all the moisture and flavor.

Each piece of Le Creuset cast iron cookware is handcast, polished, double enamel-coated and then fired, resulting in some of the finest quality cookware available. Cast iron is one of the best materials for distributing heat gently and thoroughly and is ideal for induction ranges. The strong enamel coating will not absorb odors or flavors, and is easy to clean. Heavy lids securely seal in moisture and flavor. Le Creuset cookware comes in a variety of sizes, colors and styles to match any kitchen and cooking preference. So lasting, you'll pass it on to the next generation of promising cooks. 
Choosing Appliance -> Grater In our opinion, the old fashioned box graters work the best since they are sturdy and offer several different grating sizes. Choosing Appliance -> Spatulas Buy a sturdy stainless spatula for general uses and a Teflon spatula for your non-stick pan. In addition, buy a silicon baking spatula for scraping bowls. Silicon is an amazing substance which is heat resistant up to 550 degrees. Le Creuset Enameled Cast-Iron 9-Quart Round French Oven, Cobalt
