I can’t think of a single piece of cookware I’ve purchased that I still use nearly 20 years later … aside from my Le Creuset Dutch oven. I stalked this hot orange pot for a long time before finally buying it. At the time, I was writing about beauty and lifestyle products for Parenting magazine and often experimenting with new recipes and old favorites in my kitchen. This pot was a serious splurge for me, and I thought long and hard before I committed to it. Would it be one of those ultimately disappointing purchases from what I thought was a reputable and well-known brand? Keep reading for my Le Creuset Dutch oven review.
When you think of classic, durable cookware, a Le Creuset Dutch oven is probably one of the first things that comes to mind. Made from enameled cast iron, this is a true staple in the kitchen and should last for decades — but if you do encounter a problem, the brand will honor the lifetime warranty. And while this Dutch oven is fairly large and heavy, it will see you through many cooking tasks, including one-pot meals, braises, soups and even baking bread.
As a busy mom of two and a graduate of the French Culinary Institute with years of experience working in restaurants and writing about food and cooking, I truly appreciate that you can accomplish so much with this pot.
