I've never had a pot that simmered like this one simmers. And because it maintains it's temperature longer, I can cook at a lower heat. It sautes chopped vegetables for soup or whatever without browning them, something it is difficult to do in my other pots. I also bought a bottle of the Le Creuset cleaner, and have found it to be needed and easy to use, with great results. This pot is a handsome red addition to the pantry shelf.

i have been looking at these French ovens by Le Creuset for a long time, so finally bought one with my Christmas money. Made a big batch of homemade chicken soup, and loved the way it sauteed the vegetables first, then simmered and not boiled. I ordered the 9 quart for smaller batches of things, and cleared lots of space in my kitchen bookshelf unit, getting rid of all those cookbooks I don't need, and now I can enjoy them every day. Yes they are heavy...I just have to change how I do things a little bit. I know you've been looking at them, too. You know you want one.

Finally a spoon rest that supports the handle of the spoon. Looks good beside the stove, or on the table.

This set is very well made, and the long handles make the cups easy to use. I especially appreciate the 2/3 and 3/4 sizes, which are rare in a measuring cup set.
