Every Good Cook Should Own At Least One
Since the early 1920's Le Creuset has been doing it right. Making some of the worlds finest and most versatile cookware. For most anyone who loves to cook owning a Le Creuset enamel pot should be an essential.
These pots retain an even heat like no other and regardless of what you're preparing the results are exceptional. There's an old adage which I find to be true and that's the food you prepare is only as good as the ingredients you use and cookware used to prepare it. Along side of quality knives - or at the very least one high quality chef knife - a Le Creuset pot will reward you over and over again with a lifetime of durable and always impressive performance.

I have used this oval oven to bake bread, sear meat, make stew and soups, bake meat, make mac and cheese, and bake au gratin potatoes. It is just so darn versatile!
My favorite use is currently baking bread, since I have discovered no-knead bread is perfect for this piece. I was slightly concerned because no knead bread bakes at a very high temperature, higher than the recommended temp for the knob on the lid, but I called customer service and they said many people bake it at high temps with no issues, and also that I could purchase a stainless steel knob for high temperature baking, which I have done (getting it on the lid is a breeze.)
