I think this pan is amazing. I did my research before spending so much money was it heavy yes. Did I want this size yes. When I read reviews on a pan I want to know the pans merits not if someone bought something to small because they did not read the specs. It is unfair to the pan and the people basing a purchase on reviews for someone to give it a bad review because they did not take the time to read the weight and size of the pan. It skews the review of the actual pan for people who have never owned le creuset. Is it a good pan? No its amazing!!!!! If it is not the right size for you that is not the pans fault. That is your fault for not reading the specs. Sorry but all I want to know before buying is is it a good pan.

I wish people would read or pay attention to the description! First, all cast iron is heavy so don’t buy then complain! It also says this is the wide Dutch oven…dimensions are listed. It’s only a 3.5 too!!! Beyond all that, the quality is impeccable and it’s a great starter piece. Use for roasting, braising, soups etc.

This is the best cookware on the planet. I have several pieces in all different sizes, but I have been waiting for this size for a long time. Le Creuset does not offer this often and I was sorry I didn’t snatch it up the last time Le Creuset offered it. That was a big mistake! I have the 3 1/2 wide oval and it is so great, but sometimes you just need a round vessel like when you want to make risotto or for use on top of the stove top. The round ones are a bit easier to fit on the burner to get a more even heat. I use the oval pans more for oven use. I adore the wide bottom on this pan for fitting many pieces of meat and the lower sides for braising. My others that have a wided bottom/footprint also have higher sides and I don’t always want to be cooking in a huge pot. This will be my go to size from now on and will prolly never leave my stove top!

I love le creuset. I wish they would bring back the color palm. I started my collection and now they no longer have the palm color. Should always keep the classics.

I have noticed some of the demonstrations from host and guest host. This really has me thinking, does anyone demonstrating this cookware read the instructions? It clearly states that silicone or silicone tipped utensils be use so as not to scratch the enamel. When your customers watch the demonstrations most are going to mirror what the host or guest host is doing. This cookware is not inexpensive, so your not doing the customer a favor using metal utensils. JUST SAYING

I have 18 pieces of Le Creuset. This piece is so practical that I never take off my stove. Don’t pass it up. You’ll use it every day.

All my Le (pronounced Luh, not Lah) Creuset pots have held up well throughout the years. Food is cooked evenly. Only problem is that I cannot chose one color. QVC has many great colors. I have all colors except green and yellow. Really works on my induction stove.
