This is such an improvement over the standard stainless pots most people have. I love making soups and this is just perfect for that. It is quite heavy, but that's one of the nice things - it's solid! Great purchase - well worth the money!

This is a really good size.
Believe it or not we use some Le Creuset at work and because of the performance quality I bought this particular Dutch oven for my home. I love it. It is so very versatile... I can make soups, stocks, sauces and braise on the stove top or sear and roast meats or birds in my oven (the lid handle is good up to 500 degrees) and it makes a wonderfull rice pot. This is a good size for making a gallon of anything for two to twelve people. I have professional copper cookware at home so my choices of color were limited to "flame" or this...I like the contrast.
Although pricey and heavy (for the "home" cook ;-) you can't go wrong with this piece and the "granite" matches almost any decor. I liked this one so much that I bought an oval 6+ qt. also.
This will be a lifetime investment for you...enjoy
I'ma givin' dis babe 5*z

I received this Le Creuset 4-1/2-Quart Round French Oven as a birthday gift and it is perfect in every way. I cannot recommend enough the overall quality of le Creuset products. They are also very attractive and add enjoyment to all forms of cooking. This particular 4-1/2-Quart Round French Oven is a great size and shape and can be used for a variety of things. It also fits perfectly upon the le Creuset trivet. Other products of similar quality you might try are Global knives and Cuisinart appliances. You won't be disappointed.
