Le Creuset Enameled Cast-Iron 5-Quart Oval Wide Ovens Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Beautiful color, not so heavy that you can't lift it, and it does an amazing job. Braised some lamb shanks and they came out beautifully. I noticed that no steam escaped from between the lid and pan, judging from the results of the lamb, that is a good thing. I was amazed at how easy it was to clean as well. The only thing I'm wondering about is the knob, as it has a temperature range, and I may want to try baking bread in it in a hot oven. I did notice that it is possible to buy a metal knob, which I may do. All in all, a great pan at a great price. Thanks Amazon!

With its functional low-profile design and versatile oval shape, this enameled cast-iron French oven makes a useful addition to any busy kitchen. Its shorter side walls and greater width nicely expose ingredients, facilitate efficient liquid evaporation, and provide a greater surface area for even browning--perfect for a variety of recipes and techniques. Unlike smaller vessels, the 5-quart oven, which measures 9-3/4 by 12-3/5 by 3-1/4 inches, can accommodate whole fish and longer cuts of meat like beef brisket or pork tenderloin.
Made of heavy-duty cast iron, the cookware's colorful, long-lasting exterior enamel resists chipping and cracking, while its durable, nonreactive sand-colored interior enamel offers a smooth surface for cooking and an optimal palette for food presentation. As cast iron is unexcelled for even heat distribution and superior heat retention, and enamel is impervious to acids and odors, the oven browns and cooks food uniformly and gently without hot spots and can be used for marinating, cooking on the stovetop, or finishing in the oven. Two loop cast-iron side handles help ensure a steady grip during transport--even when wearing bulky oven mitts, and the unit's secure-fitting lid locks in heat and moisture while cooking. The lid also comes fitted with a black phenolic knob that withstands an oven's heat up to 350 degrees F. Beautiful enough for the table yet durable enough to outlive its lifetime limited warranty, the multi-purpose French oven can be safely used on any stovetop, including induction, and should be hand washed for best results.
