My other kitchen workhorse
By C W Breaux
I got my first Le Creuset cookware in 1978. It was my college graduation week, & I was relaxing on the lawn reading the Sunday Boston Globe. I saw an ad for a Le Creuset starter set (French oven + 2 covered saucepans + skillet) for a very low price, so I decided to go for it since I was about to be out of the dorm living on my own. That purchase turned out to be one of my best investments ever, as I still use all the pieces today. I now have 3 French ovens, 5 covered saucepans, 3 skillets, 1 oval au gratin, 1 multi 2-in-1 pan with nonstick omelette cover, 1 rectangular baking pan, & 1 cheese fondue set, all in flame. These cast iron utensils are virtually indestructible, except for a few minor dings in the outer enamel. They cook very evenly, given the cast iron, making me a possibly better than average cook (they're one of my unfair advantages). My only problem with the cookware is the heavy weight, but that comes with the territory with cast iron utensils. I guess I'll have to get someone else to lift the pots when I'm old & decrepit. I know they'll outlive me!
The 2 qt French oven is the other workhorse of my kitchen, in addition to the 4-1/2 qt French oven. Most often, I am making pasta sauce in the smaller French oven while boiling pasta in the larger one. In addition, I use the 2 qt French oven to make smaller batches of soups, gumbo, or stew for when it's just my wife and me for dinner. I use it on top of the stove & in the oven. And then it goes to the table for serving, given its attractiveness.
Don't be put off by the high price of Le Creuset pots & pans. In the long run, they're a bargain because of their long life. I intend to pass mine down to my sons. Bon appetit!

By Patricia Welter
Twenty-five years of hard use, and eight children later, my Lecrueset cookware is still in excellent condition. Now, I am adding some of those special pieces I could never afford. Amazon is wonderful to work with. Not only did I get a very good "buy", but all was delivered promptly and just in time for Christmas. Families grow and grow...and Lecreuset has a size for everything. Thanks so much. Patricia Welter
