Product Description

Prepare a gourmet meal with this le Creuset 3.5 Quart oval wide French oven that blends colorful design with impeccable functionality and versatility. Made from the iconic enameled cast iron, it is formed in two sand models that are used only once then polished, enameled, and fired twice. This unique production process yields a nonreactive cooking surface that can be used on any type of heat source: from the oven, to the grill, to most stove tops and is induction ready. Heat spreads throughout more evenly and is retained for longer, and the enameled surface requires no seasoning. Perfect for locking in flavor and keeping foods moist and tender, the signature enameled cast iron is made with an exterior that resists chipping and cracking. The lightest weight cast iron per quart, this oval wide French oven is designed to enhance the cooking process by evenly distributing heat and locking in the optimal amount of moisture. The possibilities are endless with this versatile oval wide oven; ideal for making fluffy breads and hearty soups, it is a staple in the kitchen. The French oven includes a lid that traps in heat and moisture for more thorough cooking and full-flavored meals. The lid also features a phenolic knob that can withstand temperatures of up to 500 degrees Fahrenheit. With large helper handles, this enameled cast iron piece is perfect for moving from stove to tabletop for easy serving. With quality in mind, the enameled cast iron is backed by a limited lifetime warranty and it is dishwasher safe for an easy clean up.

Le Creuset vs Lodge: Le Creuset Wins!

Reviewed in the United States on November 3, 2015

Color: CherryVerified Purchase

Le Creuset vs Lodge: Le Creuset Wins!! While this Le Creuset is smaller & cost more than the Lodge dutch oven I previously purchased (200.00 with tax. vs. About 90$), I think it is worth the difference in price, if you can afford it. The Lodge works great - it arrived a little chipped & I discovered after I bought it that it was made in China. If I couldn't afford Le Creuset, I would buy Lodge again, rather than go without a dutch oven. HOWEVER, the Le Creuset is just a hands down superior product. The lids fits perfectly. Perfectly! It came with no chipping, isn't staining, and has no slightly funky weirdness in regards to the black edge. I'm not entirely convinced the Lodge rim has really been finished well - especially in comparison to the Le Creuset. My days of buying kitchen toys are over, I only buy essential workhorses now & am willing to spend on those that will continue to perform like champs until the end of my cooking days. This is well worth the price to me. (Though I expect I'll be searching Marshalls & Tuesday Morning for discounted prices) My next enameled cast iron will be Staub, for comparisons sake, but I really love this in my kitchen!

I've given Le Creuset as gifts but never had one for myself. The Apres Christmas prices were too good to pass up, and I finally pulled the trigger on this little beauty for me. The size and shape are perfect for my every day cooking.

It's wonderful!!! Browned my chicken a beautiful golden brown in no time at all. From stove top to oven to table to dishwasher. How good can you get? Love it, love it, love it.

Does very nicely browning meat & bake in the oven

Reviewed in the United States on May 3, 2015

Bought 2 other round cast iron dutch ovens & finally splurged on this one too. I chose because of the color, oval shape & it was a bit smaller than my other ones. Does very nicely browning meat & bake in the oven. If you can afford the steep price of these, it's worth it.

Great pan, but one disappointment

Reviewed in the United States on January 31, 2016

Color: CherryVerified Purchase

I would have given it 5 stars, but I found out after I bought it and used it that it has cadmium in the outside finish. Yes, it does comply with US standards, but it's a worry--for me. If I'd known before I bought it, I'd have picked a different color. In terms of performance, the pan is awesome and it cleans easily. If I hadn't learned about the cadmium, I would be over the moon about it!

My husband, the chef in our family, loves to use the enameled cast iron ware. I bought him one from Martha Stewart a few years ago, which I noticed recently was scorched on the bottom. I'm told that won't happen with Le Creuset. I'm hoping this piece will last for generations, as advertised. Beautiful blue, too! Love the color choices!

Returned it, and info about the lead and cadmium issue...

Reviewed in the United States on April 7, 2016

Verified Purchase

I don't know what I expected but what I got was not it. For these prices I expected something spectacular that put Lodge to shame. What I got was no better than a Lodge that would be 1/4 of the price. The enamel wasn't as smooth as I expected, the exposed cast iron edges were rough and sharp feeling. The plastic knob looked a little cheap/tacky on a $200+ piece of cookware. I mean, if I am spending this much on a pot can you not put a nicer looking knob on it at least? I had expected it to be so much better than my other cookware, but it really wasn't. Not to mention it arrived with a dark dusty coating on it.

I ordered the "Dune" color because according to Le Creuset, only the Dune and Palm colors are lead and cadmium free. The Dune color was lovely, like a cream or very light beige/tan, solidly uniform in color, not with the dark and light areas show in the photo on Amazon, if that helps anyone decide.

Bottom line, it's a nice enough piece of cookware, minus the tacky looking knob. Is it worth the price? Not for me, but YMMV.

Can't go wrong with Le Creuset.

Reviewed in the United States on March 4, 2016

Color: BlackVerified Purchase

How can you not go wrong with Le Creuset? My wife loves them and I have probably bought her at least 8 pieces from skillets, to pots all cast Iron. they cook really evenly and wash up is easy. My only advice to those not in the know, some of the cast iron from Le Creuset have different knobs on the lid, some stainless and some of a high temp plastic, make sure you check before you buy as if you buy the wrong one the knob on the lid will melt in your oven.

La marmite idéale pour les mijotés familiaux

Reviewed in France on December 29, 2020

Color: FlameVerified Purchase

Cette marmite remplace une marmite en fonte non émaillée dont le fond avait fini par s'effriter faute d'un traitement initial.
Le fond émaillé apporte un confort d'utilisation que j'apprécie.

La taille de cette marmite permet de cuisiner des grandes quantités, un gros chapon de 3 kg par exemple.
La marmite est lourde. Il ne faut pas l'oublier quand on la remplit et qu'on doit la déplacer sur une plaque. Ma mère a du mal à la déplacer.
Par ailleurs, la forme ovale ne permet pas une cuisson uniforme sur tout le fond quand on n'a que des feux fonds. Cependant, la diffusion de la chaleur est telle que cela ne dérange pas.

Le Creuset est la seule marmite (ou toute autre marmite en fonte) qui permet de cuisiner des plats mijotés et de leur donner un goût exquis. Je ne peux m'en passer. Aucune marmite de surpasse celle-ci, même les inox de bonne qualité ne peuvent la surpasser dans le domaine du mijotage.
J'y prépare également des bouillons qui doivent mijoter des heures.
