Excellent soup, stew, or pasta pot

I choose this Stockpot as my first piece of Le Creuset and it is a delight to cook with. During the winter I like to make stews and soups from scratch and don't have much experience with enamel.

This pot is rather light but sturdy and made of steel with a glossy enamel coating (tan on the inside, various colors outside). The finish is flawless and hand washing is reccomended to maintain its luster. The size fits perfectly over my gas burners and distributes heat well to saute vegetables for starting a soup and deglace for completing the recipe. Heat is very evenly distributed and it is a pleasure to clean as the enamel seems to hold up better than teflon to recipes that would cling to stainless steel or aluminum.

Dented lid and pot

The pot and lid both had a small dent in the same area. I debated about returning them, but the dent was small and I didn't want to go throught the hassle. It made me think I should have bought at a local store, since I would have checked the merchandise for dents before purchasing! The pot itself is great. Good looking, great size, performs well. I've made several pots of soup in it and am pleased. I do think it's pretty expensive.

I bought two of these stockpots for Christmas presents. I love mine and thought they would like these.

I love it!!!!

I've made beef stew, and chicken stock, and both came out perfect.

Great pot and a perfect size

I was looking for a universal pot where I can cook soup, pasta and boil a small lobster and this is the perfect pot. It looks great and washes easily. Getting the sticker of the bottom was a pain (why put it on the bottom where the fire is?)... I used an alcohol pad and after some serious rubbing I got it off. Love this new addition to my kitchen :)

Too pretty to put away!!

It's so beautiful, it sits out on my stove!! I love the non stick surface for cooking!!!

would buy again

love this pot nice size for soup

Sticker on bottom...why would you put a sticker on the bottom?...kind of gummy even when removed.

Beautiful piece of cookware

This medium sized pot is perfect for making soups/stews/sauce for a couple or small family. Most everything I've seen was way too large. I am pleased with the quality of this piece and am looking forward to using it alot!

Great Product!

Have always used Le Creuset in the kitchen and will continue to do so. Over the years, I've tried a few pieces from other manufacturers, but none have ever been as good as L/C.

I am very pleased that Le Creuset has produced a product that is light in weight. It is absolutely beautiful. I'm afraid that I haven't used it as yet, but I know that it will perform very well.

The size, color and performance are great. We are soup and stew lovers and we are so happy with this product. No matter what type of soup or stew we prepare, at the end this stockpot washes easily. Thank you Le Creuset and cooking.com

Stockpot Review

I like the pot well. Would have referred a different color but the price was right. It is not something I will use daily but I needed one that size for the holidays when the family is here.I like the weight and it should serve my needs very well.

Very sharp-looking pot

The ONLY reason this didn't get a 5 was that a small piece of paint under one of the handles fell off when I took it out of the box.

Fantastic Pot!

This will be used a lot! For my bean recipes, soups, stews, and other things. Le Creuset is just the best! I bought this on sale, & I am so glad I did.

Carribbean Stockpot

Love this pot!!

I love the color and it is the right size for the smaller meals when one makes a soup or stew.

I bought this for my husband and he loves it!

It's the perfect size for stews, gumbo, soups for the family! Great size, awesome color choices and overall great pot!

awesome stockpot

As a golden age person with arthritis who has found enamel cast iron heavy to handle this pot is an answer to a dream. Thank you for making such a wonderful name brand product available at such an extraordinary price. I liked the 8 qt pot so much i ordered one for my daughter. I look forward to buying additional pots. Thanks again

Beautiful pot!

This Marseille Blu stockpot is a beautiful color and a great price for Le Crucet. The price was right!
