Amazon.com Product Description
This reliable vessel from Le Creuset features the manufacturer's signature combination of cast iron and coated enamel. The piece not only retains and distributes heat evenly; its strong surface resists scratches, stains, and the damaging effects of regular household use. One of eight available sizes, this pot holds 5-1/2 quarts making it perfectly suited to preparing sauces, soups, and stews; sautéing vegetables; or roasting meats. The accompanying round lid fits evenly with its base and traps in moisture to preserve flavor. A black, Phenolic knob centered on its surface resists heating while two loop handles flank the main body and facilitate transport. Although practical in every way, the pot doesn't sacrifice an attractive appearance. Its shiny finish--available in many colors--enables the cookware to transition from stove to tabletop and hold its own as serveware. As a member of the Dune collection, the item marks a departure from Le Creuset's brightly colored pieces by featuring a neutral, sandy hue. The understated color coordinates easily with anything already in the kitchen cupboard. Hand washing is recommended and each Le Creuset cast iron product comes with a lifetime warranty.

Customer Reviews

le creuset
Item was pacakged very well and received within time stated. Would buy from this vendor again.

Lifetime of enjoyment ahead
I've been watching this pot on Amazon ever since Caribbean Blue came out in this size. It's perfect for a medium roast and veggies, soups or stews, etc. It's a deep caribbean blue with traditional beige inside. The pot is approx. 10 1/2 inches across the top opening and 4 1/2 inches deep. Not to big -- not too small. You'll be grabbing this pot for almost everything you do.

rough edges
I was so excited to finally have my Le Creuset pot. When I opened it, the first thing I noticed was how rough the edges of the pot and lid were. For all that money, I expected better craftsmanship.
