Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Le Creuset Enameled Cast-Iron 5-1/2-Quart Round French Oven, Cobalt
Customer Review: Wow... Awesome... But when are you going to get rid of Phenolic handles?
Summary: 4 Stars
Thinner and more temperature-responsive than most ironware, with a very forgiving enamel interior, I have only a little more to say than that I love my 5 1/2 qt. Dutch... Oh, please excuse me, FRENCH oven. Even after turning up the wrong burner with a batch of Channa Masala in the pot, and burning half my tomatoes to the bottom of the pan, cleanup was a snap, and there was no damage to the enamel! My only complaints join legions of others... First, the phenolic handle. Really, Le Creuset, WHY?!?!? And if it's really inert, high-acid dishes shouldn't stain the interior so easily. I have a couple Chantal pots, and NOTHING colors those interiors short of horrible damage to the seal of the glaze. I've been assured this coloration is normal, and healthy, and not a problem, but it still bugs the heck out of me. Yet, food keeps turning out perfect. If there are any negative developments, I will be sure to let all know! I have several pieces of this very special cookware, and have yet to find anything but the above to complain about. Viva la Le Creuset!!!
