I bought this pot to replace a beloved enameled cookpot that had seen better days. My old pot was cheap, but saw daily use for eight years. I was looking for something colorful and solidly made that didn't weigh a ton. It needed to be "friendly" enough to handle daily, and be nice enough to leave on the cooktop. This stockpot is fantastic. The happy color and the weight is just right--it really is a beauty. Everything-soup, pasta, rice-has turned out famously in this pot.

I bought one of these Le Creuset stock pots about a year ago because I trusted the brand and I love their heavier enameled cast iron products. Unfortunately, in less than a month the enamel had cracked inside and out and has been chipping off ever since.

This was NOT worth the nearly forty dollars I paid for it.

I am a die hard Le Creuset cast iron.But I orderd the enamel on steel stock pot and I must say I stand by this product.I have had my cast iron set for 35 yrs with no problem.The same will be with this pot.

Thank You
