Le Creuset Enamel On Steel Stockpot, 16 qt., Oyster

The description said it heated evenly and that is true! The first use was spaghetti sauce and it didn’t stain or retain the smell of the sauce. I bought it to replace a pot from a different brand and this one did a better job of heating evenly and holding the heat. We love the blue marseille color and even though it’s a bigger pot, we didn’t have to adjust the refrigerator shelf!!! I’m so happy with this purchase.

We discovered Le Creuset cookware many years ago and it has become our favorite. It is durable, cleans easy and lasts a long time. I needed a new Stockpot, our 40 year old got a chip after dropped it. This new one heats water, makes chili, soup and is the right size for making these meals.

We have taken to leaving this pot on our stove full time. It looks great there, bringing a pop of color. You can feed a family the size of my mom's generation with this thing (13 people). We have steamed shell fish, boiled an entire turkey carcass to make stock, and could probably bathe smallish children in it if the need arose.

First of all... I mean it's Le Creuset! It's a sweet stock pot with room for lots of ingredients. Planning on lobster, stew, pasta, soups, chili? The colors it comes in are myriad. A good quality stock pot with a light weight and good cooking qualities.

Arrived quickly, but the box had already been opened and it was for the wrong color pot. The pot was undamaged, but was covered in greasy finger and hand prints. I sent Le Creuset customer support an email and message, but it just loops back around saying it is a un-monitored mailbox. This is my first experience with Le Creuset and probably my last. The pot itself seems very thin and feels cheap. I would not recommend it. I will be returning it.

We used cast iron stockpots but as we got older, they were becoming too heavy. We’ve used this brand many times and are not disappointed. Light enough for us to handle but a much better stockpot than the cheaper brands. We just made a large batch of bean soup today. Stockpot was exceptional. Going to 1 degree this week so homemade soup is perfect.

Very nice pot, but it has stained a bit over time. Still works great but for those that care, it does stain a bit inside
