Pros & Cons
Cons
The label is crooked on the saucepan. The steel knob show scratches and “le creuset’ logo is faded. Subsequent cooking is all sticky unless use a lot of oil more than double i use for my 5 and 7 ply stainless steel saucepans/woks.
Highlights
Quality
Great for making braised dishes--retain heat like crazy and it simmers perfectly evenly.
Construction and finish are absolutely first class and they really perform on the stove top and oven.
5 quart handles easier the one with straight sides and a narrower base.
The shape of the sauteuse i got (love it) really works for me but now i have 2 somewhat similar pieces, both 3.
Price
Le creuset cost a mint but they are worth every penny.
I've always wanted one and got this on sale.
5 which would have been a better size for me and i could have just gotten 1, or 1 plus a much larger size, and saved my $300.
Packaging/appearance
And the black color is really nice--very sharp looking and will match any decor.
I wish it came with the silicon handles as a bundle.
Competitiveness
This isn't a deal breaker for me but was disappointing the colors weren't a closer match.
