This particular French oven (some might call it a Dutch oven) with its capacity of 6-3/4 quarts is wider and shallower than the classic Le Creuset model. This enables liquid to evaporate more efficiently and results in a more even baking of rice pilaf, risotto, and pasta dishes. Le Creuset suffuses the exterior in the bright, modern color of your choice, while keeping a more neutral tone on the interior to showcase the cuisine. The enamel resists cracking and staining and is best cared for when the contents are stirred with non-metal utensils. It's also so smooth that food particles tend not to stick, making cleaning by hand or in the dishwasher a snap. Made in France, Le Creuset premium cookware brings joie de vivre to any kitchen it graces. --Ann Bieri

Product Reviews
I agree with the other reviews on the quality, beauty etc. I will concentrate my review on the size of this pot as I had a lot of trouble deciding on size when I was making my purchase. Le Creusets are good at many things but IMHO the biggest reason for getting one is for its ability to cook gently and slowly over a longer period of time. This lets the flavors of your dish mix together beautifully and I have found more dimensions of taste when I cook this way. It's also very good for searing meats and then slowly cooking it until it literally falls off the bone. So the reason I got a Le Creuset oven is to make stews, pasta sauces, soups, and roasts. The 6.75 quart, oval oven fulfilled my needs perfectly and I have found this size and shape to be quite versatile. I cook for just my husband and myself, but like many people today we both work so I like to make larger portions and freeze half. This pot will fit a double or even a triple recipe for spaghetti sauces and the like. The oval shape allows a rectangular roast or whole chicken or two smaller hens to fit inside. If you're having friends over for dinner and want to make a bigger roast for 4-8 people, chili for a crowd, etc., this is the perfect size to have. Some people had told me to get a round one if I do mostly stove top cooking, in order to have more even heat distribution from the round burner. I have found that the heat distributes very evenly on the oval shape, so I prefer the oval because it is a better shape for roasts. Assuming you already have other pots and pans, and are looking to finally add a Le Creuset to your kitchen, IMO this is a very good size/shape to have.
