Product Review - Le Creuset Enameled Cast Iron 5 Quart Oval French Oven

Most people are reluctant to buy an expensive cookware and most of the times it's for a good reason. Some expensive cookwares don't live up to expectations and two or three months after you buy it you would already need to look for a replacement. However that won't be true when you choose to buy a cookware from Le Creuset.

The Le Creuset enameled cast iron 5-quart oval French oven is an excellent tool when roasting whole chicken, baking bread, making risotto and simmering soups and stews. The oval shape is excellent when you're cooking long cut of meat or birds.

A 5-quart oven is just the right size for a small family (4 to 5 servings). The oven itself is heavy and made of cast iron with tough enamel coating. Cast iron cookware is well known to spread heat evenly so whenever you're roasting a chicken you can be sure that every inch of it is evenly cooked. Since the iron used to make this oven is pretty thick it can keep the food warm for quite a while. The lid is heavy and fit tightly so it also helps in keeping the heat in along with the flavors and juice.

One of the best things about a Le Creuset French oven is that it's so beautifully made so you can confidently take off the stovetop directly to your dining table.

As for cleaning it up the le Creuset enameled cast iron French oven is just too easy too clean. You can get it done is one wipe or two and every time you clean the oven it comes back as if it's brand new.
