Review Le Creuset Enameled Cast-Iron 13-1/4-Quart Round French Oven, Cobalt / Le Creuset L2501-3430:Beautiful enough for the table and durable enough to outlive its lifetime warranty against defects, this heavy, round, 13-quart French oven is perfect for preparing and ceremoniously serving dishes like cassoulet and vegetable soup. It's made of cast iron, with both exterior and interior clad in two coats of enamel. As cast iron is unexcelled for heat distribution and retention and enamel is impervious to acids and odors, the oven (or casserole) browns and cooks food uniformly and gently without hot spots and can be used for marinating. It's safe on any stovetop, including induction, and dishwasher-safe. The plastic knob on its heavy, tight-fitting lid is ovenproof to 450 degrees F. Like all Le Creuset cast-iron products, it's hand cast in a one-of-a-kind sand mold and hand finished at the Le Creuset factory in France.

Review All-Clad Copper Core Dutch Oven / All-Clad 6500 SS:The ultimate in beautiful, high-performance cookware, All-Clad's innovative Copper Core collection combines the unexcelled heat conductivity of copper with the easy maintenance of stainless steel. Crafted of a unique five-ply construction, the cookware contains a core of pure copper that spreads heat quickly and evenly across the bottoms of pots and pans and all the way up the sides. Aluminum layers bond the copper to a stainless-steel exterior and a stainless-steel interior. Enhancing the cookware's appearance, a stripe of the copper core elegantly encircles the gleaming, mirror-finish exterior. The interior is highly polished so it's stick- as well as corrosion-resistant. Rolled edges on pots and pans help prevent drips during pouring and ensure tight-fitting lids. This beautiful 5-quart Dutch oven demonstrates why All-Clad's worldwide reputation is unsurpassed-the company makes cookware that is practical as well as beautiful. This pan is perfect for braising veal shanks, baking beans, or slow cooking choucroute under its domed lid. Because the aluminum core extends up the sides, foods cook uniformly, even though the oven is 4-1/4 inches deep (10-3/4 inches in diameter). And because the interior is nonreactive, tomatoes and other acidic foods won't taste metallic. [+]Its polished 18/10 stainless-steel lid and stay-cool loop handles are riveted for strength and won't be harmed by an oven's heat. Hand washing this oven will preserve its jewel-like beauty during the lifetime warranty against defects-and beyond. -Fred Brack Up until now All-Clad's excellent heat conductivity has been a result of an aluminum core. Another metal equally efficient when it comes to conducting heat is copper. All-Clad now has a complete line of copper core stainless steel cookware which uses bonded 5-ply construction to achieve culinary perfection. The copper core is exposed in an attractive band around each piece, adding warmth, color, and authenticity. Unlike pans with an abundance of exposed copper, these pieces clean easily and are lined with durable food-safe stainless steel. Browning, simmering, stewing: these are all tasks well-suited to the Dutch oven. You'll find it works well both atop and inside the oven. The lid gives you the option of cooking with dry or moist heat, whichever your recipe requires.

Review Le Creuset Enameled Cast-Iron 9-Quart Round French Oven, Cobalt / Le Creuset L2501-3030:The beautiful, round French oven is perhaps the most well-known of all Le Creuset cookware. Each is individually sand-cast of rugged cast iron, then clad in two coats of hard, colorful enamel. The result? Cookware so durable it's covered by a lifetime warranty, and so attractive you'll proudly bring it to the table. Cast iron retains and distributes heat evenly, making the pot with its tight-fitting lid especially good for the slow, stovetop simmering of soups and stews. Because the black phenolic lid knob is oven-safe to 400 degrees, the pot and lid can be used to roast meat and potatoes or bake a casserole whose cheesy crust can be browned under the broiler with the lid removed. And, the nonporous enameled pot is handy for marinating meats and storing leftovers in the refrigerator. This large French oven (some might call it a Dutch oven) has a capacity of nine quarts. You'll find this a versatile size for all your baking, roasting, and simmering needs. Le Creuset is known for suffusing the exterior of its products with bright, modern colors, 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 nylon, wood, or silicone 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 Serious cooks will get a lifetime of use from this 9-qt. Round Dutch Oven. Ideal for browning and searing in, cooking and re-heating chilis, stew, chowders and for simmering or slow-cooking foods. Secure lid seals in all the moisture and flavor.

Review All-Clad LTD 7-Quart French Oven / All-Clad 3015:One of All-Clad's most distinctive items, this 7-quart rectangular oven comes with a contoured roasting rack and form-fitting lid. 15"L x 11"W x 6"H. The dramatic contrast of a matte black hard-anodized aluminum exterior and gleaming 18/10 stainless steel interior makes All-Clad LTD look as great as it cooks. A layer of pure aluminum, sandwiched between the anodized exterior and stainless steel, ensures optimum heat conductivity, and the three layers are bonded together for exceptional performance and durability. The smooth exterior won't scratch, chip, or peel, and the cooking surface is nonreactive and stick-resistant. Handles, rivets, and lids are all polished stainless steel; the stick handle stays cool during normal stovetop use, and the lid is contoured for a precision fit that locks in heat and flavor. Oven safe to 500 F. Hand-wash using anodized cleaner. Made in the USA. Distinguished among All-Clad's renowned cookware collections by its stylish, charcoal black, hard-anodized-aluminum exterior, the LTD line provides serious and professional cooks with all the virtues that make All-Clad's worldwide reputation unsurpassed. [+]Key to its high performance is a three-ply, bonded construction. Sandwiched between the exterior and an 18/10 stainless-steel interior lies a thick core of pure aluminum that spreads heat evenly across the bottoms of pots and pans and all the way up the sides. The interior is highly polished, so it's stick- as well as corrosion-resistant. The striking exterior resists scratching, chipping, and peeling. This 7-quart French oven makes clear why All-Clad's LTD cookware is so popular among contemporary cooks. Accompanied by a removable stainless-steel rack, the oven measures 15 inches long by 11 inches wide. The rack raises food 3/4 of an inch above the oven's bottom, so heat can circulate and the food doesn't boil in its own juices. Without the rack, the oven is ideal for braising on the stovetop or in the oven. Because the aluminum core extends up the sides, foods cook uniformly, even though the oven is 3-3/4 inches deep. And because the interior is nonreactive, tomatoes and other acidic foods won't taste metallic. Its lid and stay-cool loop handles are riveted for strength and won't be harmed by an oven's highest heat. LTD cookware carries a lifetime warranty against defects and should be hand washed. -Fred Brack.
