Ok so how does it cook? Very Well: Very even heat, no hot spots to burn your chowder, it will hold a simmer and come to a quick boil. It has a tight fitting lid that really seals in the heat. It is oven safe and the slopped sides make it easy to stir ingredients in to the broth without loosing them in a corner.
Easy to clean, well, really, VERY easy to clean. And I LOVE the red color. I find NOTHING other than cost and weight to criticize but let us face it: one gets what one pays for and this is a lifetime pot, your lifetime, your kid's lifetime, you r grandkids lifetime. Moreover, considering it is a pot and a Nautilus in one.......

First let me say that I would not have bought this kind of high-end cookware had Amazon not made me an offer I couldn't refuse. I actually bought this on a whim thinking that if it wasn't anything special, then it goes into the church rummage sale.The maiden voyage dish was a pot roast with vegetables. Okay, so it wasn't soup, but what a great roast. I browned the meat as usual, drained the fat, added the veggies and liquid. The whole thing went into the oven, cover and all. I served the meal from the stylish pot with rave reviews on all the components. Since then I have made soups and stews. It really holds up to slow stove-top cooking also.
Clean up? The enamel coating makes everything slide off with hot soapy water and a little nylon scubby. What more could you ask for? Okay, someone to come and actually do the cooking and clean up. But if you don't have the luxury of a personal chef, get this pot. I actually think of it as a potential heirloom to be passed on to my daughter. It is a little pricy, but worth the splurge.
Hey Amazon, make me a few more offers on Le Creuset cookware and I'll buy. Thanks from the bottom of my pot.
Best Deals for Le Creuset Soup Pot with Cover
This is a wonderful all-purpose pot. I use it for a multitude of purposes:1. Making sauces for pastas and then adding the pasta to the sauce and tossing. The curved sides make it perfect for the quick and easy blending of shrimp scampi with lemon spaghetti for example.
2. Stir-fry. The sloping sides and great heat retention make stir-fry a natural.
3. Casseroles Easy clean up and a comfortable size make this a wonderful casserole pot.
4. Reheating the large surface area makes this the pot to go to when reheating almost any main course lamb shanks come to mind immediately.
I find that I use this pot for almost everything except soup. For soup I turn to my handy 5-½ quart Le Creuset Dutch oven. Less surface area means less chance to slop over when stirring. I had the 7-½ quart soup pot and gave it away. It was far too much of a space hog on top of the stove. However this pot is neither too large not too small it is just right!
Honest reviews on Le Creuset Soup Pot with Cover
Everything that has been said is true it cooks (everything) beautifully. I've only had one small problem storing the lid upside down on top of the pot will scratch the enamel unless you store it with a towel or waxed paper in between. I'm saving my money to buy a whole set!Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for Le Creuset Soup Pot with Cover
What a distinct pleasure to have this fine Creuset in my kitchen! It was worth every penny and then some. The 4-1/2 quart size is perfect for our small household, perfect for use as a Dutch Oven, and a true Best Buy in the Creuset line.The sloping edges of the pot are my favorite aspect. Or maybe it's the gorgeous variegated "Volcanic Flame!" with the rich vanilla-colored enamel interior. Or maybe it's the smart, competent way it sits atop the stove, ready for any assignment. Spaghetti sauce! Beef stew! Chicken soup!
Solid and enduring pots and pans for the kitchen are always a wise investment; and this one, this one in particular, was love at first sight.
Hallelujah.
