Review of Le Creuset Enameled Steel 6-qt. Stock Pot with Lid

I bought this pot to replace a beloved enameled cookpotthat had seen better days. My old pot was cheap, but saw daily use for eight years. I was looking for something colorful and solidly made that didn't weigh a ton. It needed to be "friendly" enough to handle daily, and be nice enough to leave on the cooktop. This stockpot is fantastic. The happy color and the weight is just right--it really is a beauty. Everything-soup, pasta, rice-has turned out famously in this pot. Clean up is a snap; even stuck on pasta comes right off after a 5 minute soak. On one occasion, some soup stock became burned onto the outside and underside if the pot and it cleaned right off with a gentle scrubbing using anon-abrasive scrub sponge. The higher profile helps prevent boil-overs and is roomy without being a monster. In addition, it looks great left out on the cooktop!

I noticed some reviewers were disappointed to see the origin of the pot, but I don't think the qualityhas been compromised. I have never used or owned a French made Le Creuset product because the price has always been out of my reach, so perhaps there are quality nuances that I am unfamiliar with. I am happy to be able to have such a fine cookpot at a price I could manage, and look forward to many years and many meals with mycheerynew stockpot.
