Surpassed my expectations-a wonderful Dutch Oven December 30, 2006

I researched Dutch Ovens on-line and in several cookware shops. Looked at Le Crueset, Staub, and Emile Henry. With some hesitation I ordered this one from Amazon. I did not believe that a ceramic one would really brown ingredients well the way that braises require. Believe me, it does an excellent job on meat, poultry, and vegetables. I have made Beef Bourguignon and Coq a Vin so far. The pot is a joy to use, the shape and size is perfect, food does not stick or burn as it is cooking, and after cooling and a brief soaking it cleans beautifully. This Dutch Oven is not light weight but is is much lighter than the cast iron ones and I do not need to worry potential rusting or enamel chipping in the future. I expect that you do need to be more careful to avoid sudden temperature changes such as putting a really hot pot on a cold counter. Note that the first one I ordered was not packed well and arrived broken in many pieces. Amazon promptly and courteously sent a new one and a postage free label to send back the broken one. I am sorry to see that Amazon no longer offers this item directly.

As with another reviewer, I also primarily use this for no knead bread, although I have a few old cast-iron dutch oven recipes I am aching to try. I bought this primarily because someone who borrowed my dutch oven failed to clean it properly, and it rusted. I am now in better financial shape and appreciate great kitchen items, so I decided to splurge. I was looking at the Le Creuset line when I came across this beauty. At the same time I was getting into bread baking and I discovered the no-knead method outlined by Jim Lahey in his wonderful book "My Bread". In the book he recommends several options, but the biggest problem with using most enamel covered cast iron pots is that you have to remove the handle, or you risk damaging it during the high temperature baking (475-500F). There were two models I found that would not have this problem. The first was the Kitchenaid cast-iron/enamel with the silicone handle. That is a tough one to find. The second is this beauty. The Emile Henry is made entirely of ceramic, so the heating properties of cast iron are the same, but the weight is essentially half. Also, the handle is formed into the lid during manufacturing making the whole pot ceramic, and capable of handling temperatures well over anything I will bake. The surface is very easy to clean, and it does the no-knead trick well. I hope to return to this review after cooking another dish, but for now, this one is a star. You can't beat the Amazon price either.

I bought this pot specifically to bake no-knead bread in it at very high temperatures. It performs excellently, is much lighter and easier to handle than an equivalent iron pot, cleans like a dream, and I am looking forward to cooking with it as well. It is pricey, but I found it was worth getting it!
Lovely addition to my kitchen! March 19, 2010

Great product August 1, 2010

I got one as a gift two yrs ago, and I love it so much that I use it almost every day. It's very versatile, not as heavy as those cast iron ones by Le Creuset. The handle and the top of the lid don't get hot, so it's easy to remove pot from the stove. The heat conduction is fast and even, the color is warm (feel like having comfort food) and the size is perfect. It's also very easy to clean. So, I bought one now as a shower gift for my future daughter-in-law after I saw the Le Creuset pot on the list of their wedding registry. She has not used it, so she can not make any comments yet. For me, if I see anyone asking for a stewpot on their wedding registry, I would buy this Emile Henry instead, as a gift without any hesitation, especially most retail stores carry products by Le Creuset only, people have no way of knowing and buying Emilie Henry's kitchenware to compare.
Amazon's price is good and delivered before the promised date...it's a great experience.
