This is the one I bought, although with a different item number and different price.

I have a Technique enameled cast iron 4 quart? saucepan/pot, where the lid serves double duty as a fry pan. It is good, but I find that I get more use out of my Le Creuset oval dutch oven. I'm not a big meat eater, but I could see where it would be good for whole chickens, turkey breasts, roasts, corn on the cob, etc.

I love it for making soups and cooking spaghetti length pasta. It is easy to clean and very versatile. Right now I made a soup with the following items:

1/2 white onion minced

3 chicken sausages, diced

1/2 red pepper, diced

2 cloves of garlic

a bunch of kale

1/2 package of matchstick carrots

1/2 package of broccoli slaw

2 cups of red lentils

1 box of organic low-sodium chicken broth

1 box of organic roasted red pepper and tomato soup

herbs and spices: paprika, cayenne, pink salt, mixed seasoning blend, all to taste

The space in the pot allows for things like kale to spread out and cook evenly. The heat is retained throughout the pot and it holds its heat for a while.

Do you love your Le Creuset as much as I do? If so, what do you use it for?
