For the 2 of us we use the 5.25 quart deep one a lot, as well as the 4 and 5 qt. round ones.  We also use the grill pans often both for grilling and baking cornbread (those ridges make great cornbread).

We use the oval 5.5 and 4.5 quart ovens pretty often, plus the round 3.5 quart often. We used to use the large wide round one for parties.

We use the smaller braisers too for chicken and rice dishes and as roasting pans.  We use their spatulas, mugs, silicone pads, tools for non-stick pans, and cream and sugar sets often.  Also some pitchers.

I could no longer handle those big, heavy pots with their contents.  I also don't see where they're necessary for the preparation of good food.

Too heavy for me. I don't own any, but I'm glad that those of you who do, are happy.

@Kachina624 I don't think anybody said they are necessary.

I have several sizes.  Some substitute for the gadget machines that others pay for.  Used my way, the LCs  sub for slow cookers, fry pans, etc.

Most often use 4.5-qt oval dutch oven, 3-qt. dutch oven and even the 1.5 qt. saucepan.

This might shock the LC fans, but I  occasionally put the bigger ones in the dishwasher to save time, after a soak and rub-out with Dawn liquid.  If the interiors begin to look a little bad, I just add some white vinegar mixed with water, let sit a few minutes, then  rub out any debris  and put in dishwasher. 

Believe me, it works but probably violates the "LC Religion of cookware care".

This is one of my most favorite LC pieces-- 2.75 quart  (I think)..........now showing a photo of it  but not in my color, which is a dark burgundy red.

My Braisers get used the most.

@Sooner    You'd never know it wasn't from listening to the sales pitch.  If not, what the point?
