Rating: - Not Iron and Below Usual Le Creuset Quality
I've used it and sent it back. My iron Le Cruset products are great. This one, made of steel and coated with enamel, started chipping on the exterior and interior after only one month of use. I was not impressed.

Rating: - This is a great stockpot! Finally got a good one!
This stockpot is wonderful!. They have a double core inside. They are great for soups and sauces. You cannot cook sauces on high heat or it will burn the bottom. You have to simmer sauces on low or medium heat. I have to use these pots because I have an induction stove and only LeCreuset pots work on my stove. The company is wonderful about replacing the pot if you have a problem. You call their 800 number and get a referral number and send the pot back to their company in South Carolina. LeCrueset is great about replacing their products and are backed by a 101 year warranty. I also have a couple of dutch ovens and a few sauce pans and frying pans. They wash up nicely and are readily easy to clean. The one problem I had with the stock pot (not the one I currently own) was that underneath the handle, rust (the size of a pinhole)(used to leak out of the outside of the pot and run down the pot. I called the company and they replaced it, but the same thing kept happening. The company explained it as heat and expansion. My personal opinion was that this is a manufacturer's defect. (Rust does not look too great when you are serving to company, running down the side of the pot). I sent the defective pots back to them and you can trade up to another pot, which I did. I traded pots I didn't want with them and got pots (another dutch oven) that I could use. I recently reordered the Stockpot here and now I do not have a problem with the holes and rust down the bottom on the stockpot I received from Amazon.com. I finally received a perfect pot!! These pots are great for cooks and chefs and all types of cooking. They are professional pots. Emeril uses them, Martha Stewart, Bobby Flay, etc. I love them and like I stated the 101 year warranty is excellent. By far, the best warranty that anyone ever has. And believe me, I have sent my pots back a couple of times with absolutely no problem with them returning a replacement or the manufacturer giving me a problem.
