I just got my pot last week and used it yesterday for the first time. The hype is all TRUE! It really DOES make you a better cook. I made up some left over veggies into a quick soup. I started with a whole onion chopped into some melted butter in the pot. After they had sweated a little, I added zucchini, carrots, and cabbage. I let these all cook in butter for about 10 minutes until they had wilted a little, but were still crisp. I couldn't believe that I didn't need to add any water - the veggies cooked in their own water. After they were done, I added some water, olive oil, celtic sea salt, ground black pepper, onion powder, and some cooked somen (noodles). I was sure I would need to do more to make such a simple soup flavorful, but when I took a sip of the broth I was positively blown away. It was so complex and rich! How could something so simple, taste so lovely? It was my lovely blue le creuset soup pot working its magic.

I don't have a tripped out kitchen, I don't collect housewares, and I am not a mad cook - in the kitchen at all hours of the day and night. And I am certainly not rolling in money. However, I finally took the plunge and purchased this pot. Right after I made the order on amazon, I started in with some major anxiety over the price and my budget. However, after using this pot, I have NO qualms whatsoever. It's actually going to save me money by turning simple, inexpensive ingredients into magical tasting, wholesome, nutritious meals.

Who knew a pot could do so much? (french housewives, apparently ;)...)

The negative reviews that mentioned flaws in the enamel: I ordered both this pot and the matching blue 12 inch skillet. Neither has any flaws whatsoever.

Stop debating and get this pot, you won't regret it.
