Review: It's worth it! - If you're like me, you've been eyeing Le Creuset pots for a while. When I saw this one, in the desirable 4.5 quart size, at a reduced price I grabbed one. I had a few Le Creuset pots in a former life and there is nothing as fun to cook with. Aside from their beauty, they seem to make everything taste better. Be aware of a few things however. First, this one in the color Meringue is not a true white. It's very pale beige. Second, be prepared to be amazed at the weight. It's incredibly heavy. And third, it requires some understanding of the limits of high heat. Official Le Creuset Guidance: Le Creuset recommends low to medium heat for most cooking to protect the enamel from thermal shock (rapid temperature changes that can cause crazing, cracking, or chipping). However, they explicitly allow medium-high to high heat in these specific cases: Boiling water (for pasta, vegetables, etc.) Reducing stocks or sauces High heat is fine here only when the pot has a good amount of liquid in it from the start. The liquid helps distribute and buffer the heat evenly. Also, never put a hot pan into cold or cool water, always let it cool at room temperature first. Finally don't use any metal utensils on it. The lovely enamel coating needs to always be handled gently. No immersion blenders or metal whisks should be used. I purchased some silicone ladles and spatulas to use with this. So if you're ready to bring your cooking to a new height of pleasure, and have saved up enough funds, I recommend this gorgeous pot. It makes a great gift, and can last several lifetimes. Review: My wife loves the hibiscus color - I picked one of these up in 5.5 quart because we needed to replace a lesser name brand of ceramic pot that was staining very badly. We have a few other Le Creuset pots that we love, so upgrading was an easy choice. I got the hibiscus color because my wife wanted it, and she loves it. We have become accustomed to the high quality of Le Creuset and really like these pots. ## Features - Enameled cast iron delivers superior heat distribution and retention - Ready to use, requires no seasoning - Easy-to-clean and durable enamel resists dulling, staining, chipping and cracking - Light colored smooth interior enamel allows easy monitoring of cooking progress - Tight-fitting lids are specially designed to circulate steam and return moisture back to the food.Ergonomic knobs and handles are designed for easy lifting.Stainless steel knob is safe at any oven temperature.Compatible with all cooktops and oven-safe up to 500 F.Safe for dishwasher and metal utensils ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00TH8EK34 | | Best Sellers Rank | #31,591 in Kitchen ( See Top 100 in Kitchen ) #51 in Dutch Ovens | | Brand | LE CREUSET | | Brand Name | LE CREUSET | | Capacity | 5.3 liters | | Color | Marseille | | Colour | Marseille | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 5,020 Reviews | | Finish Type | Enameled | | Finish type | Enameled | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00024147260936 | | Included Components | Dutch Oven | | Is Oven Safe | Yes | | Is the item dishwasher safe? | No | | Item Dimensions | 35.3 x 35.3 x 27.4 centimeters | | Item Dimensions W x H | 26W x 14.4H centimeters | | Item Shape | Round | | Item Type Name | Signaure Enameled Cast Iron Round Dutch Oven | | Item Weight | 5.14 Kilograms | | Lid Material | Cast Iron | | Manufacturer | Le Creuset | | Material | Cast Iron | | Model Number | LS2501-2659SS | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Packs | 1 | | Part Number | LS2501-2659SS | | Product Care Instructions | Dishwasher Safe, Oven Safe, Stove Safe | | Shape | Round | | Temperature Rating | 200 Degrees Celsius | | UPC | 024147260936 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | | With Lid | Yes | ## Product Details - **Brand:** LE CREUSET - **Capacity:** 5.3 Liters - **Colour:** Marseille - **Finish type:** Enameled - **Material:** Cast Iron ## Images ![Le Creuset Enameled Cast Iron Signature Round Dutch Oven, 5.5 qt., Marseille - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71CoOUEDvZL.jpg) ![Le Creuset Enameled Cast Iron Signature Round Dutch Oven, 5.5 qt., Marseille - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71TM-A4FpBL.jpg) ![Le Creuset Enameled Cast Iron Signature Round Dutch Oven, 5.5 qt., Marseille - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61BvmvPAWGL.jpg) ![Le Creuset Enameled Cast Iron Signature Round Dutch Oven, 5.5 qt., Marseille - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/918QVAeNLxL.jpg) ![Le Creuset Enameled Cast Iron Signature Round Dutch Oven, 5.5 qt., Marseille - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91ep0p3KliL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color, Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Does the lid seal tight?** A: The lid is fitted, but specifically designed to not seal. The weight of the lid would be dangerous if too much pressure built up under it so it is made to allow some steam to escape. **Q: Can I put it in dishwasher?** A: Hand wash recommended. I would never put it in dishwasher to maintain the quality of the pot. **Q: Is 7.25 round Dutch oven heavy??? I have arthritis in my hands so I am debating about this.** A: Yes, this is pretty heavy cookware. The pot and lid together weigh over 13 pounds, and then of course significantly more when there is food inside. **Q: Is staining more of a problem with white than it would be with a darker color?** A: I personally don't think so....the sand color is pretty light as well. I have both colors and they get equally stained if I'm not careful. I guess the trick is to clean the pot well so that you avoid any permanent staining. A little bit of BKF powder and they always stay stain-free for me. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ It's worth it! *by A***N on 29 March 2026* If you're like me, you've been eyeing Le Creuset pots for a while.
