Le Creuset Enameled Cast Iron Signature Braiser 5 qt., Flamme Doree

I wanted 1 piece from the 100th Anniversary edition and this is what I chose. 5 quart, as they say you can make a little in a big pot but you can't make a lot in a little pot. I have used it almost every day since receiving. It is on the heavy side but with the handles it seems lighter in weight. I don't care for long handles making the item harder to store. My kitchen is small and I need all the space I can get. You can use it as a true braiser and finish the meal in the oven but I use it more like a frying pan, high sides help when turning food over. Loving the sparkles in the color. Clean- up is a breeze. I wish I had bought Le Creuset earlier in life, I spent too much money over the years for pot and pan sets, these items last forever!

I am very careful with handling all my Le Creuset pots and pans. I have owned this braiser for less than 1year, and already I see chipping on the lip of the braiser. Very disappointed.

Showed up loose in a plastic bag and was broken. Only the product was there; all accessories were missing.
