Le Creuset

Le Creuset Round Dutch Oven.

Some items in our homes come and go, but others stay for years, like a dear friend. This Le Creuset pot is one of my oldest kitchen companions. It has helped me learn to cook and has never judged my 'mistakes.' We've been together for more than twenty years, and it's better than ever—seasoned with flavors and family memories.

Investing in a few good pieces of kitchenware is a smart choice. Quality lasts for decades, and this one pot proves its worth every day. You can make soups, stews, purées, tomato sauce, steamed vegetables, and even boil pasta in it. I have a round and oval size and just keep them on the stove because they're always simmering something.

You can look for a Dutch oven at kitchen stores, online, and at home discount stores. Le Creuset is a brand I have trusted. Made in France, Le Creuset pots are highly durable, with a chip-resistant enameled cast iron.

Having a quality cast iron Dutch oven is worth the investment. It will produce better-tasting food and stand the test of time—maybe even long enough to pass down one day, filled with favorite family recipes. Clean-up is easy with soap and water. If you care for it, this is one pot you will never worry about replacing, and they have excellent customer service if something needs to be repaired.

  • A Real Game Changer

    "We have made a lot of progress over here under your care. We are now all eating from the same “pot” which I was surprised how much my kids loved. They were so excited when I put the food in the middle of the table. They asked for it the next day, Can we do that special fancy dinner thing where we have a feast? It really is such a better ritual—passing the food around and all sharing from the same platter, a real game changer."

  • Accidental Weight Loss!

    “I don't know if I told you, but I accidentally lost about 8 lbs after cutting out most semi-processed foods!"
