Consumer Reports

CR’s take: The Le Creuset Poele is the newest winner in the stainless steel skillet category. What pushed it over the finish line was an Excellent rating for heating evenness, which means pancakes come out nicely browned. Sautéing was only so-so. The handle stays cool to the touch when you’re cooking and doesn’t get too wobbly over time, scoring Very Good on that test. Some stainless pans are a bit easier to clean, but none are as easy to clean as a nonstick.For more, see our completed stainless steel frying pan ratings.

 Because it is so very non-stick the rounded sides make it almost impossible to get cooked food out of the pan and turn over food in the pan. Somewhere along the line Le Crueset have got the design wrong. Please tell them. and 3

3 things: 1. Very sturdy, well made and extremely non-stick 2. Because it is so very non-stick the rounded sides make it almost impossible to get cooked food out of the pan and turn over food in the pan. Somewhere along the line Le Crueset have got the design wrong

 Please tell them. and 3. Very surprised upon deliver the pan was in the Le Crueset box and only the Le Crueset NO OUTER packaging and it was not even cello taped shut. It could very easily have slipped out in transit

 Very surprised upon deliver the pan was in the Le Crueset box and only the Le Crueset NO OUTER packaging and it was not even cello taped shut. It could very easily have slipped out in transit. Fortunately it appeared OK - just gave it a very good wash before use.

Difficult to get food out

After reading some of the mixed reviews I purchased this pan well worth the £70. I have had it for over a month now the food does not stick to it at all makes perfect omelettes. I look after it has a manufacturer says wipe with a cloth and then spray with oil never been submerged in the water and the non-stick is still amazing in the future I'm thinking of getting a bigger one as well!

Get one! amazing non-stick

The bottom part is smaller, so the frying pan is smaller than the standard size. It is too shallow to cook ..

Too shallow and smaller bottom

 This may even be true - all I’ve been doing is what I consider normal cookery, but if that’s too much for the pan, then it’s not the pan for me. We also have a relatively cheapo non-stick from who knows where (IKEA maybe - it’s too battered and crusty to read) which we’ve had for a lot longer and which we treat in much the same way, and that’s still non-stick. So, bottom line, if you buy The Le Creuset, enjoy it while you can, but don’t expect the romance to last forever.

I bought this pan in October 2013 and it was fine at first. But after two or three years the non-stick had become ineffective, it is very difficult to clean even after a long soaking, and there are now traces of food permanently welded to the surface which I can see no way of removing. This is a pity because it’s a beautifully designed pan and it worked so well in the early days - which presumably accounts for the number of rave reviews. I’m not going to bother testing Le Creuset’s lifetime guarantee, as they’ll undoubtedly tell me I’ve been maltreating it, cooking too hot etc

Great pan at first, but didn’t last.

 I was worried that they would be too heavy, but they are fine, although the deep pan 30cm one does need two hands to carry it full (there is a useful extra carry handle on this one) and tip out the contents. They are very easy to season, and to clean afterwards. I heed the advice to only use medium heat on my ceramic hob when using these pans, and have found that perfectly sufficient. On my last pans the handles were coated with non-stick as well, which deteriorated over time and went too sticky to use any more

 I heed the advice to only use medium heat on my ceramic hob when using these pans, and have found that perfectly sufficient. On my last pans the handles were coated with non-stick as well, which deteriorated over time and went too sticky to use any more. I won't have that problem with the steel riveted handles on the Le Creuset pans, and they go from hob to oven or grill as well, which was the primary reason for choosing them - now I can souffle omelettes under the grill and finish off seared meat in the oven without having to transfer the food into different receptacles. I can highly recommend them

I can highly recommend them.

I replaced my old 3-piece frying pan set with a set of Le Creuset pans in 20, 26, and 30 cm (deep). I was encouraged to do so by the glowing reviews, to which I can add my own. I was worried that they would be too heavy, but they are fine, although the deep pan 30cm one does need two hands to carry it full (there is a useful extra carry handle on this one) and tip out the contents.

Fantastic set and not too heavy

 And of course, as everyone knows, never use metal utensils but I'd go further and say stick to softer plastic or wood and even then don't use excessive force in stirring, scraping, serving etc. Do these things and the pans will last years.

 If your dial goes to 9 (as our AEG does) never cook on more that 7 and back off from that once up to temperature. The warning sign is discolouration. If the surface shows the slightest sign of going brown you're running it too hot and the inevitable loss of performance will follow. We also never use anything more abrasive than a cloth to clean them - no not even a brush

Perfect as long as not used on max heat

  I'm disappointed. How much do you have to spend on a nonstick pan, that does the job it's supposed to do?

  I'm tired of spending £20-£50 yearly on mediocre 'non-stick' pans that really don't last, so after buying a beautiful and high quality pancake pan (for £85!) I had high hopes for this frying pan at £70.  My first experience was frying an egg in a modest amount of olive oil. The egg stuck and where it stuck, there is a small blemish that won't clean off. I was careful to keep the packaging and will be returning it

Save your money, I didn't so you can!

The Lodge Enameled Cast Iron Dutch Oven 6-Quart has been tried and tested and is a fantastic deal. Our main tester has owned this model for over six years, using it for bread baking, soups, stews, roasts, and more. We love the large volume that'll fit bulk soups and feed larger groups; the domed lid also offers more space for large artisan bread loaves. During our tests, it proves to have good temperature regulation, taking longer to heat up than most but losing less heat than others. It's safe up to 500F in an oven and can be thrown in the dishwasher for cleaning.
While we love its price and performance, it is constructed from porcelain glass, which chips more than the enamel on other higher-scoring contenders. During our abuse tests, the handle chipped after ten hits from a metal spoon. That said, little damage was observed in the interior enamel, which is the most important. After six years of testing, our main tester hasn't seen any significant wear and tear but some staining in the white interior, which hasn't affected performance. With careful use, we've had this model for several years, and it does an excellent job of making meals for groups of two to six people. 

If you seek an affordable and high-volume option, the Uno Casa Enameled Cast Iron Dutch Oven 6-Quart should not be missed. Its ample volume is the one we reach for most when making large pots of soup or stew. The domed lid adds additional volume and creates a nice seal to ensure the internal temperature stays consistent. The black interior heats up nicely, braising meats well and resisting burns and stains. Boiling two cups of water took one minute and 54 seconds. Our bread tests yielded a crispy crust and locked in moisture, keeping meats nice and plump. It also comes with three silicone pieces, which are useful when lifting and moving around the kitchen. The price is right, making it an easy choice for those seeking a good value. 
After using it continuously over three months, it didn't stain or become worn down. Overall, it's pretty durable, but we did note a little damage to the handle and around the rim during lid durability testing. At 13 pounds, it also requires a little muscle. Overall, this is a high-volume contender that comes at an affordable price.

The Lodge Enameled is the dutch oven we recommend if you want the best value on a smaller budget. This pot is seriously solid and impressively durable. It's a very functional shape for most things, from bread to stews, and comes in many sizes. Though Lodge recommends handwashing this pan whenever possible, they also rate it safe to throw in your dishwasher in a pinch &#40;double-check your dishwashing fluid!&#41;.
Though it doesn't feel heavier than the rest, the Lodge is an above-average weight. It also holds more of this mass in the pot rather than the lid, adding an extra pound or so &#40;from average&#41; to moving a full, steaming pot of stew from the stove to the table. The Lodge has one of the smallest searing surfaces of any model we tested, which is important if you like to make a lot of recipes that involve searing meats or veggies. Still, if you've got a budget to stick to, the Lodge has no glaring weaknesses and is a solid all-around option.

Creuset doesnt have a great lid, overpriced, great quality, brand name recognition, has better enamel, but thats it.  Lid issue alone is a deal breaker. 

I've been browsing around for an enameled cast iron pot and I've noticed a huge discrepancy in price.  Why is Le Creuset hundreds of dollars but Lodge is not?

I'm less interested in whether someone likes their Le Creuset pieces and more interested to know what makes a good BIFL enameled cast iron. What should I look for? Is there a thickness that is ideal? Are enamels different?  If I'm shopping a vintage store, what visual factors would help me determine if it is a good piece?

Part of this question is also in response to some recent posts referring to teaching what makes something BIFL, and identifying if something is off sound quality. I'm hoping to learn about construction and materials so I'm less price or brand reliant.

Thanks!

Enameled Cast Iron - Is Le Creuset worth it?

 I’ve cooked with Staub, Le Creuset, and Lodge. The only notable difference was price. I’ve had mine for almost a decade, and not a chip or ding on it

Enameled Dutch ovens are one of the most useful pieces of cookware you can own. IMO, Lodge is the way to go. I’ve cooked with Staub, Le Creuset, and Lodge. The only notable difference was price

I'm looking to buy one from the Lodge brand. I don't think I have the heart to spend that much for a Le Creuset... yet. 

I plan on using it almost daily. For basic stuff like making soups, stews, browning meets, boiling etc. For those of you who have a Lodge dutch oven, is it good quality? How many years has yours held up, and how often do you sue it?

Do you think a dutch oven is a good investment?
