Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Le Creuset 20-Quart Stockpot, BlueCustomer Review: Love it, don't know what others are talking about Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased the same exact pot in the 8-quart capacity for $15 2 months ago but since that size is no longer available I will review this size as it's the same pot.I have used this pot several times and absolutely love it, it's a great STOCKPOT. I've made sauces and soups and a number of other dishes in it and have no complaints; it preforms well each time and it is a very handsome pot.One person said this pot gave off a chemical smell and that the enamel started chipping/melting but they also said they were using it on HIGH HEAT. If you read the instructions it specifically says NOT to use this pot over high heat. Also I am betting that person didn't wash the pot before the first use either. Sometimes when a pot is brand new it is coated with something that must be washed off before using it for the first time -- this could explain the chemical smell they experienced.It pays to read the instructions. Don't blame the pot or Le Creuset, blame it on the incompetent user.As for the other user that is comparing it to their cast iron dutch oven -- this is a STOCKPOT, an enamel-coated stockpot, not a CAST IRON dutch oven. Apples and oranges and you can't compare the two.
