Customer Review: Great sized pot for cooking brown rice and grains
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this pot because I already owned a 3 1/2 quart Le Creuset dutch oven and wanted something smaller for cooking brown rice and steel cut oats. At first I had trouble with the small footprint of the pot--the rice didn't cook in the allotted time--but then realized that if I increased the heat setting a little higher than I had used for the larger sized dutch oven, the rice and oats cooked perfectly. I do have a glass top cook stove so this probably isn't an issue for those of you with gas hobs. The Le Creuset is perfect for cooking brown rice--just the right softness, no sticking, no hot spots, no burning on the bottom. I have tried cooking brown rice in lots of different types of pots, microwaved, and pressure-cooked; I believe that cooking rice in a Le Creuset is the best method. The lid fits perfectly so that no steam escapes and the rice steams gently. Haven't compared it yet to a neuro-fuzzy logic rice cooker but then there are different pros and cons to cooking rice in a rice cooker vs on the stove.
Description of Le Creuset Apple Oven 2-1/4qt. - Fruit Green 2520-02-71
Le Creuset 2 1/4 Qt Apple Oven, Kiwi The hand-finished craftsmanship and superior quality of Le Creuset enameled cast iron have long made it the cookware considered by many to be the finest in the world. Bold colors, timeless design and its singular performance - from oven to stovetop to table - make it a welcome part of any kitchen. Extremely heat efficient and works on any cooking surface.Shaped like an apple, this charming lidded oven comes from Le Creuset's Garden Collection. Made in France in the traditional sand-casting method, the rugged cast-iron pan is coated with hard porcelain enamel that resists chipping, staining, and odor absorption. Two handles facilitate safe carrying from the oven to the table, where the dish picturesquely serves apple crumble, baked apples, macaroni-and-cheese, and plenty more. Le Creuset enameled cast iron safely melts butter on the stovetop, browns under the broiler, marinates meats, and freezes leftovers. The phenolic lid knob is oven-safe to 375 degrees F.
With a capacity of 2-1/4 quarts, the apple oven comes in a choice of bright exterior colors, with a more neutral tone on the interior. Rounded contours and the smooth enamel coating mean food particles tend not to stick, making cleaning by hand or in the dishwasher a snap. Enjoy choosing matching or coordinating colors for your Le Creuset baking pans, pie dishes, French ovens, and more. Each is covered by a lifetime limited warranty against defects, whether you bought the item yourself or received it as a gift. --Ann Bieri
