Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Le Creuset Enameled Cast-Iron 2-Quart Heart Casserole, Red
Customer Review: A Bad Investment
Summary: 2 Stars
It was red. It was cute. It was lead-free and exactly the right size. I was like toad when he saw the motor car--I had to have it. One click, and it was mine: smooth, shiny, and European-made. And now for the reasons I consider the pan a bad investment:
* I spent a lot of money on a pan that can break--and I know that because I broke a Le Creuset pan in half even though it only fell a very short distance.
* The interior needs to be babied--and I've been doing that with this pan since I scratched and chipped my previous Le Creuset pans. I find the pan not that easy to clean, even when coated with oil before adding the food.
* One of the excellent qualities of cast iron is that can handle high oven temps--not this pan, I had to pay extra for a stainless steel knob so I could cook at 450.
* The walls of the pan are quite thin.
* I doubt that the lid of the pan seals well.
* And now the major reason for the poor review: the hole for the knob screw has rust coming out of it, causing the lid coating to stain!
If size and price are of major importance to you, you might like to look at the seasoned Cajun Dutch Oven in the 2 quart size. You will have to maintain the seasoning, but it it in the $20 range and has no knob hole.
Description of Le Creuset Enameled Cast-Iron 2-Quart Heart Casserole, Red
Nothing says "I love you" like pot roast! Or perhaps Boeuf Bourguignon, or Chicken with Dumplings, even Lobster Bisque? We know there's a strong connection between the stomach and the heart, so cook your sweetheart's favorite dish for that special day. This aptly-designed pot will not only do a great job cooking the feast, it makes a brilliant presentation, and adds a cheery note to your kitchen anytime of year.Le Creuset is famous for coating its heavy, cast-iron cookware with not just one, but two--count 'em, two--layers of enamel baked on at 1,450 degrees F, resulting in gloriously bright colors. This bright-red, heart-shaped casserole adds a note of whimsy to dishes, but its 2-quart capacity, handles, and heavy-duty construction make it practical as well. Both its interior and exterior are enameled--as are the bottoms of all Le Creuset pots and pans--to prevent scratching glass-topped stoves. The enamel surface will not react with any acidic foods and is easy to clean. The weight and nature of cast iron make for even heat distribution. This cookware gives you all the benefits of cast iron without the painstaking care. --Schuyler Ingle
