This pot is just wonderful!
My husband claims everytime I use Le Creuset the meals just come out perfect so, as you can imagine I'm using them everyday now. I am a "Happy Homemaker" and I take the job of creating tasty meals to heart even though I am only cooking for two (my husband and myself). If you love anyone get this pot for them, if you enjoy cooking get this pot for yourself! I also have the 5 1/2 French oven and the 2 3/4 oven as well and all of them are used daily... they can take on fried chicken or a delicate wine sauce and still look perfect when the job is done not to mention serving up the meal... Just beautiful sitting on the table! And clean up? FORGET ABOUT IT! Cleans like a dream come true, you won't believe until you do it yourself. Makes me want to cook right now... maybe I will.
For your sake don't waste time and money on the "cheap stuff" pay a decent price now and have it for life.

For rice, is nice, Aug 1 2005

I got this thing specifically to do rice, and it has been incredible. You can always find a 'deal' on something else but the Le Creuset line is incredible.

Outstanding quality and style, Dec 16 2007

This review is from: Le Creuset Enameled Cast-Iron 2-Quart Round French Oven (Red) (Kitchen)
We ventured hesitantly into the world of high-end cookware, but we were not disappointed. This product gets near daily use in our home, and we've had it now for almost two years. It looks like it arrived yesterday. Great quality, fantastic workmanship, and beautiful to boot. It's a combination that's hard to beat. We're very satisfied with this pot - the only downside is that now I'm compelled to buy more!
*** January 2010 Update *** Now it's been almost 5 years since we bought this product. We can't recommend it highly enough. I have noticed some minor brown scarring on the bottom of the inside enamel, but it in no way affects performance and frankly, I rather think it gives it character. We've since added the 5 1/2 quart version (same color) because we so often wanted to use the 2 quart but it wasn't quite big enough. Now both get frequent use.
I know it seems ridiculous to spend $100 or $200 for a pot, but this is truly something that you will hand down to your kids and which simply makes better tasting food. Love it.
*** January 2012 Update *** So in keeping with what has become an every two years practice, I just wanted to update the reader that my feelings regarding this extraordinary product remain entirely unchanged. We actually picked up the 5 1/2 quart saucepan, too, and I'm pleased to say Le Cruset is the BEST.
