For years I have wanted a Le Creuset Dutch Oven. I would have it in the cart, then put it back. When I saw Wayfair was selling them, I immediately purchased it. It sat on my stove for 2 days due to buyer's remorse, but finally decided to use it. This pot is PERFECT. Cooks things evenly and keeps things hot for over an hour with no heat. Beautifully made, will definitely last me a lifetime! Worth the purchase! If your hesitant due to the price, think of it as a small investment for the best meals you will make for family for years to come!
