Peeling after 7 months/ no replacement

I really loved the chambray color and splurged for the Le Creuset stock pot. Disappointingly, after less than 20 uses and seven months after purchase, the enamel is peeling on the inside of the crockpot. Customer Service said no replacement after 30 days. I expected more from Crate and Barrel. I do not think I will be a lifelong shopper at Crate and barrel nor will I be buying more Le Creuset.

Do Not Buy - Enamel Chips - QC Issue

I adore Le Cruset cookware and have many other items from them. I have never experienced quality issues before. The Stockpot however is not well-made, and despite very minimal, light use, has already chipped both on the inside and outside. I don't know when the chips appeared - there was no clear trauma nor extreme temperature change (i.e. boiling hot water to cold water) instances.

Absolutely Horrifying

This is completely horrifying and incredibly disappointing! I was so excited, and I just unpackaged my new Cerise Le Creuset Petite Stockpot and the enamel is flaked off almost entirely on both handles!!! There are thousands of flakes in the pot itself and in the box! The lid screw to the top handle is overtightened and has caused the lid metal to bend or crease. I cannot believe the product I received is even packaged and labelled "Le Creuset" as it is of astonishingly poor quality!!! DO NOT PURCHASE THIS PRODUCT. I will be first in line at my local store tomorrow morning for a return and full refund.

I recently used the Lee pot to prepare soup and it exceeded my expectations! The pot is not only visually appealing with its charming design, but is also highly practical. The size was perfect for making a large batch, and sturdy construction made it easy to handle. The lid fits securely, helping to lock in heat and flavors. Overall, a great addition to my kitchen that's both functional and stylish.

Love the size but Food sticks

I have had this large pot for about a year and although I really wanted to love it, I sadly don't. When I cook anything other than soup in this pot, the food sticks horribly to the bottom. If I cook Sunday Sauce or Chili, to name a few, it will stick to the bottom even with constant stirring. When I make soup, I don't have this issue. For the price, I expected more. Unfortunately, I think I have to finally admit this pot needs to be replaced with something that can cook more than just soup without the food sticking. At least it is easy to clean after use.

Awesome

Poor Quality - Did not last 3 years

I bought this in August 1991. Le Creuset advertises as "heirloom" cookware. It should last longer than 3 years. I take very good care of all of my Le Creuset products. This pot developed a hole that has gone through the pot over time. It was expensive and now unusable. I have other brand cookware that I've had over 30 years and they don't promote themselves as "heirloom" quality. Very disappointed.

Disappointed - Everything Sticks to the Bottom

I'm really disappointed with this stockpot. No matter what I cook - whether it's pasta, rice, or soup - everything sticks to the bottom. At first, I thought my first pot was defective, but after customer service kindly replaced it, the new one has had the same issue. It's frustrating because I've had great experiences with other Le Creuset products, but this stockpot just doesn't live up to the brand's reputation.

Excellent cookware

This stock pot makes cooking pasta quick and yummy. Cleans up easily. Like all my Le Creuset cookware, it’s top notch.

Being a fan of Le Creuset I order this for my collection. It wasn’t a heavy duty stock pot as I expected. It has chipped twice causing rust on the inside. I still use it but make sure to clean rust off before use.

Love this buy

I love my stockpot! Cooking my sauces evenly!

Pot Full of Goodness

What a step up from my old porcelain pot. There's definitely a difference with the even cooking. And what a sale!

I just love my pot. It is just the right size for my pasta

Le Creuset has done it again. This pot heats quickly so if you need to cooking or boil something fairly quickly, this is your new standard. Love the color and design which brings a pop of color into the kitchen. It’s so easy to clean that it doesn’t feel like a chore to do the dishes when I’m done cooking. This will be a staple in our household for years to come.

Waste of money

Stay away from this stockpot. This does not perform at the level that we expect for a Le Creuset product. I have used my pot three times and have it stored in a safe spot where nothing can dang it, I cannot understand how a chip developed on the bottom on the exact spot on both sides - if something minor dinged it and caused this kind of damage that is unacceptable. Le Creuset refuses to stand behind the warranty. This pot is a piece of garbage - not worth the price.

This is a great stockpot except...

This stockpot has become one of my family's go to. Unfortunately, after the first time cooking pasta we discovered a chip on the enamel inside the pot.
