Le CreusetEnameled Cast Iron Signature Saucepan, 2.25 qt., Cerise

Excellent cooking ware. As advertised.

Love this cookware!

I recently read that some decorator said that no matter what colors you use in your interior decorating, you should have something red in every room--even just a little accent. Couldn't think of anything better for the kitchen than a le Creuset red sauce pan--perfect! By the way--try that something-red-in-every-room thing--it really works.

Liked the Spanish Rice and White Rice

If you have an induction cook top this is the pot for you.

Perfect for mixing the last part of my dummies

I have slowly increased my Le Creuset enameled cast iron line. I like the heat retention and steady cooking. The enamel coating is non-toxic and also keeps too much iron from leaching. The saucepan doesn't disappoint. I've used it a few times already to make small batches of soup, sauce, and to reheat. It's the same construction and dependability as my other pieces and it's actually a decent price for the bigger saucepan with metal knob on the lid. I give it four stars only because, it would be ideal if it had a spout. I think they used to make it with a spout a long time ago but not sure. I make a lot of sauces and this would make it perfect. Still, in no way does this make me like my saucepan any less. It would just be a very nice perk. I usually keep the lid askew for boiling and sauces to let steam escape so the little lip would also be perfect to keep the lid on and have a small opening for this purpose.

Just right for a meal of vegetables, holds steam good. Just remember it is heavy for those who are getting older. I have a garden and enjoy cooking fresh green beans in this one.
