you need this: le creuset enamel 7.25 quart dutch oven
So, if you follow me on instagram at all (@_lindsayeats_); you know i rep le creuset on the regular. Not for any formal reason, but because it is one of my most oft used pieces of kitchen equipment. I love my le creuset.
It’s the perfect vessel for low and slow braising, soup making, and roasting.
And, here’s the thing. I know the price tag is intimidating, but no other brand elevates your cooking to the next level, like this one does. And here’s the thing… it comes with a lifetime guarantee… And, lest you think that is just lip service, let me just tell you…
I got my first large ( because you have to get 7 quarts minimum or you aren’t really fully utilizing the beauty of this dutch oven unless you can do all the things in it) dutch oven, over 20 years ago, at the palm springs le creuset outlets from a gift certificate my mom gave me for my birthday… i wouldn’t have pulled the trigger otherwise. But oh, how glad i am i did.
About 10 years ago, my well used and loved dutch oven started pitting in the internal enamel… no fault of my own. I never even put it in the dishwasher, even though it explicitly says you can. I don’t know why it happened or the reason, but it did.
I went on the website filled out a form, printed out a shipping label, sent my pitted le creuset in to headquarters, and voila… less than two weeks later they sent me out a brand-spanking new replacement. You guys! For le creuset… lifetime guarantee, actually means lifetime guarantee. You buy one pot, and if it ever has an issue or fails to perform they replace it, no questions asked, no hassle. This is the only dutch oven you will ever have to purchase. Once. And, only once.
It’s made, and meant, to last a lifetime, and is truly one of the most important pieces of kitchen equipment you will ever have in your arsenal.
