8 Quart Enamel on Steel Stockpot with Lid
Product details
Web ID: 12428209Do 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.

So dependable and long lasting
Ive had mine for maybe 2 decades now. Love it; it's dependable and sturdy.

Awesome
So much to say about how much I love this pot. I own the 5 quart Dutch oven but it just wasn't big enough to use for making pasta sauce. The thing I like most about the stock pot is that it's the same quality as the Dutch oven inside but not heavy as heavy. My sauce cooked evenly and none burned to the bottom like cheaper stock pots. The 8 quart was the right size too. I know they say that 1 quart is equal to one serving but this pot held a lot of ingredients - 15 tomatoes, 3 bell peppers, 3 zucchinis, 2 onions, 3 jars sauce and 2 lbs of meat - just to give you an idea of the size (not recipe :). Wish I could afford an entire pantry of Le Creuset but will settle for once in a while.

Liquid spatters through sides of lid when simmering
The lid appears to be designed to light in weight in that when you simmer something it rattles and let liquid spatter all over the stove top.
