Never tried one but there are other good brands out there - Staub, and a few others. I do think the better brands hold up well over time - I've had my Le Creuset for 25 years.

I have Lemongrass. I love it. If I had to do it over, Carribean blue.

Kiwi green 4 quart and white 6 quart. No problem with white and gas range mentioned by previous poster. But then again I never blast the heat when I use Le Creuset...kinda does against the concept of these pieces. BTW they clean up beautifully with Bar Keeper's Friend.

Blue. My husband got me an entire set about 8 years ago. I adore them.

I love the colors and because of that plus the durability, I want to jump on the Le Creuset bandwagon.

My only concern is how heavy they are. I have a really bad back and worry about taking such a heavy pan fully of very hot food (which only makes it heavier obviously) out of a hot oven that's low down will kill my back. I envision food spilling, burning my feet, the dish breaking, etc. Thoughts?

I also want to know if one of these is worth putting on my Christmas list (yes I give DH a list of possible gifts to get me, it makes my Christmas much happier).

I have two pieces in Caribbean and still love the color. But I can see myself getting some complimentary colors, maybe Flame or Citrus. Love them!

They are worth it. I have mostly blue. I would be fine with just Le Creuset and my old cast iron pans. All Clad doesn't compare.

What would you say is a good "starter" piece? I am way too cheap to ask for more than one.

Dutch oven all the way! Great for all those winter soups and stews. I use mine several times a week in the winter.

Does anyone else find that Le Creusets heat too fast on gas flame and hold the heat too intensely and make it more likely that food gets scorched? I have the navy blue dutch oven and never use it for this reason. Food just gets burned to a crisp if I put anything in it at the temp the recipe calls for.

Mine all came from Marshall's so they weren't that expensive. I use my sauce pan and my Dutch Oven most frequently but I also have a 10 inch fry pan which is great for eggs and pancakes. I don't like to use non-stick and the Le Creuset requires very little oil.

A Dutch oven. Great for simmering chili, and you can make a soup or stew in it and finish it in the oven (I do beef stew this way) in the same pot.

I have one in eggplant. I splurged on it, but stupidly got one that is huge. Hence, I've never used it. Dumb. But it is very pretty.
