I have one dish and I use it about 3 time a month. But we love casseroles and it is great for that.
We have the Le Creuset dutch oven. I don't cook, but FI does and he uses it all the time. It is actually one of those items that will open you up to a whole new set of possibilities in cooking.
I cook a lot, but almost never use a dutch oven. I think if you are unlikely to use it, I'd leave it off the registry: they are very expensive and take up a lot of room! But Le Crueset does have cookware sets in bright colors that you might get more use out of. ;)
A tiny secret: for about a third of the price of the Le Creuset dutch oven, you can get the Tramontina dutch oven, which America's Test Kitchen rated as a close second in quality behind Le Creuset. Ours is red and we love it.
I love my Le Creuset dutch oven! It's great because it keeps the heat even. Also, you can put it on the range and in the oven. If you don't cook a lot though it's probably not worth the investment.
They are AMAZING! You can make the most delicious stews, roasts, etc. Once I learned some recipes to use with it I fell in love!
One of our pots in our pot set doubled as a dutch oven. Since I don't make stews, roasts, or soups often/ever I was content with that. However, longing for a bit of le creuset we registered for their grill pan (which also has a press for panini's). This satisfied my I-want-something-colorful-but-useful urge.
I'm small but I use my Cousances pot all the time (my mom gave it to me - it's no longer in production and is as good as Le Creuset). I make a lot of soups and stews, but I also use it to saute fried rice, boil pasta, make pasta sauce. It also works for baking round loaves of bread. It's not big enough to cook for a family with leftovers so I'm thrilled that a cousin bought a larger pot / dutch oven. If you cook one great pot is a must-have, but if not they're rather expensive decorations.
YAY! I use my Le Creuset stoneware for everything I do. I have one larger dutch oven on my registry. Other than that I have all kinds of stoneware because I use them every day.
i love love love the Caribbean blue! The dutch ovens are great for making soups and stews!
Le Creuset is fantastic!!!! If you can only get one piece, the dutch oven is it. You can make soups, stews, braise meats, sautee veggies, boil pasta, steam fish and veggies.... there's so much you can do. If you're worried about the weight of the piece, you can always keep it on the stovetop. They're so pretty, I often leave mine out. Over the past few years I've been updating my cookware, and now Le Creuset is all I have. It is pricey, for sure, but it has a lifetime warranty! :)
Le Creuset is a MUST. I inherited one from my mom and I use it at least once a week to make homemade pasta sauce. It can be used for so much more too! Definitely get one!
We use the skillet at least 3 times a week for fish and chicken. We adore it and put a couple of other pieces on our registry.
I looooove my Le Creuset. I use it a lot more in the winter for braising things and making stews. I'm also petite but the bonus in that is that you can make your hubby wash it for you. ;)
we use our dutch oven to cook almost anything and i would say that it gets used at least 3 times a week. we've cooked everything from sloppy joes to pasta to beef bourguignon in it. we have the 5.5 qt round. basically anything that needs a large cooking vessel is good to use the dutch oven for.
we also have the skillet with the panini press which also gets a lot of use in our kitchen.
i wanted to put more on our registry, but we don't have any other place to store them! someday we'll add on an oval oven.
I love my Le Creuset! We registered for the large French Oven, but have a ton of stuff.....ramekins, oval bakers, square bakers, loaf pan, tea kettle....it is beautiful, and holds up to wear so well! We have all Cherry items, and I love it so much that I coordinated the rest of our kitchen around the splash of Cherry. :)

I'm clueless about cooking, but I love colorful, pretttty things, and the Le Creuset dutch ovens are like kitchen couture to me! However, my parents keep saying we'll never use it, because it's so heavy and I'm so petite. Kind of dumb sounding, but maybe they have a point?
Do any of you have a Le Creuset? Do you actually use it? Is it helpful? Let me know! :)
