Le Creuset Saucier 3.5 QT Review by Randall Nortman (USA)

As another reviewer has mentioned, this pot is actually 3.5qt according to the markings cast into it and also the box label. However, unlike the 3.5qt French Oven, it has a single straight pot handle (about 4" long, just fits in the hand) rather than two U-shaped handles, which I think is a little less practical. This thing is heavy on its own, and even heavier when it's full of food, so you really want to be moving it with both hands. Also, if you're going to take advantage of its good looks to serve food directly from the pot, the handle will take up space on the table and increase the chances that somebody will burn themselves on it, especially if it's been in the oven so that the handle is very hot.
Still though, this thing has true Le Creuset quality, meaning that it's great for slow-cooking but can also sear/brown foods at higher heat, which is a critical combination of features for many soups and stews, which call for searing or caramelizing ingredients before the liquid is added, which then deglazes all those great-tasting bits from the browning process into the liquid. Also, this pot will last forever if properly cared for, so consider that when deciding if it is worth the price.
In summary, I bought this particular piece because of a temporary price markdown that made it too good to pass up, but generally speaking, the French Ovens from Le Creuset are a bit more practical because of the handle issue.

Le Creuset Saucier 3.5 QT Review by N. Berube "Nancy" (Kettering, Ohio United States)

The cooking is wonderful. This is my 2nd Le Creuset. I bought this 3.5 quarts with one handle and I regret! With hot food in it, coming out of the oven with your 2 hands on this only handle its heavy! Don't buy it for Gran'Ma she won't like it. I suggest the 2 handles one.

Le Creuset Saucier 3.5 QT Review by K. Curry

I love this pot. Sure it's heavy, and the handle is a bit short, but to me that's part of the charm and individuality of this wonderful pot. I use it several times a week and each time it brings me happiness . . . even if I use it just to boil water for pasta. What more can you ask?

Le Creuset Saucier 3.5 QT::Description

Beautiful enough for the table and durable enough to outlive its lifetime warranty against defects, this heavy, 3-1/2-quart covered saucepan is made of cast iron clad in two coats of Le Creuset's famous hard enamel. As cast iron is unexcelled for heat distribution and retention and enamel is impervious to acids and odors, the pan cooks food evenly and gently without hot spots and can be used for marinating. It goes safely on any stovetop, including induction. The round metal handle tapers at both ends for comfort and is ovenproof to 400 degrees F. Like all Le Creuset cast-iron cookware, the pan was made in France using a one-of-a-kind mold that ensures each piece's uniqueness.
