6 3/4 oval or round le crueset french oven? Hi, I'm buying my husband a 6 3/4 le crueset french oven for xmas but wonder which size is more versatile - oval shape or round?

The general recommendation is round for more stove top use and oval for oven use, as most people have round burners on their stoves it should heat more evenly. I think the oval fits roasts and birds better. I have the oval but I also have a gas stove with a long center burner. Either way you can't go wrong!

I chose the 16" round over the rectangular because I can't make round pizzas bigger than 14" in the rectangular. So, to me, the extra couple inches on the 16" side would have been useless but there are probably other uses that make the rectangular stone a better fit for some people. I suppose it depends on what you like to make with your stone!

I have the 5 quart and have made several loaves of bread in it. The recipe I have calls for 3 cups of flour. Perfect size oven for that size recipe. Haven't had one single loaf of bread stick to the pot. If you might want a larger pot for other cooking, you might prefer the 7 quart, otherwise, as others have said, 5 quart should do. It's a heavy pot, so a 7 might be more awkward to remove from oven.

My apologies. However, this is the only Breville product that I hav rtnd. The pie size was too small for my liking. All the best!

Mine was called 6.5 qt and measures 6.5 qt capacity. I think there has been an item listing for one that describes an 8 qt. I don't know if this is a different French oven or a mistake in the listing

i agree with the other answer. this round wide dutch oven is perfect. so easy to clean and use.

I don't know about a smaller version of this toaster oven, but I saw the same version of this in red in a Fingerhut catalog recently. Personally, I really like the 6-slice version because of the large, round pizza option. I use mine all the time to bake in and am very satisfied with the results. Hope this helps.

Sorry for the delay in answering your question. I bought a pair of 9" round Wilton Performance Pans in 2011 for my Aunt, who decorates cakes. These were tapered, which is not what she wanted. I looked around a little more and found 9" round Wilton Decorator Preferred pans that have straight walls. So you want the Decorator Preferred. What size do you need? It seems that Wilton has discontinued the 9" size.

They fit perfectly, the diameter of the round pans fit exactly within the oven . I'm using the oven as well the pans almost daily. I'm very much happy with the outcome. The food coming out is fantastic.

Hi: We just bought one of these and love it. The circle is 3 1/2 inches across the middle. The crimped edge has elongated dots all around it making a scalloped edge . It would be perfect to make pierogies, except they would be round. We went to a football game and made egg salad, tuna salad and peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and the dough stayed in place. I hope this answeres your question. If you make the pierogies, let me know how they turn out and we will try them for Christmas. Good luck!! PAT

if this will help if you go to your local grocery store and find a 2-3 layer cake its about exactly that size but if would be a perfect fit with a 2 layer cake so its on average the "ROUND" size of your average kitchen plate..Hope that helps...So a three layer cake may squash it but a two layer cake in height would be the PERFECT size ...height wise.

These are oval shaped and not designed for round pies. If you use the bowls it comes with that would be fine, but you can't put them in the oven. You end up needing to make something more like a no bake cheesecake / pudding type. Try looking at some of Wilton's stands.

For using charcoal briquette if you don't want to use wood. I've had mine for a year and have never used the L shaped piece but I plan on trying it this summer.

Sorry I can't be more precise, but I use these 4" pans and 6" pans. The last time I used them I think I got two of each, but bottom crusts only, using a recipe for pate brisee with 2 1/2 cups flour. I use crumb topping instead of a top crust. With the 4" pan a double crust seems like too much crust to fruit ratio. It's OK with the 6" pans which I like better for that reason. If I do make a top crust I usually make a lattice or use cookie cutters and just sort of overlap them. That way there isn't so much crust. Hope this helps.

USA pans are the BEST bakeware pieces I've ever owned. The diameter of the donut well is as described below. You won't regret your purchase at all.

This is a round roasting pan, not oval. The 6 inch rack is too small but will work with some meats. If you can find an 8 inch rack, that should work. If I recall correctly, however, an 8 inch rack isn't too easy to find--perhaps now you'll be able to locate one.

I've been using the 3 cup since my last post. I love it and it is exactly the right size. It is an attractive looking appliance as well. The larger size was just overwhelming and I don't think I would have ever used it to make a cake which was a "tooted" feature. In addition, since I use small proportions, I believe the rice turns out better in a smaller cooker from everything I've read on the net. Perhaps this isn't accurate but I am very happy with my final purchase.
