I recently went through a similar consideration. Also only buying 1 piece. I wanted more bottom surface area to allow for cooking meat and veggies before adding liquid, so I opted for the regular DO shape. 99% of our meals are just my husband and I, but for the rare occasions that I’d have 4-6 people I wanted more room for more servings. We actually bought a 5.5 qt DO and returned it, unused, to buy a 7.25 qt. No regrets on spending extra to get the extra space. We made or usual “12-serving” chili recipe this past weekend and filled the 7.25qt up to 2” below the rim. I don’t think the 5.5 qt would have accommodated the recipe. As I’ve seen posted here and elsewhere, better to put a smaller recipe in a larger pot…. No regrets for sizing up. So I vote for the 5.5 qt if you don’t want to go larger.

If you are just doing this in a 1- or 2-serving batch, I would recommend the rice pot! 2 quarts & narrow, so should contain schmutz well! More on reddit.com

July 2, 2022What is deep oven best suited for? Or the wide shallow ovens?
The 5.25 qt deep is handy when you're using multiple burners simultaneously because it's got a narrower footprint - 24cm instead of 26cm. So the whole base is under the burner and not hanging over the sides, and the extra height is useful for deep frying and soups, especially. The 3.5 qt wide is equally handy because it has the opposite feature of the deep - its wider base makes it ideal for browning meats and dishes like risotto (and pan sauces) where you're trying to reduce or evaporate off excess liquid as part of the cooking process. The 3.5 wide is also nice as an extra deep baking pan for garlic yeast rolls and cinnamon buns. Hope this helps! #team😈 More on reddit.com

r/LeCreuset on Reddit: First LC Dutch Oven: Deep or Regular?
July 2, 2022 -
Hi! I’m so excited to be making my first Dutch oven purchase and wanted to invest in a Le Creuset. I usually cook for 2 people and occasionally host for 5-6 (once every month or so). I’m looking at the regular 5.5qt vs the 5.25 deep DO. Anyone have both or prefer one over the other for any reason? This is a big investment for me and probably my only LC for years to come.
I braise on occasion, make soups but I’m trying to branch out with cooking. I would appreciate any insights here!! Thank you!
Update: I ended up shelling out the extra $200 and getting the 5.25 Dutch oven instead of the deep. Best decision ever! Such a versatile pot. Thank you all for your input and advice!

Regular for sure if you’re only going to have one. It’s more versatile due to larger surface area.

r/LeCreuset on Reddit: Deep Dutch Oven
December 7, 2023 -
Looking for a gift for my wife's birthday that would solve an annoying problem we have with our current Dutch oven. Our toddler son will eat almost any vegetable, bean, or legume...if they are liquefied into a pasta sauce. We use an immersion blender to mix up a veggie sauce for him in our current Le Creuset Dutch oven when he's in a picky mood, but unfortunately this means a lot of schmutz escapes over the low, 4" sides.
Are there Le Creuset Dutch oven models that have sides over 4"? Maybe closer to 8"? The website seems to prefer measuring in quarts rather than giving specific dimensions, and other retailers provide dimensions for a narrow range of products that don't fit the bill.

They used to have a Deep Dutch Oven but it doesn’t look like it’s listed on the Le Creuset website right now. There are several available second hand and on Amazon, you might find it on another retailers site?

We Tested 22 Dutch Ovens to Find the Best Ones for Stews, Braises, and Loads More
November 2, 2017 - We first reviewed Dutch ovens in 2017 and have constantly re-tested and used our favorites ever since. After recently re-testing 22 of them, and running them through a series of rigorous tests, I found eight versatile options for every budget. ... With wide-looped handles, tough-as-nails enamel, and a broad searing surface, it was no surprise our longtime winner from Le Creuset came out on top again. It’s quick to heat, gets a deep, burnished crust on meats, and the sturdy enamel fends off dings and scratches.

November 19, 2025 - What we love: In terms of craftsmanship and price, Staub’s Dutch oven, which the brand calls a “cocotte,” runs neck and neck with the ubiquitous Le Creuset we’ve been recommending for years. Both are premium enameled cast-iron round Dutch ovens with high-quality chip-resistant enamel, and both heat and sear evenly.
