Le Creuset's signature flame color takes its inspiration from the raw beauty of molten iron being poured from a crucible, or "creuset" in French. Made of enameled cast iron, this handsome Dutch oven is indispensable. Perfect for slow-cooking, braising, searing, roasting or baking, the cast iron lidded pot delivers even and consistent heat. The smooth interior promotes caramelization, resists stains and prevents sticking for easy cleanup. Sized to cook up four to five servings, the Dutch oven is ideal for family dinners or potlucks. Use it for whatever's on the menu, be it stew, roast chicken, bread or stir-fry.
