The Le Creuset Signature Round Wide Dutch Oven has a broad cooking surface that allows for browning on the stovetop before simmering or braising. The enameled cast iron material provides even heat distribution and retention. The enamel is durable and resistant to dulling, staining, chipping, and cracking. It is ready to use without the need for seasoning. Suitable for cooking ribs, seafood, stews, soups, one pot meals, and casseroles. Ideal for serving 6-7 people.
The interior of the Dutch oven is sand-colored and durable, allowing for easy monitoring of the food as it cooks to prevent burning or sticking. It is safe to use with metal utensils.
The tight-fitting lid of the Dutch oven is designed to circulate steam and retain moisture in the food. It features the Le Creuset Signature copper knob that is oven safe to any temperature.
The enhanced Signature handles are 45% larger, ensuring even weight distribution and making it easier to grip, especially when wearing oven mitts.
The Dutch oven has a 12" diameter and a 4" deep cooking surface. With handles, it measures 15.75" in length, and with the lid and copper knob, it is 6.5" tall. It has a capacity of 6-3/4 quarts and weighs 15 lbs including the lid.
