Le Creuset Enameled Cast-Iron 9-Quart Round Dutch Oven in Flame - Premium French Oven for Braising, Baking & Slow Cooking - Perfect for Soups, Stews, Bread & Family Meals

Designed to accommodate full roasts and whole fowl, this large 9-quart round French oven comes in handy when cooking for a crowd or preparing recipes that call for oversized ingredients. The heavy cast-iron cookware provides a colorful, long-lasting exterior enamel that resists chipping and cracking, plus a durable, nonreactive sand-colored interior enamel that offers a smooth surface for cooking and an optimal palette for food presentation. As cast iron is unexcelled for even heat distribution and superior heat retention, and enamel is impervious to acids and odors, the oven browns and cooks food uniformly and gently without hot spots and can be used for marinating, cooking on the stovetop, or finishing in the oven. Two loop cast-iron side handles help ensure a steady grip during transport--even when wearing bulky oven mitts, and the unit's secure-fitting lid locks in heat and moisture while cooking. The lid also comes fitted with a black phenolic knob that's oven-safe up to 350 degrees F. Beautiful enough for the table yet durable enough to outlive its lifetime limited warranty, the French oven can be safely used on any stovetop, including induction, and should be hand washed for best results.
