Amazon.com Product Description
This reliable vessel from Le Creuset features the manufacturer's signature combination of cast iron and coated enamel. The piece not only retains and distributes heat evenly; its strong surface resists scratches, stains, and the damaging effects of regular household use. One of eight available sizes, this pot holds a generous 7-1/4 quarts making it perfectly suited to preparing soups and stews, sautéing vegetables, or roasting meats. The accompanying round lid fits evenly with its base and traps in moisture to preserve flavor. A black, phenolic knob centered on its surface resists heating while two loop handles flank the main body and facilitate transport. Although practical in every way, the pot doesn't sacrifice an attractive appearance. Its shiny finish--available in many colors--enables the cookware to transition from stove to tabletop and hold its own as serveware. As a member of the Dune collection, the item marks a departure from Le Creuset's brightly colored pieces by featuring a neutral, sandy hue. The understated color coordinates easily with anything already in the kitchen cupboard. Hand washing is recommended and each Le Creuset cast iron product comes with a lifetime warranty.

Customer Reviews

love it, love it, love it
This is my favorite piece of cook wear hands down. I love cooking stews, chili, soup, sauces. I have used it to slow cook meal in oven. I wish it wasn't so expensive as I would buy more if I could. Love the color!

Form and Function
Add ingredients, cover and apply heat. Can't get much simpler can it? About the same as saying have brush, apply paint and spread on canvas. What this french oven gives you is the proper tool to create. There are several copies of this French Oven that sell for less. However, this pot started it all and I don't see a reason to mess with perfection.
