Revered by both professional chefs and home cooks since its 1925 debut, Le Creuset's classic French cookware is prized for its utilitarian good looks and unsurpassed heat retention. In a fresh cream color you'll find only at Crate and Barrel, our cast deep Dutch oven is impervious to acid, alkali, odors and stains (no seasoning required). The generously sized pot is perfect for soups and stews, and because of its depth is less prone to boil-overs or splatters. A smooth interior promotes caramelization and is impervious to acid, alkali, odors and stains. Topped with a gleaming gold-finished knob, the close-fitting lid creates a blanket of heat for moist and even cooking.Revered by both professional chefs and home cooks since its 1925 debut, Le Creuset's classic French cookware is prized for its utilitarian beauty and unsurpassed heat retention.Cast iron with enamel finish.
