Perfectly proportioned for preparing one-pot meals, this wide-bottomed, cast iron sauteuse oven braises short ribs, simmers risotto and bakes bread. Topped with a gold knob and clad in a fresh cream hue you'll find only at Crate and Barrel, the enamelled pan boasts a non-reactive, sand-hued interior that resists stains, prevents sticking and encourages caramelization. Strong handles provide a sturdy grip as you transfer the lidded sauteuse from stovetop to oven to table, where it offers a timeless presentation of roasted vegetable couscous, coconut curry and mushroom pot pie.

Revered by both professional chefs and home cooks since its 1925 debut, Le Creuset's classic French cast iron cookware is prized for its utilitarian good looks, unsurpassed heat retention.
