Le Creuset's signature flame color takes its inspiration from the raw beauty of molten iron being poured from a crucible, or "creuset" in French. Made of cast iron coated with enamel, this large Dutch oven serves a crowd, cooking stews, roasts and soups. Impervious to acid, alkali, odors and stains, the round pot provides unsurpassed heat retention, with a lid that creates an even "blanket" of heat. Compatible with all types of heat sources, from gas and electric stoves, to ceramic and glass cooktops, to induction and halogen, the oven has a larger, easy-to-grip handles and a stainless steel knob on the lid.
