For over 80 years, enameled cast iron has been the foundation of Le Creuset’s product line. Each piece is formed in two sand molds which are used only once and then the sand is recycled. Once removed from the mold the piece is polished and finished by hand, and then enameled and fired twice. The unique production process yields a nonreactive cooking surface that can be used on any type of heat source, including induction and glass top, and can be used in the oven up to 375°F. Heat spreads throughout more evenly and is retained for longer, and the enameled surface requires no seasoning. Whether on the stove, in the oven or on the table, this unmistakable style, quality and durability is sure to be appreciated. Le Cruset enameled cast iron is superior quality cookware that is ready for a lifetime of everyday use and to be passed down by generations of food lovers.

Because heat is distributed slowly and evenly, almost any recipe can be prepared in this Cherry 5-1/2 quart Round French Oven. The tight fitting lid creates a blanket of heat that seals in flavor and moisture while cooking in the oven or on the stove. The versatile shape makes this a go-to piece for preparing any meal and doubles as a beautiful server. This French oven is backed by a manufacturer’s lifetime limited warranty.
