Le Creuset Signature Oval Dutch Oven, 6.75 qt. in Flame

An enameled cast iron Dutch oven is ideal for slow cooking, simmering soups and stews, braising and roasting. It’s designed to heat evenly and retain heat, which helps deliver consistent results from stovetop sears to low-and-slow oven cooking.

The oval shape gives you extra room for larger cuts and whole birds, plus more surface area for browning before you braise or roast. It’s also a practical shape when you want to layer ingredients without crowding.

Yes. The Dutch oven is suitable for electric, gas, halogen and induction cooktops, and it’s also broiler, freezer, stovetop and oven-safe to 500°F. That makes it easy to start a recipe on the burner and finish it in the oven.

Yes. The slip-resistant composite knob is heat resistant to 500°F, so you can use it confidently for high-heat oven roasting and covered braises.

The Dutch oven is dishwasher safe, but hand washing is recommended to help keep the enamel looking its best over time. For everyday cleanup, let it cool, wash with mild soap and avoid abrasive tools that could dull the finish.

Each Dutch oven is made in France using a sand-cast process, then polished and finished by hand. It’s coated with enamel and fired twice, and because the mold is destroyed after casting, no two pieces are exactly alike.
