Make the perfect batch of rice and grains every time with the Le Creuset Traditional Rice Pot 21312018060511 in Cerise. Crafted from legendary enameled cast iron, this 2.25 qt. pot delivers the heat distribution and retention needed for controlled, even cooking. Its capacity serves 2-3, making it a practical choice for preparing everyday portions while giving home cooks the precise temperature control that rice and grains require.
The colorful enameled surface brings the classic Le Creuset look to the kitchen while simplifying the cooking process. It arrives ready to use without pre-seasoning, and the finish minimizes sticking and staining. Durable enamel is designed to resist dulling, chipping and cracking, helping the Cerise color retain its appearance through regular use. The non-porous surface can also hold raw or cooked food in the refrigerator or freezer, while dishwasher-safe care makes cleanup more convenient.
Versatility extends beyond the rice pot's primary role. It is compatible with ceramic, electric, gas and induction cooktops, and it can move to the oven or broiler with oven-safe performance up to 500 degrees F. Ergonomic handles support easier lifting, and its cast iron construction is the lightest weight by quart on the market. Made in France, the pot reflects a tradition of colorful enameled cast iron cookware crafted by French artisans from quality materials since 1925. Those thoughtful details bring together durable materials, practical handling and a design intended to improve both cooking and final results.

Footnotes:
Before first use, remove all packaging materials, clips, labels and stickers, then wash the pot in warm, soapy water, rinse and dry thoroughly.
Use low to medium heat and allow the pot to heat and cool gradually. Never use it in a microwave or on an outdoor grill, open fire or pizza oven. Always lift it on glass-topped cooktops rather than sliding it.
Use dry, heat-resistant hand protection when the pot is hot, and use caution when removing the lid because steam may be released. Stop using the pot immediately if the interior enamel chips.
