Le Creuset 21181016795511 Signature 1.75 Qt. Saucepan With Brushed Stainless Steel Crucible Knob in Artichaut

The Le Creuset Signature Round Saucepan 21181016795511 is a compact 1.75 qt. enameled cast iron staple for everyday cooking in Artichaut. Sized for 1-2 servings, it moves easily among sauces, side dishes, grains, poaching, simmering and reheating. Reach for it when preparing wild rice, fondue, glazed carrots, gravy or caramel, whether the recipe stays on the cooktop or finishes in the oven.

Le Creuset has individually made its enameled cast iron cookware in France with French artisans since 1925. That heritage comes through in a durable design created for strong heat retention and stove-to-oven-to-table versatility. The cast iron distributes and holds heat for steady cooking, while the light-colored interior makes it easier to follow a sauce, reduction or simmer as it develops. A close-fitting lid supports covered cooking by circulating steam and returning moisture to the food.

The saucepan's smoothly curved interior and rounded base suit frequent stirring and the gradual reduction of liquids. When it is time to change cooking surfaces or serve at the table, the extended helper handle, contoured main handle, ergonomic knob and wide loop handle offer multiple comfortable points of control, including a secure grip with oven mitts. It works with ceramic, electric, gas and induction cooktops and is oven-safe to 500°F. The porcelain enamel needs no seasoning, helps minimize sticking and provides an easy-to-clean surface. Finished in Le Creuset's Artichaut color, this versatile saucepan brings dependable cast iron performance from preparation through presentation.
