Le Creuset 21177034060511 Signature 13.25 Qt. Round Dutch Oven With Brushed Stainless Steel Crucible Knob in Cerise

The iconic Le Creuset Signature Round Dutch Oven brings colorful enameled cast iron craftsmanship to home cooks and professional chefs. Individually crafted by French artisans from fine quality materials, model 21177034060511 pairs the vibrant Cerise finish with a generous 13.25 qt capacity designed for 9+ servings. Its everyday versatility makes it a hardworking choice for slow-cooking, braising, roasting, baking and frying, whether the menu calls for beef stew, no-knead bread, roast chicken, soups and stews or mashed potatoes.

At the heart of this French-made cookware is enameled cast iron that delivers superior heat distribution and retention. The material and tight-fitting lid work together as steam circulates and moisture returns to the food, helping braises, roasts and slow-cooked meals emerge flavorful and tender. Compatibility with gas, electric, ceramic and induction cooktops makes it simple to keep a recipe moving. The Dutch oven and knob are also oven-safe up to 500°F, giving cooks the freedom to begin on the stovetop and finish in the oven before bringing the meal to the table.

Practical details support the experience from prep through cleanup. A light-colored, smooth interior makes browning and cooking progress easier to see while helping minimize sticking and staining. The porcelain enamel is designed for generations of durability, resisting dulling, chipping and cracking under proper use, and it arrives ready to cook with no seasoning required. Wide loop handles provide a comfortable grip while wearing oven mitts, and the ergonomic knob and handles are shaped for easier lifting. With generous serving capacity, polished Cerise color and dependable stove-to-table performance, this Le Creuset Dutch oven is made to become a trusted kitchen favorite.
