Le Creuset 21181018060511 Signature 2.25 Qt. Round Saucepan With Brushed Stainless Steel Crucible Knob in Cerise

The Le Creuset Signature Round Saucepan 21181018060511 brings a compact 2.25 Qt. kitchen staple to everyday cooking in the brand's vibrant Cerise color. Built for sauces, side dishes, grains, poaching, simmering and reheating, its smoothly curved interior and rounded base help a spoon or whisk move naturally through the pan while liquids reduce. From wild rice and glazed carrots to gravy, caramel and fondue, the contoured main handle and extended helper handle provide confident control as meals move from the kitchen to the table.

Each saucepan is individually crafted in France by artisans, continuing a colorful enameled cast iron tradition Le Creuset began in 1925. The material manages heat with the steadiness needed for stovetop and oven cooking, then offers an attractive presentation for serving. Durable construction supports the repeated rhythms of home cooking, while the Cerise finish brings a classic Le Creuset color to the kitchen. This combination of performance, craftsmanship and color reflects cookware positioned as a trusted favorite for generations.

The smooth, light-colored porcelain enamel helps minimize sticking and gives cooks a clear view of food as it develops. A tight-fitting lid circulates steam and returns moisture to the dish, making the saucepan equally useful for gentle simmering, poaching and reheating. It works on ceramic, electric, gas and induction cooktops and can continue into the oven or under the broiler; this configuration is oven-safe to 500°F. After cooking, the easy-clean enamel simplifies care. Together, the ergonomic knob, contoured handle and wide loop helper handle make this versatile saucepan and lid easier to lift, carry and present.
