Le Creuset Signature 3.5 Qt. Round Wide Oven in Nuit - 21179024129421

Le Creuset 21179024129421 Signature 3.5 Qt. Round Wide Oven in Nuit

The Le Creuset 21179024129421 Signature Round Wide Oven is a 3.5 qt. enameled cast iron wide oven in the Nuit finish, with a broad base that provides room to sear and brown meat and vegetables without crowding. Its cast iron construction distributes and retains heat, while the tight-fitting lid circulates steam and returns moisture to food. Ready to use without seasoning, this 3-4 serving piece works on ceramic, electric, gas and induction cooktops and is safe in the oven or broiler up to 500 degrees F.

Made for braising, roasting, baking and frying, this versatile piece from the Le Creuset cookware collection moves from stove to oven to table for family meals, entertaining, soups and casseroles. Its light-colored smooth interior makes browning and doneness easier to monitor, while the durable, dishwasher-safe enamel supports convenient cleanup after batch cooking or meal prep.

Key Features

Wide Base for Searing and Serving

The broad cooking surface gives meat and vegetables room to make contact with the pan for effective searing and browning instead of crowding. The same wide shape makes it easy to present soups and casseroles directly from the pot at family meals or while entertaining.

Sustained Heat from Enameled Cast Iron

Enameled cast iron delivers the heat distribution and retention needed for steady results across braising, roasting, baking and frying. It supports even cooking over time, whether a recipe stays on the cooktop or continues in the oven.

Steam-Circulating Tight-Fitting Lid

The specially designed lid circulates steam inside the vessel and returns moisture to the food. This moisture management is useful for covered braises, casseroles and other dishes that benefit from retained moisture.

Visible Cooking Progress and Durable Enamel

A smooth, light-colored interior helps you watch browning and doneness as ingredients cook. The easy-to-clean enamel also resists dulling, staining, chipping and cracking to help preserve its finish through regular use.

All-Cooktop Versatility Up to 500 Degrees F

Cook on ceramic, electric, gas or induction heat, then transfer the vessel to the oven or broiler for recipes that begin with a sear and finish by roasting or baking. For cooks selecting pots and pans around several heat sources, that flexibility keeps one vessel in play from the first step through the oven finish.

Ergonomic Stove-to-Table Handling

Ergonomic knobs and handles are shaped for easier lifting between cooking and serving. Its 3.5 qt. capacity serves 3-4, making it useful for family meals, entertaining, batch cooking and advance meal prep.

Ready to Cook and Easy to Clean

Unlike raw cast iron, the enameled surface requires no seasoning before use. After cooking, the quality finish simplifies maintenance, and dishwasher compatibility provides another convenient cleaning option.
