The Le Creuset 21178029444511 Signature Oval Dutch Oven in Oyster combines a 5 qt. capacity for 5-6 servings with enameled cast iron that heats evenly and retains heat. Its oval shape accommodates large meats and bread, while the moisture-recirculating lid supports braising and slow-cooking.

Move from roasting and baking to stove-to-table serving with one versatile piece.
Key Features
Even Heating and a Moisture-Recirculating Lid
Cast iron distributes and retains heat to support consistent cooking, whether you are frying on the stovetop or slow-cooking in the oven. For braising and other covered cooking, the lid recirculates moisture inside the pot, complementing the heat-retaining construction.
No-Seasoning Enamel and a Light Interior
The enamel eliminates seasoning from your cookware routine and simplifies cleanup. A light interior helps you monitor food as it cooks, giving you a clear view during preparation. After the meal, dishwasher-safe cleaning is an option.1
5 Qt. Oval Shape for Meats and Bread
Choose the oval form when your cooking calls for large meats or bread. With room for 5-6 servings, the 5 qt. capacity accommodates meals you can braise, roast or bake, then bring to the table in the same cookware.
Induction Compatible and Oven-Safe to 500 Degrees F
Use it for frying on an induction cooktop, then turn to the oven for roasting or baking. The cookware, including its knob, is oven-safe to 500 degrees F. When cooking under the broiler, maintain at least 2 in of clearance and always place the cookware on an oven rack.
Ergonomic Handles for Stove-to-Table Serving
The ergonomic handles help you lift the pot as you move between cooking and serving. A design that emphasizes low weight per quart complements those handles, while the Oyster enamel finish makes the cookware part of your table presentation.
French Craftsmanship Since 1925
Built for multigenerational use, the enameled cast iron design brings durability to everyday cooking. Made in France, it continues Le Creuset's cookware tradition, which began in 1925.

Footnotes:
1 Repeated dishwashing may dull the enamel without impairing cookware function.
Handles, lids and knobs become hot. Use dry heat protection, avoid unattended cooking and take care to prevent steam burns. Stop using cookware with chipped interior enamel.
Do not use in a microwave, on an outdoor grill, over an open fire or with unregulated heat. Match clean burner and base sizes, and keep gas flames beneath the base. Do not place cookware on the oven floor.
Heat and cool gradually using low or medium settings. Avoid thermal shock and never add cold water to hot cookware. Lift rather than slide on glass cooktops.
Before first use, remove packaging, wash, rinse and dry. Use only for food preparation and retain the care instructions. Use heat-resistant utensils; avoid sharp metal tools and impacts to the rim. Tighten loose screws only at room temperature and do not overtighten.
Cool before washing. Use warm soapy water and nonabrasive tools, then rinse and dry completely. Store dry and protect surfaces when stacking.
