Le Creuset 21178031795511 Signature 6.75 Qt. Oval Dutch Oven With Brushed Stainless Steel in Artichaut

The iconic Le Creuset Signature Oval Dutch Oven 21178031795511 brings an indispensable kitchen essential to home cooks and professional chefs in a versatile 6.75-quart size that serves 6-7. Its oval shape is particularly suited to larger cuts of meat, whole chickens and oval-shaped loaves of bread, while its everyday versatility reaches from slow-cooking and braising to roasting, baking and frying. Prepare beef stew, no-knead bread, roast or fried chicken, soups and stews, or mashed potatoes in one enduring piece of cookware finished in Artichaut.

The Le Creuset Cast iron distributes heat across the cooking surface and holds it steadily, helping lock in moisture and flavor as a dish develops. The tight-fitting lid circulates steam and returns moisture to the food, while the light-colored, smooth interior makes it easier to watch browning and cooking progress without lifting ingredients from the pot.

Designed to move confidently from stove to oven to table, this Dutch oven works with ceramic, electric, gas and induction cooktops as well as the oven and broiler. It is oven-safe up to 500°F, including the knob. The vibrant porcelain enamel is ready to use without seasoning, minimizes sticking and supports easy cleanup. It also resists dulling, staining, chipping and cracking for lasting beauty. Dishwasher-safe construction adds convenience, although hand washing is recommended, and the ergonomic knob and wide loop handles promote comfortable lifting even when oven mitts are needed.

Footnotes

• Handles, lids and knobs become hot during use; handle them with a dry, heat-resistant protector.
• Do not leave the Dutch oven unattended, and use low to medium heat while allowing it to heat and cool gradually.
• Never use this cookware in a microwave or on an unregulated heat source such as an outdoor grill, open fire or pizza oven.
• Never use the Dutch oven if its interior enamel has chipped.
• Use silicone, wooden or other heat-resistant tools; never use knives or other sharp metal utensils on the enamel cooking surface.
• Cool the cookware to room temperature before cleaning, and never plunge a hot Dutch oven into cold water.
• For broiler use, leave at least 2 in between the heat source and the top rim.
• Lift rather than slide it on glass-topped cooktops and other surfaces.
• Frozen cookware must not be placed directly in a preheated oven. Put it in a cold oven and heat it gradually.
