Le Creuset 21177028795511 Signature 7.25 Qt. Round Dutch Oven With Brushed Stainless Steel Crucible Knob in Artichaut

The iconic Le Creuset Signature Round Dutch Oven in Artichaut, model 21177028795511, brings the everyday versatility prized by home cooks and professional chefs to a generous 7.25 qt. capacity that serves 7-8. Reach for it to slow-cook, braise, roast, bake or fry, whether the menu calls for beef stew, no-knead bread, roast chicken, fried chicken, soups and stews or mashed potatoes. Its timeless round shape moves naturally through a wide range of recipes and cooking techniques.

The enameled cast iron spreads heat across the cooking surface and retains it throughout the cooking process, while the tight-fitting lid circulates steam and returns moisture to the food. A light-colored, smooth interior makes it easier to watch browning and follow cooking progress, helping deliver flavorful results from stove to oven to table.

Designed for generations of durability, the vibrant porcelain enamel is ready to use without seasoning and helps minimize sticking for more approachable cooking and cleanup. Its durable finish resists dulling, staining, chipping and cracking, while wide loop handles and an ergonomic knob support a secure, comfortable lift, including when oven mitts are worn. Suitable for ceramic, electric, gas and induction cooktops as well as oven and broiler use, this Artichaut Dutch oven combines proven cast iron performance with beautiful color for cooking, serving and gathering around the table.

• 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.
