Key Features
7.25 Qt. Capacity for 7-8 Servings
The generous round interior is suited to family-size recipes, from soups, stews and mashed potatoes to roast chicken and no-knead bread. Its capacity supports larger batches without limiting the cookware to one technique.
Even Heat Distribution and Retention
Enameled cast iron spreads warmth across the cooking surface and holds temperature through long braises, slow simmers, roasting, baking or frying. For recipes that begin on the cooktop and finish in the oven, this Dutch oven cookware keeps the process in one vessel from start to finish.
Moisture-Circulating Tight-Fitting Lid
As steam rises, the fitted lid circulates it and returns moisture to the food. That design supports the moist environment needed for slow-cooked stews, braised dishes and roast chicken while helping retain flavor.
Ready-to-Use, Durable Enamel
No seasoning is required before the first recipe. The colorful porcelain enamel helps minimize sticking and is designed to resist dulling, staining, chipping and cracking, while the light-colored smooth interior makes it easier to monitor cooking progress.
Secure Lifting from Stove to Table
Wide loop handles leave room for oven mitts, and the ergonomic knob supports a secure grip when checking the lid. This practical design helps when moving a full 7.25 qt. vessel between the cooktop, oven and table.
All-Cooktop Versatility and 500 Degrees F Oven Use
Use the Dutch oven on ceramic, electric, gas or induction cooktops, as well as in the oven or under the broiler. For cooks selecting versatile cookware, that compatibility reduces the need to transfer food between pans.
French Artisan Craftsmanship Since 1925
Crafted in France by artisans, the Signature Round Dutch Oven reflects Le Creuset's century of colorful enameled cast iron production. The Nuit finish brings the brand's color-focused design to an everyday piece used by home cooks and professional chefs.
