Le Creuset 21177030795511 Signature 9 Qt. Round Dutch Oven With Brushed Stainless Steel Knob in Artichaut

The iconic Le Creuset Signature Round Dutch Oven is an indispensable kitchen companion for home cooks and professional chefs alike. The 9 Qt. Artichaut model 21177030795511 serves nine and offers the everyday versatility to move from slow-cooking and braising to roasting, baking and frying. Reach for it to prepare beef stew, no-knead bread, roast or fried chicken, soups, stews and mashed potatoes in cookware designed to travel naturally from stove to oven to table.

Individually crafted in France by skilled artisans from fine materials, this enameled cast iron Dutch oven reflects Le Creuset craftsmanship. Its perfected design distributes heat evenly and retains it exceptionally well, helping lock moisture and flavor into every recipe. The closely fitted lid supports tender, flavorful results, while the generous capacity makes the pot a practical choice for family meals and larger gatherings.

Vibrant porcelain enamel gives the Artichaut Dutch oven enduring color and eliminates the preparation required by traditional raw cast iron. Its smooth, light-colored interior makes it easier to follow browning and cooking progress, minimizes sticking and supports simple cleanup. Wide loop handles and an ergonomic knob help make lifting more comfortable, including when oven mitts are needed. Compatible with ceramic, electric, gas and induction cooktops as well as the oven and broiler, this versatile piece is built for generations of cooking and is the lightest weight cast iron by quart on the market.
