Le Creuset 21177030060511 Signature 9 Qt. Round Dutch Oven With Brushed Stainless Steel Crucible Knob in Cerise
The Le Creuset Signature Round Dutch Oven 21177030060511 in Cerise brings an iconic kitchen essential to home cooks and professional chefs alike. Its 9 qt. capacity serves 9+ and provides room for generous batches, from beef stew and mashed potatoes to roast chicken and no-knead bread. This enameled cast iron Dutch oven pairs enduring materials with a vibrant presence suited to cooking and serving.
Versatility is at the center of the design. Use it for slow cooking, braising, roasting, baking or frying, moving a recipe from stovetop to oven and then directly to the table. The cast iron body manages and holds heat for steady performance, while the close-fitting lid circulates steam and sends moisture back into the food. That combination helps protect flavor and moisture through long simmers and roasts, yet remains equally useful for soups, fried chicken and other everyday favorites.
Porcelain enamel makes the cookware immediately practical and keeps maintenance straightforward. The light-colored, smooth interior offers a clear view of food as it cooks, while the finished surface helps reduce sticking and is engineered to resist dulling, staining, chipping and cracking. Wide loop handles and an ergonomic knob support a confident grip, even when oven mitts are needed. Compatible with ceramic, electric, gas and induction cooktops, as well as oven and broiler use, this large-capacity Dutch oven is built to take on an expansive range of kitchen tasks. Both the vessel and knob are oven-safe to 500°F, and the cookware is dishwasher-safe for convenient cleanup.
