Le Creuset Signature Round Bread Oven 9.5-Inch in Cerise - 21301024060511

Le Creuset 21301024060511 Signature 9.5-Inch Bread Oven with Crucible Knob in Cerise

The Le Creuset Signature Bread Oven 21301024060511 in Cerise takes home baking to a more delicious and beautiful level. Purpose-built for bread, this two-piece enameled cast iron oven brings the heat performance of Le Creuset cookware to loaves and other sweet or savory baked goods. Its cast iron construction distributes and holds heat exceptionally well, surrounding dough with the steady warmth needed to turn carefully prepared recipes into bakery-quality results at home.

At the heart of the design is a tight-fitting domed lid that keeps steam and moisture circulating as the dough bakes. That enclosed environment encourages maximum rise, excellent flavor and the satisfying texture of a golden, crispy crust. Beneath the loaf, the low-profile base promotes even browning, while raised ridges leave the finished bread with the hallmark Le Creuset three-ring pattern for a presentation as memorable as the flavor.

Thoughtful details make the Bread Oven easy to enjoy from preparation through cleanup. The porcelain enamel finish needs no seasoning, minimizes sticking and is made to resist dulling, staining, chipping and cracking. Inside, matte black satin enamel is non-porous and easy to maintain, and it develops a patina over time that can enhance baking performance. Ergonomic handles and the lid knob provide a confident grip even when bulky oven mitts are required. Beyond bread, the removable base can serve as a skillet or roaster, expanding its usefulness for everyday cooking. Suitable for common cooktops, including induction, as well as oven and broiler use, this French-made Bread Oven reflects the colorful enameled cast iron craftsmanship Le Creuset has developed since 1925.

Footnotes:

Read and retain all care and use instructions, and use the product only for food preparation. Before first use, remove all packaging and labels, then wash, rinse and dry thoroughly.

Handles, lid and knob become hot during use. Use a dry, heat-resistant hand protector, never leave the product unattended and lift the lid carefully because escaping steam can cause burns.

Never use in a microwave or on outdoor grills, open fires or pizza ovens. Heat and cool the cookware gradually, use low to medium stovetop heat and place it on an oven rack rather than directly on the oven floor.

Let the product cool to room temperature before cleaning. Use warm soapy water and a soft, non-abrasive sponge or brush; repeated dishwasher cleaning may dull the enamel. Do not use cookware with chipped interior enamel.
