Le Creuset Signature Round Bread Oven 9.5-Inch in Licorice - 21301024000511

Le Creuset 21301024000511 Signature 9.5-Inch Bread Oven with Crucible Knob in Licorice

The Le Creuset Signature Bread Oven 21301024000511 in Licorice takes home baking to the next level of delicious and beautiful. Crafted in France from legendary enameled cast iron, its purpose-built shape combines exceptional heat distribution and retention with the control home bakers need for bakery-quality results. It brings generations of Le Creuset expertise to bread making in a design created for flavorful loaves, beautiful presentation and confident use at home.

Beneath the tight-fitting dome, steam and moisture circulate around the loaf to promote maximum rise, excellent flavor and the crisp texture of a golden crust. The low-profile base uses raised ridges to encourage even browning while leaving the finished loaf with the hallmark Le Creuset three-ring pattern. Its versatility extends beyond bread to sweet or savory baked goods, and the base can also be used on its own as a skillet or roaster.

The porcelain enamel finish requires no seasoning, helps minimize sticking and resists dulling, staining, chipping and cracking. Inside, matte black satin enamel simplifies cleanup and gradually develops a patina that enhances baking performance over time. Ergonomic knobs and handles are shaped for easier lifting, including when bulky oven mitts are needed. Suitable for ceramic, electric, gas and induction stovetops as well as oven and broiler use, this two-piece Bread Oven pairs durable cast iron craftsmanship with the everyday convenience needed to bake like an expert at home.

Footnotes:

¹ Constant dishwashing may dull the enamel finish; hand washing is recommended.

Handles, lid and knob become hot. Use a dry, heat-resistant hand protector, and use caution when removing the lid because steam may be released.

Use low to medium heat and never use maximum or high heat for preheating or cooking. Allow the cookware to heat and cool gradually; never fill or plunge hot cookware into cold water.

For broiler use, leave at least 2 in between the heat source and the top rim. Place the product on an oven rack, never directly on the oven floor.

Never use in a microwave or on unregulated heat sources such as outdoor grills, open fires or pizza ovens. On glass-topped cooktops and other surfaces, always lift the product rather than sliding it.

Stop using the product if the interior enamel chips, as chipped enamel may cause injury if ingested.
