Le Creuset 21301024129551 Signature Round Bread Oven 9.5-Inch in Nuit

The Le Creuset 21301024129551 Signature 9.5-inch Bread Oven in Nuit is a purpose-built enameled cast iron bread oven that combines exceptional heat distribution and retention with a tight-fitting domed lid, low-profile ridged base and matte black satin interior. Its lid traps and circulates steam to support maximum rise, a crisp crust and excellent flavor, while the base promotes even browning and marks each loaf with Le Creuset's hallmark three rings. This two-piece specialty cookware design requires no seasoning, works with ceramic, electric, gas, halogen and induction heat sources, and is oven-safe up to 500 degrees F.

Key Features

Steam-Circulating Domed Lid

As dough bakes, the tight-fitting dome keeps steam and moisture moving around the loaf instead of letting them escape immediately. This humid baking environment supports maximum rise before the surface sets, then helps create the crisp crust, texture and flavor home bakers expect from bakery-style bread.

Even-Browning Three-Ring Base

Raised ridges on the low-profile base help the underside of a loaf brown evenly and leave it with the Le Creuset three-ring pattern and logo. The shallow profile also makes it easier to shape dough on the base and present the finished loaf after baking.

Enameled Cast Iron Heat Performance

The enameled cast iron construction gives this piece of Le Creuset cookware exceptional heat distribution and retention across the baking surface. The porcelain enamel finish is ready to use without seasoning and is designed to resist dulling, staining, chipping and cracking.

Matte Black Satin Interior

The interior enamel minimizes sticking and simplifies cleanup after baking. With continued use, the matte black satin surface develops a patina that can enhance baking performance over time, allowing the Bread Oven to become better seasoned through regular use without traditional cast iron seasoning.

Two-Piece Baking Versatility

Beyond round loaves, the vessel can prepare sweet or savory baked goods. The low-profile base also works independently as a skillet or roaster, giving the two-piece design a useful role between bread-baking sessions.

Ergonomic Oven Handling

Le Creuset designed the knobs and handles for a secure, comfortable lift, even when bulky oven mitts are needed. That handling matters when moving a hot cast iron lid and base into or out of an oven.
