Le Creuset Signature Round Wide Dutch Oven, 3.5 Qt.

The Le Creuset Signature Round Wide Dutch Oven, 3.5 Qt. is a lower, wider take on the classic cocotte. You get more base for searing and a shallower pot that is easy to stir, serve from, and lift.

With a 9.4-inch base and 3-inch sides, it sits between a braiser and a standard Dutch oven. That makes it a natural fit for risotto, curries, smaller braises, and one-pot pastas, where you want room to brown and stir without tall walls in the way. It is cast in one piece and enameled inside and out, holds heat evenly, and the lid recirculates steam to keep food moist. It is also a good-looking serving pot for the table.

Available colors: Artichaut, Bleu Riviera, Cerise, Flame, Licorice, Marseille, Nectar, Nuit, Oyster, Sea Salt and White. Choose your color from the options on this page; every color shares the same size, construction, and performance.

It is a great size for couples and small families, or as a second pot alongside a larger Dutch oven. For soups and stocks, a deeper round holds more liquid.

Because the enamel is fused to the cast iron, it needs no seasoning and will not react with acidic ingredients like tomatoes, wine, or citrus. Le Creuset cast iron is also the lightest per quart in the industry, which you will notice every time you lift a full pot.
