Le Creuset Signature Deep Round Dutch Oven, 6.5 Qt.

The Le Creuset Signature Deep Round Dutch Oven, 6.5 Qt. takes the familiar round cocotte and adds height. The taller walls give you a full extra quart over the 5.5 Qt. round while keeping the same 10.2-inch footprint, so it still fits a standard burner.

That extra depth is the point. Tall sides contain splatter when you shallow-fry chicken, give a stockpot-style volume for soups and chili, and reduce boil-overs when you are cooking pasta or beans. The heavy lid traps steam and returns it to the food, which keeps braises moist over long, low cooking. Because the diameter matches the 5.5 Qt. round, it stores in the same cabinet space and works with the same burner.

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

Choose this if you want more volume without a wider pot. If you mostly brown large roasts, a wider pot like the 7.25 Qt. round gives more searing surface.

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.
