Le Creuset Signature Oval Dutch Oven, 15.5 Qt.

The Le Creuset Signature Oval Dutch Oven, 15.5 Qt. is the showpiece of the line. It holds a holiday turkey, a whole ham, or enough stew for a large gathering, and it goes straight from the oven to the buffet.

A 15.4-inch oval interior fits a turkey or a large brisket lying flat. The enameled cast iron holds steady heat through hours of roasting or braising, and the heavy lid keeps moisture in. Because of its size, it is mostly an oven pot: start the sear across two burners if needed, then let the oven do the work. Large loop handles make a full pot easier to lift, though at this size it is a two-hands-and-mitts job.

Available colors: White, Sea Salt and Flamme Dorée. Choose your color from the options on this page; every color shares the same size, construction, and performance.

This is for serious entertainers and holiday hosts. Check your oven before ordering: it is about 19.5 inches across the handles and 9.1 inches tall with the lid on.

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.
