Le Creuset Signature Round Dutch Oven, 9 Qt.

The Le Creuset Signature Round Dutch Oven, 9 Qt. is built for big batches: holiday braises, double recipes of chili, stock, or a whole bird with vegetables tucked around it.

An 11.8-inch base gives you real searing room, so you can brown a large roast or several pounds of short ribs in fewer batches. The enameled cast iron holds heat steadily for hours, and the heavy lid recirculates steam to keep long-cooked meats moist. Oversized loop handles help when the pot is full, and the light interior shows you exactly how the fond is developing before you deglaze.

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

This size is for cooks who feed a crowd or batch-cook for the week. For everyday family meals, the 5.5 Qt. or 7.25 Qt. is easier to handle and store.

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.
