Le Creuset Signature Round Dutch Oven with Crucible Knob, 7.25 Qt.

The Le Creuset Signature Round Dutch Oven, 7.25 Qt. is the size for hosts and leftover lovers. It fits a large chicken, a pork shoulder, or a big pot of soup, with an 11-inch base that gives you real room for browning.

Each pot is cast in one piece and finished in multiple layers of enamel, so it heats evenly and holds that heat through a long braise. The lid stays seated and returns condensation to the food. The sand-colored interior makes it easy to see browning, and the enamel does not react with tomatoes, wine, or citrus the way bare cast iron can. Large loop handles give you a secure grip when the pot is full.

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

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.
