Le Creuset Stockpot, 8 Qt

This is the stockpot that lives on the back burner all day when there's a pot of broth going — steady heat, no babysitting required.

Le Creuset builds this stockpot from durable carbon steel. It heats quickly, holds that heat evenly across a big batch, and the porcelain enamel coating is non-reactive and resistant to stains and lingering flavors — no seasoning or re-curing required, just wash and go.

It's sized for real batch cooking, not just a stovetop show piece — the finish holds up next to the rest of your cookware, whether that's stainless steel, cast iron, or more Le Creuset pieces on the shelf. At 8 quarts, this size is right for weeknight batches of soup, chili, or a full pound of pasta for a family of four to six, so you're not stuck choosing between a pot that's too small to be useful and one that's too big to lift comfortably.

Q: Is it dishwasher-safe, or hand-wash only?
A: Le Creuset recommends hand-washing to protect the enamel finish and the knob, though light dishwasher use is generally tolerated.
