Beautiful enough for the table and durable enough to outlive its lifetime warranty against defects, this heavy pot is perfect for preparing and ceremoniously serving such dishes as choucroute garni and braised lamb shanks. The oval shape suits poultry and thick cuts of meat while providing room for vegetables. Since it's safe on any stovetop, including induction, as well as in the oven, the pot can also be used for soups and chili. Made of cast iron, with both the exterior and interior clad in two coats of Le Creuset's famous bright enamel, the pot holds 3-1/2 quarts, perfect for one- and two-person households. Cast iron is unexcelled at heat distribution and retention and enamel is impervious to acids and odors, so the pot cooks food evenly and gently without hot spots and can even be used for marinating and baking. It's also dishwasher-safe. The pot's heavy, tight-fitting lid has a synthetic knob that's ovenproof to 450 degrees F. Like all Le Creuset cast-iron cookware, the pot is hand cast in a one-of-a-kind sand mold and is hand finished at the Le Creuset factory in France. --Fred Brack

Product Description

Since 1925, Le Creuset has been handcrafting Enameled Cast Iron cookware, and particularly Round French Ovens (or Dutch Ovens), in Northern France. While this popular shape has been around for many centuries before that, the basic design has changed very little thus endorsing the cooking qualities that it provides. Generation after generation has come to cherish the Le Creuset Round French Oven's quality, durability, and versatility, and it easily becomes the core piece in any well-equipped kitchen. The cast iron provides superb heat retention and distribution, and the enamel is hard-wearing and non-reactive, making the number of recipes that you can do in this pot endless: anything from savory rice to braised chicken to mouth-watering cake. Your imagination is the only limit!.

This review is from: Le Creuset Enameled Cast-Iron 3-1/2-Quart Oval French Oven, Flame (Kitchen)

Great buy and great price. I purchase all of my LeCrusetts from Amazon. Great for long boiling foods, excellent as a dutch oven. Just a great pot! I own all three sizes and I would not trade them for anything! Easy to clean up, and the food cooks evenly! Great for soups, stews, casseroles, etc. I use them in the oven as a roaster for chicken, beef roast, and casseroles! I use them on top of the stove for everything! You can't go wrong! They last forever!
