Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

With its elongated, oval shape designed for longer cuts of meat, this 9-1/2-quart enameled cast-iron French oven, which measures 11-1/5 by 16-4/5 by 7-3/5 inches, provides ample space for preparing soups and stews, sauteing vegetables, or roasting family-sized portions of poultry. Even more, the unit's functional profile maximizes convenient side-by-side space--a nice feature when cooking multiple dishes on the stovetop.

Made of heavy-duty cast iron, the cookware's colorful, long-lasting exterior enamel resists chipping and cracking, while its durable, nonreactive sand-colored interior enamel offers a smooth surface for cooking and an optimal palette for food presentation. As cast iron is unexcelled for even heat distribution and superior heat retention, and enamel is impervious to acids and odors, the oven browns and cooks food uniformly and gently without hot spots and can be used for marinating, cooking on the stovetop, or finishing in the oven. Two loop cast-iron side handles help ensure a steady grip during transport--even when wearing bulky oven mitts, and the unit's secure-fitting lid locks in heat and moisture while cooking. The lid also comes fitted with a black phenolic knob that will withstand an oven's heat up to 350 degrees F. Beautiful enough for the table yet durable enough to outlive its lifetime limited warranty, the French oven can be safely used on any stovetop, including induction, and should be hand washed for best results.

OK....Yes, it's expensive and yes, it's so heavy I can barely lift it when it's full.....but, this is what I have wanted forever!

Food stays hot and the clean up is easy. And, you will have this for the rest of your life. I purchased this from Amazon because I needed it right away and they had the best service and the best price.
