Overview
A cast iron lid closes over a deep enameled cast iron pot, so heat and moisture stay in as food cooks on the stove or in the oven. Le Creuset finishes this round Signature pot in a Flame color.
Enameled cast iron suits long, slow cooking and moves from burner to oven in one piece. The limitation is weight, since the pot is heavy to lift when full.
Who it's for
A kitchen where stews, braises and oven cooking happen often suits this pot, and the enamel works on the stove and in the oven. Anyone who struggles with heavy cookware should look at a lighter pot.
Pros and cons
- Enameled cast iron
- Cast iron lid
- Stove and oven safe
- Limited lifetime warranty
- Heavy when full
- Induction not listed
- Lid knob temperature limit not listed
Performance notes
Cast iron stores heat and releases it evenly, so a braise stays at a steady temperature, and the enamel prevents the food from touching bare iron. A tight cast iron lid retains moisture during long cooking. The pot works on the stove and in the oven.
