This 4.5 qt. Round Dutch Oven is a great size for oven casseroles or a small pot of beans or soup. Cast Iron is known as the premier cookware for gentle heat distribution and slow cooking. The major drawback has always been the cleaning and seasoning process. Le Creuset has been elegantly solving this problem since 1925. With a double coating of enamel over cast iron, Le Creuset needs no seasoning and the enamel makes clean-up a breeze. In addition, the enamel coating prevents acidic foods from reacting with exposed cast iron and the lead-free enamel will not impart any odor or flavor.

An excellent choice for browning or carmelizing foods, these ovens and their snug fitting lids trap heat while sealing in flavor. The colorful shapes are perfect for the stove top, oven, table and even freezer. The phenolic knobs are heat resistant to 450°F, more than warm enough for this slow cooking method. All Le Creuset ovens go through over 14 steps from handcasting to enamel coating to firing before it is stamped with the Le Creuset signature and guaranteed for a lifetime. Made in France. Dishwasher Safe.
