At the Le Creuset foundry in northern France, molten iron is sand cast from a single mold that’s destroyed after use, explaining why no two pieces are exactly alike. Pots and pans are then painstakingly polished and finished by hand, sprayed with two coats of enamel and fired twice. No other procedure yields cookware that so evenly conducts and retains heat, making Le Creuset enameled cast iron second to none for slow cooking.

Oval French ovens are perfect for slow-cooking soups, stews, sauces and much more. Heavy-duty lids create a solid seal to retain heat and moisture; integrated cast iron handles. Suitable for all heat sources: electric, gas, halogen and induction. Dishwasher safe. Limited lifetime warranty. Made in France.
