Le Creuset Signature Oval French Oven, 1 qt.

Le Creuset’s iconic French oven is the perfect choice for slow cooking, simmering soups and stews, roasting meats and much more. This oval French oven’s unmatched versatility and superior cooking performance make it an addition to your kitchen that you’ll use every day.

HANDCRAFTED IN FRANCE
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.

THE LE CREUSET LEGEND
Le Creuset legendary cast-iron French ovens are sand-cast, polished and finished by hand, then sprayed with two coats of enamel and fired twice. No other procedure yields cookware that performs as well.

EVENLY CONDUCTS AND RETAINS HEAT
Since Le Creuset’s enameled cast-iron cookware evenly distributes heat, the French oven is perfect for slow cooking everything from soups and sauces to chili and chowder. You can also use your French oven for braising meat, roasting chickens, making classics like beef bourguignon and cassoulet, or even baking a cake!

THE BEST MATERIALS FOR A LIFETIME OF USE
The smooth, long-lasting exterior enamel resists chipping and cracking, while the durable interior sand enamel is engineered to resist staining and dulling. The interior sand enamel is perfect for cooking with moisture, and it’s also the easiest to clean.

DESIGNED TO MAKE COOKING AND SERVING EASIER
A re-engineered lid makes sure it stays securely in place and locks in more flavors and aromas. Built-in lid stabilizers create a no-slide fit, and the slip-resistant composite knob is heat resistant to 500°F. Oversized handles (now 45% larger) provide even weight distribution and a secure grip, so you can transport the pot from stovetop to oven to table—even while wearing oven mitts.
