Le Creuset ® Signature 5.5-Qt. Cerise Red Enameled Cast Iron Dutch Oven with Gold Knob

In a stunning look made exclusively for Crate and Barrel, this round Dutch oven is crafted of cast iron enameled in cherry red and topped with a gold-finished knob. The smooth, shock-resistant enamel is perfect for roasting, braising and slow cooking. Impervious to acid, alkali, odors and stains and requiring no seasoning, the pan provides unsurpassed heat retention, with a lid that creates an even "blanket" of heat. Compatible with all types of cooktops from gas to induction, the oven boasts easy-to-grip handles that make it easy to move from stovetop to oven to table. Revered by both professional chefs and home cooks since its 1925 debut, Le Creuset's classic French cookware is prized for its utilitarian beauty and unsurpassed heat retention.
