Le Creuset's signature color—a vibrant red-orange hue—takes its inspiration from the raw beauty of molten iron being poured from a crucible, or "creuset" in French. The flame enamel coating is not only beautiful, it resists scratches and stains. This cast iron oven is indispensable for slow-cooking, braising, searing, roasting or baking. The round pot maintains even and consistent heat and has a smooth interior that promotes caramelization and prevents sticking for easy cleanup. Sized to cook two servings, the flame Dutch oven is ideal for casual weeknight meals and elegant dinners. Use the shallow pan for whatever's on the menu, especially recipes with crispy tops such as mac and cheese, tater tot casserole and pear-cranberry crumble.
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.
