Inspired by the weathered stone, iconic rooftops and morning mist of the French countryside, Château is a soft, atmospheric Le Creuset glaze exclusive to Crate & Barrel. We love the way the understated neutral reveals subtle complexities in different lighting—from pale, airy blue in the mornings to deep and timeless grey late in the day. The durable porcelain enamel coats this oval Dutch oven crafted of heat-retaining, high-performing cast iron. The smooth, shock-resistant finish makes it impervious to acid, alkali, odors and stains. Maintaining consistent heat, the pot has a smooth interior that promotes caramelization and a close-fitting lid that creates a blanket of heat for moist and even cooking. The Dutch oven is compatible with all types of heat sources, from gas and induction stoves to outdoor grills. This generously sized, display-worthy pan is perfect for cooking six to seven servings of French onion soup, farmhouse bread or coq au vin.

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.
