Inspired by California's olive groves, the sunbathed green enamel that coats this Dutch oven glows with a hint of invigorating yellow. The warmly hued pot is indispensable for slow-cooking, braising, searing, roasting and baking. The round cast iron oven maintains even and consistent heat and has a smooth interior that promotes caramelization, resists stains and prevents sticking for easy cleanup. Sized to cook seven to eight servings, the display-worthy Dutch oven is ideal for casual weeknight meals and elegant dinners. Use the lidded pot topped with a gold-finished knob for a sprightly spring presentation of whatever's on the menu, including nettle soup, olive bread or apricot cobbler.

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.
