Clad in a smooth, glass-like enamel finish in a French-inspired shade of blue, Le Creuset's generously sized Dutch oven provides all the wonderful qualities of cast-iron cooking. Impervious to acid, alkali, odors and stains, the 9-quart pot's non-reactive cooking surface does not require any seasoning and is compatible with all types of stovetops. Le Creuset has been making classic French cookware since 1925 and is prized by both professional and home cooks.
