Overview

A holiday kitchen feeding a crowd is where this large Le Creuset Dutch oven earns its keep. Enameled cast iron holds steady heat for long braises, a domed lid recirculates moisture, and the sand colored interior makes it easy to watch browning.

Huge capacity handles whole birds, big batches of stew and stock for gatherings. The light interior helps you see fond develop. At this size it is very heavy when full, and the listing does not give a weight.

Who it's for

Large families, frequent hosts and batch cooks will use the capacity often. Couples and anyone with weak wrists should choose a smaller size.
