Le Creuset 7 1/4-Quart Round French Oven: Cobalt Blue

This round French oven is known as "the everyday pot" for its multifaceted uses: baking, broiling, braising, sauteing or marinating. It's also "the everywhere pot" because it serves equally well on the stovetop, in the oven, on the table, or in the refrigerator or freezer. The 7 1/4 -quart size is large enough for 10 to 12 servings of beef bourguignon, stuffed peppers or your favorite chicken-and-rice casserole. The tight-fitting lid traps steam to self-baste foods. The mainstay of French chefs for nearly a century, Le Creuset cookware features bold and bright colors in a variety of shapes and sizes to suit any culinary need and home dcor. Each enameled cast iron cookware piece is skillfully finished by hand. Dishwasher-safe, but hand-washing is recommended. Made in France. 7 1/4 Quart capacity. 13 lbs. 11 1/2" Dia. x 7"H.
