Enamel in a creamy blush-purple hue inspired by shallots coats the exterior of this oval Dutch oven, while the smooth interior promotes caramelization and is impervious to acid, alkali, odors and stains. Topped with a stainless steel knob, the close-fitting lid creates a blanket of heat for moist and even cooking. The oval shape and generous capacity are ideal for cooking larger cuts of meat and whole chickens or for baking oval-shaped loaves of bread.
