Perfect for cooking quinoa, poaching eggs, boiling pasta and making cherry jam, this cast iron saucepan is clad in bright, bold blue enamel, rendering each piece impervious to acid, alkali, odors and stains. Le Creuset's Marseille hue is inspired by the French port city.

The saucepan is compatible with all types of heat sources, including grills and induction stoves.
