Named after the French word for night, the inky blue enamel that coats this sauteuse oven is unique to Crate & Barrel. The wide-bottomed cast iron pan is perfectly proportioned for preparing one-pot meals. Ideal for braising, baking and simmering, the enameled pan boasts a non-reactive interior that resists stains, prevents sticking and encourages caramelization. Strong handles provide a sturdy grip as you transfer the lidded pot from stovetop to oven to table.
