Le Creuset's signature color takes its inspiration from the raw beauty of molten iron being poured from a crucible, or "creuset" in French. Flame-hued enamel coats a cast iron oven that is indispensable for slow-cooking, braising and roasting. The pan's wide, shallow shape browns and sears to perfection, while the large surface area helps reduce sauces quickly. Cast iron maintains even and consistent heat, and the smooth enamel promotes caramelization, resists stains and prevents sticking for easy cleanup. Generously sized to cook six or seven servings, the display-worthy orange Dutch oven goes from stove to oven to table for casual family meals and elegant dinner parties.
