Le Creuset's classic white stock pot has a high-profile design that limits evaporation while forcing liquids to bubble through all layers of ingredients, infusing the entire dish with flavor while cooking. Prized for its utilitarian good looks, this classic French cookware assures unsurpassed heat retention, with a tight-fitting lid that creates an even "blanket" of heat and a stainless steel rim around the top edge to prevent chipping and cracking.
