Crafted from Enameled Cast Iron
Crafted from our legendary enameled cast iron, the Signature Round Wide Oven has exceptional heat distribution and retention qualities to lock in flavor and keep dishes warm or cold at the table. The light-colored interior enamel has a smooth finish to promote caramelization, and allows easy monitoring of the cooking progress. Easy to clean and dishwasher-safe, the enameled surface minimizes sticking and staining, requires no pre-seasoning, and is easy-to-clean.
Wide Surface Area for Cooking
This purpose-built shape also has a wide surface area similar to a fry or sauté pan for searing and browning meat and vegetables without crowding. This means you can get a perfect golden-brown sear on meat, and then use the fond on the bottom of the pan to make a delicious sauce right in the same pan. Or transfer the pot to the oven with the lid on to slow braise – the lid is designed to circulate steam and return moisture back to the food. Or use it without the lid to roast meat and vegetables to tender, juicy perfection.
Straight Sides and Medium Depth
With straight sides and medium depth, the Signature Round Wide Oven is deeper than a Braiser but not as deep as our best-selling Round Dutch Oven, making it an excellent addition to your Le Creuset collection. This allows plenty of room for simmering stews, reducing sauces and evaporating liquids, and also helps contain splatters when frying doughnuts or chicken for easy cleanup. But it also makes it beautifully easy to serve soups, casseroles and one pot meals directly from the pot, from stove to oven to table.
Generously Sized
The generous 6.75 qt. size of this pot easily serves 6-8 people depending on the recipe, making it ideal for family meals and entertaining. It’s also great for batch cooking and meal prep on the weekend, so that busy weekdays can be a bit less hectic. Wide loop handles provide a secure grip for easy lifting, even with a full pot, and it’s topped with an elegant and ergonomic stainless steel knob.
What Can I Cook In the Round Wide Oven?
Designed to be durable and easy to use and clean, the Signature Round Wide Oven is ideal for whole roasts, such as chicken, leg of lamb and pork roasts. It’s also great for soups, stews and sauces, think chili, marinara sauce, bouillabaisse and more. The wide shape and medium depth also makes it ideal for steaming seafood and shellfish, like clams, oysters and mussels. Or use it to make desserts like bread pudding, or even for baking breads and cakes. The possibilities are truly endless.
