Le Creuset Enameled Cast Iron Signature Deep Round Oven, 6.5 qt., Sea Salt. Max Temperature Limit: Oven safe up to 500°F (260°C). Product Highlights: Coastal-Inspired Sea Salt Gradient: Finished in Le Creuset's highly coveted Sea Salt colorway, featuring a sophisticated, soft gradient that transitions from a gentle ocean mist grey to a muted pale blue. This tranquil, neutral tone complements both modern minimalist and classic farmhouse kitchen designs. Specialized Deep-Wall Architecture: Engineered with an extra-tall vertical profile that increases cooking volume without taking up precious stovetop burner space. This deep design minimizes messy oil splatters, seals in moisture effectively, and is perfectly sized for large bone-in roasts, stocks, and high-rising loaves. Masterful French Heat Engineering: Individually cast by skilled artisans using top-tier iron that delivers exceptional thermal retention and perfectly even heat distribution. It completely eliminates hot spots, allowing you to sear, braise, and simmer your meals with professional consistency. State-of-the-Art Sand Enamel Lining: Coated inside with a durable, smooth, light-colored sand porcelain enamel. This non-reactive interior makes it easy to monitor browning and fond development while cooking, and it actively resists chipping, cracking, staining, and odor absorption. Ergonomic Widened Loop Handles: Equipped with signature oversized side handles that offer 45% more finger room for a safer, more balanced grip. It allows you to lift and transfer the heavy pot from the oven directly to your dining table with confidence, even while wearing bulky oven mitts.

The flat, heavy-duty base provides flawless performance on all cooking surfaces, including gas, electric, smooth ceramic glass, and induction.
