Pick of the patch.

We dare you to find a pumpkin at the patch that tops this one. Built from top-notch enameled cast iron (we’d expect no less from Le Creuset) it retains heat for ultra-even cooking and browning, then keeps things warmer for longer at the table. Oh, and speaking of heat, this one plays well with any stovetop, induction included, plus the oven and broiler too. The tight-fitting lid locks in moisture and flavor—just one more reason it’s our one-and-only for hearty soups and root veg stews. Props to the light enamel interior for making cleanup quicker than ever.

Roasted pepper soup, sweet potato stew, and garlicky pot roast are just a few recipes we’re cooking up in this pot. And when it’s not hitting the stove? Use it to serve popcorn, snacks, and Halloween treats.
