Le Creuset Signature Enameled Cast-Iron Oval Dutch Oven, 6.75QT

Once this Dutch oven from Le Creuset meets your stovetop, you’ll wonder how you ever got along without it. It heats evenly and retains heat like there’s no tomorrow—and even keeps precious flavor and moisture inside thanks to the dome-shaped lid. It also happens to be lighter than any other cast-iron pot its size, with an enameled interior that cleans up easily without any need for seasoning. Give it all the frying, roasting, and simmering you’ve got, and use it with your metal utensils if you please. This one happily resists stains and chips and (oh yeah) has roomy handles on the sides for all those oven-to-table transfers.

Le Creuset’s signature enameled cast-iron oval Dutch oven plays well with all stovetops, including induction, and ovens up to 500°F. As for the 6.75-quart capacity: It’ll prep 5 to 6 servings of sticky wings, butternut squash soup, coq au vin, pineapple fried rice...just about anything you can dream up, really.
