Know before you buy
The 9-quart size is ideal for large batches, such as stews, soups, or roasting a whole chicken, making it perfect for families or meal prepping. If you typically cook for only one or two people, you may find this size quite spacious, but it offers excellent versatility for hosting.
Yes, this Dutch oven is fully compatible with all heat sources, including induction, gas, electric, ceramic, and halogen stovetops.
No, the stainless steel knob is designed to withstand high temperatures, so it is completely safe to use in the oven at any temperature setting.
The sand-colored enamel is durable and non-reactive, but it can show signs of wear over time. To maintain the finish, we recommend using silicone, wood, or heat-resistant plastic utensils rather than metal ones.
Yes, it is dishwasher safe. However, hand washing with warm, soapy water is often recommended to preserve the exterior enamel's luster and prevent potential dulling over many years of use.
This model weighs 16 pounds. While it is substantial, Le Creuset engineers it to have the lightest weight per quart of any premium cast iron cookware currently on the market.
