This 4.5-quart Le Creuset Dutch oven offers versatile cooking performance and visual charm. Bee and wildflower images set on a honeycomb pattern decorate the sides and lid, which is topped with a gleaming gold knob. The enameled cast-iron cookware is designed to heat evenly on the stovetop or in the oven for perfectly cooked dishes, whether you're slow-cooking, braising, roasting or frying. Enameled cast iron delivers superior heat distribution and retention. Tight-fitting lid circulates steam and returns moisture back to the food. Ready to use, no seasoning required. Durable surfaces resist dulling, staining, chipping and cracking. Ergonomic knob and handles are designed for easy lifting. Compatible with all cooktops; oven safe up to 500°F. Lightest-weight cast iron available. Hand-applied appliqué and gold tone stainless-steel knob. Dishwasher safe. Made in France. A Williams Sonoma exclusive.
