The iconic Le Creuset Signature Round Dutch Oven is indispensable in the kitchens of home cooks and professional chefs alike. Expertly crafted from enameled cast iron, the everyday versatility of the Dutch Oven makes it ideal for everything from slow-cooking and braising to roasting, baking, frying and more.
One hundred years after introducing the heritage color that ignited it all, Le Creuset’s eternal flame just became brighter. Flamme Dorée – Golden Flame – strikes a perfect balance between rich tradition and modern innovation. This reimagined classic features a fresh, glistening sheen and an iconic stainless steel crucible knob with a light gold finish. Vibrant, familiar, and globally recognizable, this celebratory hue pays tribute to the past while illuminating the path to the future.
Individually crafted by French artisans from the finest quality materials since 1925, the Signature Round Dutch Oven is beloved for its perfected design and exceptional heat retention that locks in moisture and flavor to produce superior results from stove to oven to table. Designed for generations of durability, the easy-to-clean vibrant porcelain enamel requires no seasoning, minimizes sticking and is dishwasher safe.
Le Creuset produced the first enameled cast iron cookware nearly a century ago, and the original foundry still operates today, where 15 skilled artisans hand-inspect each piece. This tradition of the finest culinary craftsmanship, combined with the latest innovations in comfort and functionality, make Le Creuset unsurpassed in both beauty and quality.

ENAMELED CAST IRON
Since 1925, Le Creuset cast iron has been recognized for its strength and durability. Cast individually in sand molds, then hand-inspected by French artisans, each piece represents a rich heritage and continues a tradition of lasting, authentic design.
HEAT RETENTION
Cast iron distributes heat slowly and evenly over the entire vessel, making it ideal for all forms of cooking, whether slow-cooking, roasting, searing, stir-frying or baking.
SMOOTH INTERIOR ENAMEL
The glass-like finish in our ovens and braisers promotes caramelization, resists staining and prevents sticking to make cleanup easy.
