Designed for crafting an authentic risotto, this shallow pot promotes the efficient evaporation of liquids to create a rich, creamy sauce, and the sides are angled for easy stirring. The 6 3/4-quart enameled cast iron pot is also excellent for baked pastas, poached fish and rustic one-pot meals. The heavy, tight-fitting lid seals in flavor by trapping steam and nutrients, so food self-bastes. The mainstay of French chefs for nearly a century, Le Creuset cookware features bold and bright colors in a variety of shapes and sizes to suit any culinary need. Each cookware piece is skillfully finished by hand. Dishwasher-safe. Made in France. 12 3/8" Dia. x 6"H (including knob).

Care Instructions
• Select low to medium heat for best results.
• Select the size of your heat source so that it is as close as possible to the base size of your pan. This will prevent energy loss and overheating of the handle.
• Gently pre-heat utensil on low setting for 2 to 3 minutes then add oil or liquid to the pan.
• Use only wooden, plastic, or heat resistant nylon tools, to avoid scratching the enamel.
• Use a potholder or oven glove to lift metal handled pans from the stovetop or oven.
• Stand hot pans on a Le Creuset trivet, board or cloth, not directly on unprotected counter tops.
• Cool pans before washing in hot soapy water, rinse and dry thoroughly.
• Remove stubborn food residues with a plastic or sponge scourer only - do not use metal scourers or abrasive cleaners of any kind.
