The enamel-on-steel construction of Le Creuset stockpots provides uniform heating for slow-simmering soups and spaghetti sauce or cooking pasta. The 12-quart stockpot is tall and comparatively narrow so heat quickly percolates though layers of food and liquid. 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. Imported. Dishwasher-safe, but hand washing is recommended. 12-quart capacity. 7 lbs. 11 1/2" Dia., 12.25"W (including handle) x 9.75"D x 10"H.
