The enamel-on-steel construction of Le Creuset stockpots provides uniform heating for slow-simmering soups and spaghetti sauce or cooking pasta. The 8-quart size is ideal when you're making soup or stew for a crowd; also useful for cooking pasta or rice, and for boiling whole potatoes or sweet potatoes for mashing. 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. 8-quart capacity. 4 lbs. 9 3/4" Dia. x 7 1/2"H, 11 1/2"W (including handles).

Care Instructions
• Avoid leaving water in stockpot when not in use. A build-up of mineral deposits may occur and reduce efficiency.
• Before first use, wash stockpot in hot water with a mild detergent. Rinse well and dry.
• Always ensure base stockpot is covered by water before heating.
• Match stockpot base to size of burner.
• Do not bang the stockpot. Repeated knocks may damage the enamel.

• Stand hot pans on a Le Creuset trivet, board or cloth, not directly on an unprotected worktop.
