The large soup pot serves up 10 to 12 servings of gumbo when the family visits or chili for the game crowd. Perfect for broth- and cream-based soups and for one-pot meals such as stew or bouillabaisse. The pot's shape enhances natural circulation of ingredients so foods simmer evenly. The heavy, tight-fitting lid seals in flavor by trapping steam, so food bastes itself. 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. Made in France. Dishwasher-safe, but hand washing is recommended. 7 1/2-quart capacity. 15.25"W (including handles) x 12.5"D x 6.75"H.

• 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.
• When using pans on ceramic or halogen stovetops, always lift them (do not slide) to move.
