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.

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