Generations have cherished this classic cocotte, that many call a Dutch oven. Versatile for baking, roasting, broiling, braising, sautéing or marinating, the 2-quart size is ideal for 3 to 4 servings of main-dish casseroles, baked vegetables, or macaroni and cheese. 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.

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. When using pans on ceramic or halogen stovetops, always lift them (do not slide) to move.
• If a pan is banged against a hard surface or is dropped, it may chip or break.
• Pans with metal or heat resistant plastic handles may be used in the oven. The maximum temperature that should be used is 400 F.
• Remove stubborn food residues with a plastic or sponge scourer only; do not use metal scourers or abrasive cleaners of any kind.
