Le Creuset Cookware
Le Creuset Enameled Cast Iron Dutch Oven (5.5 qt)
Cast iron
Enameled cast iron, naturally non-stick with use, zero PFAS or plastic. An heirloom piece that outlives everything else in the kitchen.
Why we picked it
Enamel is glass fused onto cast iron, so tomato sauce, wine braises and anything acidic sit happily where bare iron would grumble. Le Creuset has cast these in the same French foundry since 1925, and the 5.5 quart is the size that ends up on the stove four nights a week.
It sears, braises, bakes bread and holds soup at a murmur for hours. People pass them down; the color fades a little and everything else keeps working.
What it’s made of
Enameled cast iron. Chosen for what it’s made of, not what it’s wrapped in.
- Cast iron
- Lasts generations with zero coatings or plastic.
