The convenient size and capacity of the 3 1/2 qt. round French oven guarantee its frequent use in any kitchen. Filled with macaroni and cheese, it’s the perfect dish to carry to a pot luck dinner – the contents will still be warm when you arrive. Or make a one-pot meal for two, with leftovers for another day.

With ergonomic handles and an advanced interior enamel that resists chipping and cleans easily, Le Creuset’s French ovens – also known as Dutch ovens – blend the best of the past with the latest innovations in comfort and functionality.
