While it is in great condition, there are a few small superficial scratches in the enamel on the edge of the bottom of the pot, and a few shallow divots on the bottom of the pot and the inner lip of the lid; however, they are very superficial. The iconic Le Creuset Dutch oven is indispensable in the kitchens of home cooks and professional chefs alike.
Long recognized for its strength and durability, cast iron is the prime material for slow-cooking, braising and roasting, thanks to its ability to maintain even and consistent heat. The enameled Dutch oven needs no seasoning, and its suitable for both stovetop and oven use.

This tradition of the finest culinary craftsmanship, combined with the latest innovations in comfort and functionality, make Le Creuset unsurpassed in both beauty and quality. Colorful exterior enamel is shock-resistant to prevent chipping and cracking. Sand-colored interior enamel has a smooth finish that promotes caramelization, prevents sticking and resists stains. Dome-shaped lid locks in flavor by promoting continuous circulation of heat and moisture. Wide loop handles provide a safe and comfortable grip. Signature black phenolic knob is oven-safe up to 500°F. Stainless steel knob is safe at any oven temperature. HEAT SOURCE: CERAMIC, ELECTRIC, GAS, HALOGEN, INDUCTION, OUTDOOR GRILL, OVEN.
