The Le Creuset Round Deep Dutch Oven is an enameled cast iron pot with taller sides and more depth than the classic round oven, sized at 6 1/2 quarts. The extra height holds splatters and boil-overs in while keeping the same stovetop footprint, and the light interior enamel lets you watch browning and reductions. It works on all cooktops, goes into the oven up to 500°F, and needs no seasoning. Against a standard round Dutch oven it trades a little width for depth, which suits frying, soups and pasta more than wide braises. Owners rate it highly for heat retention and easy cleanup.

Owners give it top marks, praising even heat, the deep sides that keep the stovetop clean, and the light interior that makes it easy to judge browning. Most complaints center on weight and the care needed to protect the enamel.
The Le Creuset Round Deep Dutch Oven is made of enameled cast iron, which distributes and retains heat well. It has extra depth and a 6 1/2 qt. capacity that doesn't crowd the stovetop. The tall sides help contain splatters and reduce boil-overs.
The tight-fitting lid circulates steam and returns moisture to the food as it simmers. The interior enamel is smooth and light colored, so you can watch how the food is cooking. The enamel resists dulling, staining, chipping and cracking.
The pot is ready to use and needs no seasoning. Ergonomic knobs and handles are designed for easy lifting. It works on all cooktops and is oven-safe up to 500°F.
