Calling all collectors and comfort-food foodies! This Heritage Collection 4-quart round oven has us all heart eyes and hungry bellies, recalling a time when a looped-handle Le Creuset vessel (also known as a legumier) was the one-and-done dish. It would simmer a showstopping pot roast with veggies; bathe chicken, carrots, and celery in salty broth (don't forget the pillowy dumplings!); and serve a warm apple brown betty to those sweet faces waiting at the table. Now? This vintage-inspired piece still knocks those soul-soothing meals out of the park -- along with all the new recipes you've accumulated from friends, family, and your social feeds! Think: artisan sourdough bread, mac and cheese with creative mix-ins, and braised short ribs that keep 'em coming back for seconds (and thirds).
The secret? Le Creuset's enameled cast-iron that (still) requires no seasoning and delivers superior heat distribution, avoiding hot spots that can burn your food. The classic construction also offers heat retention that, after being removed from the oven or stove, keeps your delicious dishes warmer longer -- a win for those guests at the end of the buffet line.
Speaking of buffet lines, this round oven is the ultimate gift for the holiday hostess who loves cookware that looks as good as it cooks -- with a side of nostalgia. Or, how about the happy couple who crave the classics and a home-cooked meal? (Four quarts is the quintessential starter size!) But maybe, this retro redo is for y-o-u -- so that stuffing or casserole you've lovingly prepared is served up more beautifully than ever. From Le Creuset.
