Oval Dutch Oven Le Creuset Signature in Enameled Cast Iron, Red, 31 cm

The Le Creuset Signature Oval Dutch Oven, 31 cm, in enameled cast iron is made for steady heat and long, gentle cooking. The oval shape better accommodates roasts, poultry, larger cuts and whole vegetables, while the lid helps retain heat and moisture during the process. In red, it also works well for serving, going from stovetop or oven straight to the table.

Integrated side handles make handling easier, and the stainless steel knob completes the piece. It is a versatile pan for daily cooking and slower recipes, with compatibility across different heat sources, including induction and the oven.

The oval format favors recipes that need more usable length inside the pan. It helps with poultry, roasts, long cuts and whole vegetables, as well as slow cooking where the pan stays on the stove or in the oven for longer.

The lid supports heat circulation and moisture retention, which makes a difference for braises, stews and recipes that aim for a softer texture at the end.
