The oval shape of this Le Creuset enameled cast iron dutch oven is particularly well suited to longer cuts of meat or poultry, but is also great for beef stew, no-knead bread, soups and stews, roast chicken, fried chicken and even mashed potatoes. Cast iron, both strong and durable, is the prime material for slow-cooking, braising, and roasting - due to its ability to maintain even and consistent heat. No seasoning is required and it may be used on any stovetop or in the oven.
