Description of Le Creuset Enameled Cast-Iron 7-1/2-Quart Bouillabaisse Pot, Dijon
Beautiful enough to bring to the table and durable enough to outlive its 101-year warranty against defects, this big pot is perfect for preparing and ceremoniously serving a bouillabaisse, soup, stew, or casserole. Made of cast iron, with an exterior and interior clad in Le Creuset's famous bright enamel, the pot holds 7-1/4 quarts and measures 12-1/2 inches at the top. Because the sides slope to a bottom of only 6-3/4 inches, the pot fits household stovetop burners. As cast iron is unexcelled for heat distribution and retention, the pot cooks foods evenly and gently without hot spots. The knob on its heavy, tight-fitting lid is ovenproof to 450 degrees F so the pot can go into the oven for casserole cooking. Loop handles facilitate carrying, and the pot is dishwasher-safe.The classic French bouillabaisse pot is shaped with sloped sides so that moisture and juices that try to evaporate (the tight-fitting lid stops them) slide right back in on the food you're cooking. This particular model measures 12-1/2 inches in diameter at the top, 6-3/4 inches at the base (fitting most household burners), and holds 7-1/2 quarts, a crowd-pleasing size for flavorful seafood stew (bouillabaisse), your favorite chili recipe, and chicken and rice in white wine sauce. You can place the tough cast-iron on any type of stovetop burner, and place the whole thing, lid and all, in the oven for roasting and baking. When the feast is ready, carry the handsome pot to the table for serving.
Le Creuset is known for suffusing the exterior of its products with bright, modern colors, while keeping a more neutral tone on the interior to showcase the cuisine. The enamel resists cracking and staining and is best cared for when the contents are stirred with nylon, wood, or silicone utensils. It's also so smooth that food particles tend not to stick, making cleaning by hand or in the dishwasher a snap. Made in France, Le Creuset premium cookware brings joie de vivre to any kitchen it graces and is covered by a lifetime warranty, whether you bought the item for yourself or received it as a gift. --Ann Bieri
