Since 1925, Le Creuset has handcrafted timeless, specialty cookware designed for exceptional performance. The enameled cast iron Doufeu is expertly designed for slow cooking, braising, and roasting. Its signature Heritage-design self-basting lid is engineered with a recessed center to hold ice, creating a unique cooling effect. As steam rises during cooking, it condenses upon contact with the chilled lid. Strategically placed dimples on the underside then guide the moisture back down, continually basting the food and reducing the need for added liquid. Its enameled interior resists sticking, staining, and chipping—requiring no seasoning and offering effortless cleanup after every use.FeaturesReady to use, requires no seasoningEasy-to-clean and durable enamel resists dulling, staining, chipping and crackingSignature self-basting lid is engineered with a recessed center to hold ice, creating a unique cooling effectBuilt-in lid stabilizers provide a secure, no-slide fitSide handles on both the lid and the base for offer added controlCompatible with all cooktops and oven-safe up to 500°FSafe for dishwasher and metal utensils
