Product Description
The Le creuset stockpot is styled and colored to match other pieces in the collection, but due to its size is made of steel with an enamel coating. If it were made of cast iron you'd never be able to lift it safely, especially with bubbling soup or stew inside! the lid fits tightly to keep all those delicious aromas and flavors inside. This 8 quart pot is wonderful for simmering chicken stock or marinara sauce, boiling pasta for spaghetti night and steaming bulky vegetables.

Poach chickens, simmer stocks, cook pasta, or prepare a vegetable soup or classic chili in this tall, narrow, 8-quart stockpot with a tight-fitting lid. Made of heavy-gauge steel and double-coated with hard, bright enamel, the stockpot coordinates with Le Creuset's famed enameled cast-iron cookware in the French manufacturer's handsome colors and is as at home in the dining room as a serving vessel as it is in the kitchen on the stovetop or in the oven. The lid has a plastic knob that is ovenproof to 450 degrees F. Fitted with a steel rim to prevent chipping, the pot is durable enough to outlive its 10-year warranty against defects and goes safely into the dishwasher and refrigerator. --Fred Brack

Heating tipsLe Creuset stockpots can be used with all heat sources, including induction. For efficient and safe boiling, always use a burner similar in size to the base of the stockpot. | Tools to useWe encourage you to use an oven mitt or silicone Cool Tool to avoid burns or injuries. | Cleaning and careDo not bang a stockpot down onto a stove’s surface or work surface. Repeated banging may damage the exterior enamel. For efficient and safe boiling, always use a burner similar in size to the base of the stockpot. Do not place a stockpot on a heat source without having liquid in the pot. Do not allow a stockpot to boil dry. Never place a stockpot in the dishwasher. To clean, simply hand-wash the stockpot with hot, soapy water. Rinse well, and dry thoroughly. Do not submerge stockpots in water – the water may become trapped inside the vessel and can lead to rusting. |
