This roomy, elongated oven accommodates longer cuts of meat for braising and roasting. Ideal for simmering stews and soups, marinating roasts, or poaching chicken and fish, too. The tight-fitting lid traps steam to seal in flavors and self-baste foods. The versatile oven goes from refrigerator to oven or stovetop, then looks handsome on the table before storing leftovers in the freezer.

Each enameled cast iron cookware piece is skillfully finished by hand. Made in France. Dishwasher-safe, but hand-washing is recommended. 3 1/2 Quart capacity. 9 lbs. 9" Dia. x 4"H.
