New Le Creuset 4-1/4-Quart Soup Pot w/ Lid - Cherry Red Product Description: Beautiful enough for the table and durable enough to outlive its lifetime warranty against defects, this heavy, round, 4-1/4-quart soup pot is shaped to circulate ingredients' flavor while they simmer. Soup, stew, beans, or corned beef and cabbage then can be served stylishly. The pot is made of cast iron, with both exterior and interior clad in two coats of enamel. As cast iron is unexcelled for heat distribution and retention and enamel is impervious to acids and odors, the pot browns and cooks food uniformly and gently without hot spots and can be used for marinating. It's safe on any stovetop, including induction, and dishwasher-safe. The plastic knob on its heavy, tight-fitting lid is ovenproof to 450 degrees F. Like all Le Creuset cast-iron products, it's hand cast in a one-of-a-kind sand mold and hand finished at the Le Creuset factory in France. It carries a lifetime warranty against defects.
