A cast iron frame is used for Le Connoisseur cookware, due to it being one of the best materials for retaining, conducting and distributing heat evenly. The heavy thickness of the body and lid is designed to encase heat around the food for exceptional cooking results. Self basting spikes have been applied on the surface of the lid to collect and direct moisture back into the dish, creating a juicy and succulent meal. Transport your food from cooktop to table, with generously sized handles that ensure your French Oven is easy to hold and carry. Enjoy familiar, rustic styling with an easy clean double layer enamel surface, that requires absolutely zero seasoning out of the box. The Baccarat Le Connoisseur Round French Oven 6.3L is oven and dishwasher safe, and suitable for all cooktops including induction.
