The Le Creuset Signature Cast Iron Bread Oven is designed to produce bakery-quality results. Crafted from legendary cast iron for superior heat distribution. The tight-fitting domed lid is specially designed to trap and circulate steam to create a crisp crust, maximum rise and excellent flavor. The low-profile base features raised ridges for even browning and marks the loaf with the Le Creuset logo and three rings. The porcelain enamel finish requires no seasoning, minimizes sticking, and resists dulling, staining, chipping and cracking. Individually crafted by French artisans from the finest quality materials since 1925, Le Creuset is beloved for its perfected design and exceptional heat retention that locks in moisture and flavor to produce superior results from stove to oven to table, designed for generations of durability.
