Le Creuset Enameled Cast-Iron 5-Quart Oval French Oven, Cobalt

This oval French oven (some might call it a Dutch oven) holds five quarts, the ideal size for macaroni-and-cheese or a side dish of rice pilaf. The exterior comes in a choice of several bright, modern colors, while the interior keeps a more neutral tone to showcase your cuisine. The enamel resists cracking and staining and is best cared for when the contents are stirred with nylon, wood, or silicone utensils. It's also so smooth that food particles tend not to stick, making cleaning by hand or in the dishwasher a snap. Made in France, the Le Creuset French oven is guaranteed to be free of defects for the lifetime of the original owner, whether self-purchased or received as a gift. --Ann Bieri
