This 5-1/2-quart French oven by Le Creuset is the most forgiving pan I’ve ever used. If you just happen to forget you’re sautéing onions for a soup while you answer the telephone, there’s no need to worry–the onions won’t burn. Enameled cast iron has been recognized as one of the best materials available for cookware because it retains heat and promotes gentle, even cooking at low heat ensuring that the best flavor is brought out from the ingredients. It’s perfect for use on any heat source–gas, electric, radiant, ceramic, halogen, induction, or solid fuel. There’s also a tight-fitting, enameled cast-iron lid that helps seal in heat and flavor. Food will be kept hot as you bring it to the table for serving. And you will certainly want to serve out of this beautiful piece–the deep color and shiny finish will brighten any table setting. –Jane DePaolo
