Le Creuset Traditional Oval Doufeu, 7.25 Qt.

Braising that bastes itself, no lid-lifting required.

The Doufeu is Le Creuset's most distinctive heritage piece: a covered French oven with a concave lid built to cradle ice cubes during a long, slow braise. As the ice melts, the chilled lid draws condensation that drips back down onto the food, basting it continuously while the cover stays put. The 7.25 qt oval shape stretches around a bone-in roast or a whole bird, all in the same enameled cast iron Le Creuset has crafted in France since 1925.
