notes: label: Description
content: Julia Child introduced Americans to all sorts of new durable cookware, including enameled cast-iron pots from France. Perfect for long braises, they were obviously well-suited to America’s favorite stews and roasts. The original Le Creuset pots were all flame-red; this true red one, with its odd handles, belonged to Julia Child. Its line, called “La Mama, was introduced by Le Creuset in 1973, designed by Enzo Mari, an Italian designer. Julia referred to it as her “soup” pot. The six quart Le Creuset pot, now available in many colors, is one of the most common in the “new” American kitchens.
