Le Creuset L2501-2609 5 1/2 qt. Round French Oven (Blue) Le Creuset enameled cast iron cookware is backed by a Lifetime Warranty, good for the lifetime of the original owner, whether a self purchase or received as a gift. No more 'hot spots'! Le Creuset enameled cast iron spreads heat more evenly, and because the base, sidewalls and lid, are all of the same quality and thickness, there are no areas where heat can be lost rapidly. Tight-fitting lids and even heating combine to form a blanket of heat, which gently cooks food while sealing in flavors Equipped with perfectly angled handles, our cookware is easy to manage for lifting and carrying to the table
