The 1925 color for medium portions.\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Signature Dutch Oven, 26 cm, in Volcanic\u003c\/strong\u003e is Le Creuset’s classic round cast iron pot with a volume of approximately 5.3 liters, featuring a light-colored enamel interior, suitable for all hob types including induction. It is not lightweight, not microwave-safe, and not a pot for quick, high heat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Signature Dutch Oven, 26 cm, in Volcanic\u003c\/strong\u003e measures 26 centimeters in diameter and holds approximately 5.3 liters – the perfect size for medium portions and guests. On the outside, it features the Volcanic color enamel, while the inside has a light glaze, and the lid is topped with a heat-resistant knob. From searing to simmering to serving, everything stays in this one pot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCast Iron Works Over Time\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCast iron absorbs heat slowly, distributes it evenly from the base to the walls, and retains it there. This is precisely what differentiates it from lightweight cookware: once heated, the Dutch oven continues to cook at low to medium heat – it doesn't need more, and you shouldn't give it more, as gentle heat preserves the material.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis saves energy and transforms cooking. A stew will cook evenly on a low flame, with nothing burning in a hot spot. And when the Dutch oven comes to the table, its contents will stay hot for a long time – the pot also serves as the serving dish. It works on all hob types, from gas to ceramic to induction, and can go into the oven and even the freezer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSearing also works well in the enamel: sear meat over medium heat, deglaze the fond with wine or stock, put the lid on – the rest is patience. Because the pot maintains heat so evenly, it tolerates long cooking times without anything sticking to the bottom.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Enamel and Its Rules\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eInside, the Dutch oven features Le Creuset’s light-colored enamel. Its smooth surface is easy to clean and shows, during searing, how much the fond has developed – something you can't see on a dark surface. The lid seals tightly, keeping moisture in the pot; its knob is heat-resistant up to 250 °C, but it gets hot in the oven and should be handled with an oven mitt.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThere are two things to know. Cast iron is not suitable for the microwave – metal should not be put in there. And anyone expecting feather-light cookware will not be happy with a cast iron Dutch oven: its weight is part of its function, as the mass is what stores the heat. While the Dutch oven is dishwasher-safe, hand washing is still recommended – it preserves the patina that develops over the years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIf something does bake on, soaked warm water with a little dish soap will help – scouring agents and steel wool have no place on enamel. Maintained this way, the surface will withstand decades of daily use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCast in One Piece Since 1925\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn 1925, foundry technician Armand Desaegher and enamel specialist Octave Aubecq teamed up to produce cast iron Dutch ovens with colored enamel – marking the birth of Le Creuset. The round cocotte was one of the first products and remains the heart of the brand to this day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTo this day, each Dutch oven is manufactured using the sand casting method, where each mold is used only once – no two pots are identical down to the gram. This is followed by several layers of enamel, which give the cast iron its color and the inside its smooth surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eLe Creuset offers a 30-year warranty on the Dutch oven. This is not a marketing number, but a statement about its lifespan: a Signature Dutch oven is more likely to be inherited than replaced.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eVolcanic in Guest Size\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSince 1925, Volcanic has been the hallmark of the company – the transition from orange to red evokes the glowing iron in the crucible. In the 26 cm size with 5.3 liters, this traditional color becomes the pot for medium portions: Sunday roasts, goulash for guests, large curries.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eSome pots are bought for one recipe. This one is bought for the next thirty years.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Le Creuset","offers":[{"title":"1 piece","offer_id":56363677581638,"sku":"074LEC077","price":299.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0998\/4960\/1350\/files\/le-creuset-sale-braeter-ofenrot_d68466d5-32e4-4299-8f98-ed96974c948a.jpg?v=1776143731","url":"https:\/\/ginusslande.com\/en\/products\/le-creuset-braeter-signature-26cm-ofenrot","provider":"genussland","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
