Le Creuset Signature Oval Dutch Oven, 8 Qt.

The 8 quart Oval slots between the 6.75 and 9.5 sizes: roomier than the everyday workhorse but easier to lift than the entertaining-size 9.5. The oval profile fits a whole chicken with vegetables, a bone-in pork shoulder, a 4 to 5 pound brisket, or family-sized stews and bean dishes. Same heirloom enameled cast iron construction Le Creuset has been crafting in France since 1925.
