The oval shape is what makes this Le Creuset different. Where a round Dutch oven crowds a chicken, brisket, or long cuts of meat, the oval gives you the elongated profile to fit a whole roast, a layered braise, or a side-by-side chicken and vegetables. 5 quarts is the everyday workhorse size: enough for a 4-pound chuck roast, a weeknight braise for 4 to 5, or a Sunday cassoulet. Enameled cast iron with the heat retention, even browning, and lifetime durability Le Creuset has been crafting in France since 1925.
