When to choose it

Choose this oven when you bake round loaves and prefer an enameled cooking surface. The low base gives you access from the side. Le Creuset lists a 9.4-inch interior diameter for its 9.5-inch Cerise oven, which is the useful starting measurement for comparing a boule.

The interior enamel needs no seasoning according to Le Creuset. If you bake long bâtards, measure them against the round base and compare an oblong covered pan before buying. Use the manufacturer’s separate exterior figures to check rack clearance.

Questions about this product

Can the red oven and lid knob go into the oven together?

Le Creuset lists both as oven-safe up to 500 °F for this model. Also follow the limit for any separate sling.

Does the enamel require oil seasoning?

The manufacturer says the enameled surface needs no seasoning. It recommends hand washing even though it lists the oven as dishwasher safe.

Why compare an oblong vessel?

An oblong pan can suit a long loaf when the ends would crowd a round base. Use the usable floor measurements for the comparison.
