Le Creuset DOUFEU OVAL 35 CM CHERRY RED

Oval cast iron doufeu

This classic Le Creuset roasting pan dates back to 1934. The French word "feu doux" means "gentle fire"—the roasting pan got its name because it's suitable for low-heat cooking. Thanks to its cast-iron construction, heat is distributed evenly. It also traps moisture, ensuring succulent dishes cooked to perfection. The inside of the lid features small nubs that allow condensed liquid from the pan to trickle down into the food. To enhance this effect, simply place ice cubes in the lid's recess when cooking on the stovetop.

A true all-rounder: suitable for ovens, stoves, induction cookers or ovens with grill function.

The cast iron retains heat very well, perfect for even cooking and frying. Your delicious creations also stay warmer on the table longer.

Locks in moisture: Our tight-fitting lid helps retain moisture in the dish and enhance flavor for perfectly cooked food.

Not too hot: Cook at a steady, low to medium heat to protect your cast iron and achieve delicious results.

The choice is yours: available in different sizes to meet the needs of your kitchen.

Industry-leading: Our products are crafted in factories around the world using the highest quality materials to ensure the quality you expect from Le Creuset.

Before first use

We hope you enjoy unpacking your new purchase! (Remove all stickers and packaging.)

Rinse your Le Creuset product with hot soapy water before first use; then rinse thoroughly and dry.

Protect yourself - always use oven gloves when handling hot objects.

We recommend using only Le Creuset silicone, wooden, or heat-resistant plastic utensils. Do NOT use knives or metal utensils, as these may cause discoloration and scratches on the enameled surface of the product.

Use the product on the most appropriately sized hob—this will ensure your food cooks more evenly and reduce the risk of damage to the handles and sides. This is especially important for induction cooktops: If you use a hob with the wrong diameter, there's a risk that the product won't be recognized by the hob.

Cooking at medium or low heat produces the best results—even when frying and searing. Heat the pan gradually for evenly cooked, flavorful dishes. If you still need a high temperature, reduce the heat once the desired temperature is reached.

Never slide the product across a glass ceramic hob/stovetop, as this may damage the bottom of the product and the glass plate. Instead, always lift the product and place it on the surface.

cleaning

Allow your product to cool down before cleaning.

Clean any residue from the bottom and sides of the product. If food remains, fill the product with warm soapy water and let it soak for 15 to 20 minutes before rinsing as usual.

Do not use abrasive cleaners or metal, rough or very hard cleaning pads or brushes on any of the surfaces.

After rinsing, dry the products thoroughly and store them in a dry place.
