A 6.2L pot made for creamy risotto and so much more.
A 30cm risotto pot with a 6.2 litre capacity is wonderfully generous, designed to handle everything from silky weeknight risotto to hearty batches for entertaining. Its wide base and ample volume mean you can comfortably cook enough to feed a group without crowding the rice, allowing it to release starch slowly for that classic creamy texture. Whether you are preparing a family meal, hosting friends, or simply enjoy cooking with a bit more space, this size gives you the freedom to stir, simmer, and build flavour without compromise. It is also crafted for dishes that benefit from quick, even heating and easy movement across the base, giving you a more responsive cooking experience.
While a Le Creuset casserole is excellent for slow braises and all-purpose cooking, this risotto pot offers a specialised shape that brings real advantages. The broader cooking surface encourages even evaporation, which helps the rice release its starch for a silkier finish, and the gently sloped sides allow you to stir comfortably without grains getting caught in tight corners. It heats quickly, adapts well to temperature changes, and gives you the kind of control that is harder to achieve in a taller, narrower casserole.

Before first use
Wash your Le Creuset product in warm, soapy water; then rinse and dry thoroughly.
Satin Black
Satin Black enamel can be found on skillets, grills, frying pans, sauté pans, woks, tagines and several other specialty dishes. Satin Black enamel has a smooth feel but is not as glossy as other light-coloured interior enamel finishes. It has been specially designed for higher surface temperature cooking, which is not the same as simply using a piece on high heat. With cast iron, higher surface temperatures can be achieved by allowing any piece to heat thoroughly on a medium setting. This makes the satin black interior ideal for frying, grilling and searing. Satin Black enamel will keep its good looks and allow a patina to build on its surface with continued use. A patina is the result of the natural oils and fats from foods baking onto the hot surface. The patina should not be cleaned off, as it enhances the cooking performance and the release of foods. It also reduces the need for surface oiling. With the higher surface temperatures achieved during frying, grilling and searing, sugars and some enzymes will cause caramelisation. This not only aids in the retention of moisture and flavour but also produces the sear lines and crusty exterior on grilled meats.
Cooking
Stay protected – always use oven gloves when handling anything hot. We recommend using Le Creuset Silicone Tools or wooden/heat-resistant plastic tools. Metal utensils may be used with care, but they should not be used harshly or scraped over the cooking surface as this may cause damage. Use the product on the most appropriately sized hob ring — it’ll make your food cook more evenly, and reduce the risk of damage to the handles and sides. This is especially important on induction hobs: if you use the wrong-sized ring, there’s a risk the hob won’t ‘recognise’ the product. Cooking on medium or low heat gets the best results — even for frying and searing. Let the product heat up gradually for great-tasting food that’s cooked evenly. If you do need to use a higher heat, lower the setting once the desired heat has been reached. Never slide the product on any glass-topped hob/stovetop, as this may cause damage to the product base and the glass. Instead, always lift the product on and off, or across the surface.
Cleaning
Wait for your product to cool down before you start cleaning it. Wipe any leftovers off the base and sides of the product. If there’s food stuck on, fill the product with warm, soapy water and let it soak for 15 to 20 minutes before washing as usual. Do not use abrasive cleaning agents or metal, harsh abrasive or very stiff cleaning pads or brushes on any of the surfaces. Dry well after washing and store in a dry place.

Satin Black vs Standard Light Enamel Interior
Satin Black Enamel
- Specially designed for higher surface temperature cooking, ideal for frying, grilling, searing and stir-frying.
- Smooth matte finish that is less glossy than lighter interiors.
- Patina develops naturally over time from oils and fats; it enhances non-stick performance, improves food release and reduces the need for extra oil.
- Encourages caramelisation of sugars and enzymes during cooking, helping retain moisture, flavour and produce sear lines or crusty surfaces.
- Responds quickly to temperature changes, giving better control for high-heat cooking.
Standard Light Enamel Interior
- Glossy finish designed for everyday, all-purpose cooking such as stews, soups, braises and slow simmering.
- Prioritises ease of cleaning, resisting stains and sticking.
- Does not build a patina; performance relies on the smooth enamel finish.
- Best used with low to medium heat, suitable for gradual, moisture-rich cooking.
- Excellent for even, gentle heat distribution and flavour development in slow cooking.
Satin Black enamel is designed for higher surface temperature cooking, making it perfect for frying, grilling, searing and stir-frying. Its smooth, matte finish develops a natural patina over time, which enhances non-stick performance, improves food release and reduces the need for extra oil, while promoting caramelisation for richer flavour and crusty textures. In contrast, standard light enamel interiors are glossy, easy to clean, and ideal for low to medium heat cooking such as stews, soups and braises. They do not develop a patina but provide gentle, even heat for slow, moisture-rich cooking.
