The white truffle color is even more elegant in person, and the oval shape fits a whole chicken perfectly. Cleanup is remarkably easy despite the heavy weight.

The 5.75 qt size is perfect for a batch of braised short ribs with room to spare. Heat distribution is remarkably even on my gas stove, and the white truffle color looks far better in person than in photos. The lid fits snugly enough that almost no moisture escapes during a long simmer.
