The Le Creuset Enamel on Steel Traditional Stockpot is a 12 qt light yet fast-heating stockpot in Olive with a stainless steel knob, designed for big batches of stock, pasta water, and stews. Its responsive carbon steel core brings water to a boil quickly, while the porcelain enamel finish resists stains and flavors—an ideal match for cooks who want performance and easy care in one hardworking pot.
Le Creuset enamel on steel cookware combines the quick response of carbon steel with the easy-to-clean finish of porcelain enamel. This 12 qt stockpot heats water noticeably faster than thicker cast iron or stainless pots, then retains heat to keep soups and stock warm at the table or on the stovetop. The vibrant Olive enamel is non-reactive, nonporous, and resistant to stains, rust, scratches, and flavor absorption, so you can move from tomato-heavy chili to creamy chowder without carryover flavors.
Home cooks who care about even heat without lifting a heavy pot will appreciate the balanced design. The stainless steel knob stays cooler during stovetop use, and the wide cooking surface gives you room for big vegetables, whole chickens, or an impressive batch of pasta.

Carbon steel brings speed and responsiveness to the kitchen, and Le Creuset's porcelain enamel coating makes it practical. This 12 qt stockpot won't react with acidic foods and cleans up far more easily than bare steel. The result is a hardworking pot that feels lighter than it looks and performs like a professional workhorse.
Use the 12 qt capacity for homemade stock, seafood boils, pasta for a crowd, or preseason canning projects. The wide opening lets steam escape quickly and gives you easy access for stirring and skimming. Because the pot retains heat well, it also keeps food warm for buffet-style serving.
Preserve the Olive enamel by washing by hand with warm soapy water and avoiding harsh abrasive pads. Dry the pot and lid completely before storing, and keep the stainless steel rim clean to maintain its bright finish. With gentle care, this Le Creuset stockpot will stay part of your kitchen for many years.
Yes, it's compatible with all cooktops, including induction. The carbon steel base works with induction burners and heats quickly.
Le Creuset recommends hand washing enamel on steel cookware with warm soapy water. Dishwashing can dull the porcelain enamel over time.
Yes. The porcelain enamel is non-reactive and resistant to flavor absorption, so tomato sauces and vinegar-based dishes are perfectly safe.
A 12 qt pot is large enough for whole chicken stock, several pounds of pasta, or big-batch chili and soups for a crowd.
Huge stockpot
This pot is massive and heats evenly. Perfect for making big batches of soup. The enamel finish is beautiful.
I bought this stockpot to make broth from scratch. The 12-quart capacity is perfect for processing a whole chicken and vegetables. The enamel coating is smooth and doesn't react with acidic ingredients like tomatoes. It heats relatively quickly for its size, and retains heat well. The two handles are sturdy and make lifting easy, though it's very heavy when full. The lid fits tightly, so it keeps the steam in. I love the Olive color; it matches my kitchen. It's become my go-to for any bulk cooking.
This stockpot is a beast. It feels indestructible. It's light for its size. Cleanup is easy because the enamel is non-porous. I'm very happy.
Great for boiling lobsters. I also use it for brewing beer. The size is perfect. It's a quality pot from Le Creuset.
The enamel coating chipped on the rim after a few months. I've never had that happen with Le Creuset before. It's a good pot, but I'm disappointed. I still use it, but I keep an eye on it.
I've been making my own stock for years and this pot is a game changer. It's big enough for a whole turkey carcass. The heat distribution is even, no hot spots. It doesn't react with bones or vegetables. The handles are comfortable even with oven mitts. The lid is heavy but fits securely. I've used it weekly for a year and it still looks new.
Very large pot. Make sure you have a big stove because it takes up two burners. But it's perfect for canning. The enamel on steel is lighter than cast iron, so I can manage it.
This is my favorite pot for making chili for a crowd. The size is just right. It cleans well. The color is lovely. I've had compliments on it.
I bought this because I wanted a non-reactive pot for tomato sauces. It works perfectly. The enamel is smooth and food releases easily. The pot is big enough for a large batch of marinara. The handles stay cool on the stove. It's a bit pricey, but it's Le Creuset.
Good pot, but the lid doesn't sit perfectly flush. There's a slight gap. However, it doesn't affect cooking. I use it for steaming seafood. Overall, solid.
I make a lot of bone broth, so I needed a huge pot. This one is perfect. It's a little heavy, but manageable. The olive color is unique. The quality is top-notch. Worth every penny.
