Cast iron is one of the best materials for distributing heat gently and thoroughly and is ideal for induction ranges. The strong enamel coating will not absorb odors or flavors, and is easy to clean. Heavy lids securely seal in moisture and flavor. Le Creuset cookware comes in a variety of sizes, colors and styles to match any kitchen and cooking preference.

Le Creuset Mortar & Pestle:
This is another piece that is very well made and functional. Nice to look at, too.
Small but pretty.:
I can't say this is misrepresented. It does hold 10 fluid ounces at it's capacity. It will not hold 10 oz. with the pestle in it. I bought it for making pesto and it's not going to be big enough for that. It is pretty and for grinding spices it will be fine. I wish they would make a larger one and I would buy it.
