What does the Le Creuset 5.5 quart Signature Series in Oyster Grey offer over the Regular Series? The Le Creuset Signature Series offers larger handles, 45% larger to be precise. The larger handles allow a firm grip, especially with oven mitts. The Signature Series also offer a larger composite knob. This knob withstands temperatures up to 480°F, instead of the normal 350°F. The last key feature the Signature Series has is an advanced sand-colored interior enamel. This advanced enamel has a greater resistance to wear than the Regular Series offers.
