I use a Le Creuset 7.5 quart Dutch Oven to bake bread. I found out the hard way that the Phenolic Knob that's standard on all Le Creusets is only oven proof to 375F. At 500F is starts to make peculiar sparking noises. Really. However, I discovered that I could get a stainless steel replacement knob on Amazon for $10 including free shipping. Check it out:
