Our Best Pan,
This review is from: Le Creuset Enameled Cast-Iron 5-Quart Buffet Casserole, Dune (Kitchen)
I bought this casserole last year after debating over all of the Le Creuset pots and casseroles on which one would be the most versatile - and believe me, this casserole is the one! It handles any kind of stovetop cooking with ease (it's a FABULOUS risotto pan) and it goes into the oven with no problems, lid or no lid. It also serves as a beautiful pan to bring to the table but be sure to put something under it to protect your table surface because this pan is cast iron and retains heat very well. It is incredibly heavy but it's performance easily makes up for that. Be sure to follow the manufacturer insrtuctions (hand wash and dry immediately, no metal utensils, and no harsh scrubbing) and your pan will certainly become your new favorite piece of cookware you own.

This review is from: Le Creuset Enameled Cast-Iron 5-Quart Buffet Casserole, Dune (Kitchen)
A great pan, as usual with Le Creuset, but VERY HEAVY. Our household is used to Le Creuset (the 7-quart round is probably our most-used size), but this 5-quart and it's lid are deemed extraordinarily heavy. We use it, and we're glad to have it, but wouldn't recommend it for weaklings.

This review is from: Le Creuset Buffet Casserole (Kitchen)
I bought the very wide 5 quart size with some trepidation, since we usually cook just for the two of us. To my surprise we use it all the time. Even cooking for two, very often you'd like to be able to cook something in a single layer in the pan. For instance, in this wide pan you can braise an entire bunch of asparagus spread out in one layer. The iron conducts the heat out to the edges. Perfect.
Our kitchen is black, white and stainless, like many. If yours is like that I highly recommend the Flame color. I thought it might be too strong and it's not. It's warm and happy. This was our first Le Creuset pan and we have continued with that color. As for the pan being heavy, I'm not sure it is heavier than a big round casserole, but it is less stable to carry because it is wider and shallower. If you have it full of a stew, yes, you might want to plate that dish from the stove :-) I also carry the lid separately if at all. When you preheat the pan, if you will be using the lid preheat the lid too. Putting the heavy cold lid on something you are cooking sucks up a lot of the heat until the lid warms up. Baking powder can be helpful for cleaning the enamel without scratching or hazing, inside or out. Avoid cleansers, green scotchbrite, metal tools. Pink scotchbrite is fine. 2115|R39CA2ZZI5P5ME;2115|R3NQ84EO5XKUM0;2115|R383LYZSHBP1YY;
