Amazon.com Product Description

For recipes that call for a crisp topping, this classic au gratin dish provides a wide, shallow cooking area that offers more exposure to heat, while its cast-iron construction makes it useful for everything from deglazing to baking. The oval-shaped dish, which measures approximately 9 by 6 by 1-1/2 inches and holds up to a quart, makes it easy to beautifully present delicious potatoes au gratin as a side for dinner or bubbling fruit cobbler for dessert.

Like other pieces in Le Creuset's line of enameled cast iron, the cookware's exterior features a colorful, long-lasting enamel that resists chipping and cracking, while its durable, nonreactive sand-colored enamel interior offers a smooth surface for cooking and an optimal palette for food presentation. As cast iron is unexcelled for even heat distribution and superior heat retention, and enamel is impervious to acids and odors, the dish cooks food uniformly and gently without hot spots and can be used for cooking on the stovetop or finishing in the oven. The cookware also provides traditional scalloped side handles for a secure grip, and it can be safely used at any oven temperature, under the broiler, and on any stovetop, including induction. Best of all, it moves gracefully from the oven to the table for serving to the refrigerator or freezer for storing leftovers. The cookware carries a lifetime limited warranty and should be hand washed for best results.

Product Description

Forged and crafted by hand since 1925, Le Creuset Enameled Cast Iron cookware is a masterpiece. Each pieces is formed in its own sand mold and skillfully hand finished by more than 30 craftsmen. The result is a superior quality cookware that will provide a lifetime of everyday use.

5.0 out of 5 stars Small, but Good, March 8, 2007

I agree with the previous reviewer: this is small. I also got mine on sale. But I use it often to bake small amounts of vegetables (like a few roast carrots or potatoes). It's nice when I want a small side dish to go with dinner--just toss the vegetables in olive oil, add salt, and throw it in the oven. And because of the enameled coating, this pan cleans up like a breeze :)

There's a reason Le Creuset's classic combination of enamel over cast iron is still in production: IT WORKS. I love everything about this pan: the oval au gratin creates a large surface on which to create a beautiful crust on whatever dish you are making, while the heavy bottom protects the tender insides from charring. The 1-quart size is perfect when cooking for two. I only wish I had found this one sooner.

3.0 out of 5 stars Smaller than I thought, October 6, 2006

This review is from: Le Creuset Heritage Enameled Cast-Iron 1-Quart Oval Au Gratin, Flame (Kitchen)

Bought this on sale for 30 dollars. When I opened the box I was quite surprised at how small this realy is. Make sure you draw yourself a picture based on the given dimensions to get an idea of the actual size. To be honest, I do not understand why would anyone want to bake on such small dish, unless you are single or you want to prepare meals on individual dishes for each family member/guest. Never tested it, I expect quality to be good as most other Le Creuset products. Sold mine on ebay and almost recuperated my money. Hope this helps.
