Product Description

Amazon.com Review

Beautiful enough to bring to the table and durable enough to outlive its 101-year warranty against defects, this heavy casserole is perfect for preparing and ceremoniously serving a dish such as baked pasta or braised short ribs. Use it in the oven or on the stovetop. Made of cast iron, with an exterior and interior clad in Le Creuset's famous bright enamel, the casserole holds 3-1/2 quarts and measures 12 inches in diameter and 2-1/2 inches high without the lid. Cast iron is unexcelled for heat distribution and retention, so this casserole cooks foods evenly and gently without hot spots. The knob on its heavy, tight-fitting lid is ovenproof to 450 degrees F. Loop handles facilitate carrying, and the casserole is dishwasher-safe. Like all Le Creuset products, this casserole dish is made in France. --Fred Brack

This casserole accommodates everything from a whole roaster chicken (ok, a smaller one) to duck confit to risotto. I appreciate being able to use this pot on the range and in the oven . . . great for Osso Bucco! It's nice for entertaining and for slow cooking. Highly recommended!

I can't beleive anyone would just use this for serving - it's a very useful size, great for searing meats and then roasting in the oven, rice dishes, etc. The pan is not heavy, the lid is a killer, but I think that helps in braising.
