Amazon.com Product Description

Sleek and stylish, this covered round casserole by Le Creuset brings both beauty and versatility to any kitchen collection. The 3-3/4-quart circular dish, which measures 11 inches in diameter, works well for recipes containing more liquid, making scooping and serving easier without the sharp corners of a square or rectangular design. Use it for anything from lentil soup or tomato bisque to hearty stew or vegetarian chili.

Made from durable stoneware, the casserole provides a hard-wearing, impermeable finish fired at temperatures as high as 2192 degrees F. With a porosity level of less than 1 percent, the dish blocks moisture absorption, so there's no chipping, cracking, crazing, or rippling along the interior to worry about. Its non-porous construction also resists odors, scratching, and staining for hygienic use and optimal cooking performance. Even more, its high-quality enamel protects against metal marks and other damage, which means it's safe for cutting on with knives. Best of all, the glaze on the exterior makes the dish fun to mix and match with other coordinating Le Creuset pieces (sold separately), while a neutral-colored glaze on the inside offers an optimal palette for food presentation. And thanks to its unmatched thermal resistance from -65 degrees F to 500 degrees F, the dish moves gracefully from the microwave or oven (or under the broiler) to the table for serving to the refrigerator or freezer for storing leftovers. The casserole includes a secure-fitting lid with a round-shaped knob to help trap heat and moisture, and its integrated sure-grip side handles facilitate steady transport. When finished, the casserole cleans up easily by hand or in the dishwasher.

Product Description

Marinate, cook and serve foods in this all-in-one versatile pan, then use it to store leftovers in the refrigerator or freezer. Glazed stoneware, with an unglazed base, allows maximum heat absorption and retention so foods stay warmer at the table. Durable non-porous, enameled surfaces are resistant to chips, cracks and scratches, and clean easily, too. The mainstay of French chefs for nearly a century, Le Creuset cookware features bold and bright colors in a variety of shapes and sizes to suit any culinary need. Each enameled stoneware piece is skillfully finished by hand.

This review is from: Le Creuset Stoneware 4-Quart Covered Round Casserole, White (Kitchen)

This casserole is very sturdy, made of heavy material, looks great, has a smooth surface inside and out, has a lid that fits quite well, can be used in the oven or the microwave, has good handles on both the pot and the lid, and cleans easily (dishwasher safe). Got this to replace an old Pyrex casserole after my wife read reports of Pyrex shattering. The Le Creuset is expensive but much nicer in every regard.
