Perfect for a wide range of dishes from quick creamy risottos to tender, flavourful meat and vegetables or crisp, golden pies and tarts. The large flat shape and shallow sides of the cast iron shallow casserole make it perfect for browning meat and vegetables, simmering casseroles, stir-frying, baking, and serving at the table. Signature features include easy grip, 45% larger handles; easy clean, toughened enamel interior; a stylish, heat-resistant stainless steel knob, and an enhanced tight-fitting lid. Suitable for use on all hob types, including induction, and in the oven, the casserole makes a perfect serving dish too as cast iron keeps food warmer for longer at the table. Individually cast in sand molds and hand-crafted at the original French foundry since 1925, Le Creuset casserole dishes are protected by a lifetime guarantee for total peace of mind.
