Quality Craftsmanship

Handcrafted in France since 1925, Le Creuset's commitment to quality and durability is evident in every piece of cookware. This casserole is made from premium cast iron that ensures even heat distribution and excellent heat retention, so your food stays warm longer. The robust, easy-to-clean advanced sand interior enamel resists staining and wear, boasting improved durability with 35-40% more resistance to thermal shock and 24% greater resistance to enamel erosion. Designed for everyday use, it withstands even the toughest utensils and repeated dishwasher cycles, although handwashing is recommended to maintain its pristine condition.

Functional Design

The 26cm shallow casserole features a spacious, flat shape and shallow sides, which make it easier to achieve perfect browning and caramelization of your ingredients. It includes large, ergonomic handles that are designed for a firm grip, even when wearing oven mitts, making it easier to lift when full. The lid is engineered with built-in stabilizers for a tight fit that locks in moisture and enhances flavour, ensuring your meals are both succulent and delicious.

Whether you’re creating rich casseroles, tender one-pot roasts, or baking bread and cakes, the shallow casserole provides quick simmering capabilities while also excelling at slow cooking on medium-low heat. Its 2-litre capacity makes it perfect for serving 2-4 people, making it an ideal addition to your kitchen.
