Design and Durability

Crafted from premium-quality cast iron, this casserole showcases a stunning deep teal color and a smooth enamel finish. The advanced sand interior enamel is engineered to resist staining and offers remarkable durability, making it 35-40% more resistant to thermal shock than traditional enamel. Additionally, it withstands mechanical shock by being 16% more resistant to chipping from utensils, and it is 24% more resistant to enamel erosion. This ensures that the casserole remains looking beautiful even after heavy use, with less absorption of food colors and enhanced resistance to dishwasher use.

Versatile Cooking Capacity

With a large and flat shape complemented by shallow sides, the casserole is ideal for browning meats and vegetables, simmering casseroles, or baking delicious tarts and pies. Its generous capacity of 2 liters easily serves 2-4 people, making it ideal for both cozy family meals and entertaining guests. The engineered lid fits snugly, featuring built-in stabilizers that help lock in moisture and enhance the flavors of your cooking.

Ergonomic Features

The Le Creuset casserole is designed with user-friendliness in mind. It features large, easy-grip handles that provide excellent leverage for lifting and handling, even when wearing oven mitts. The ergonomic stainless steel knob adds a touch of sophistication while also being durable enough for everyday use.

Compatibility and Care

This cast iron casserole is compatible with all hob types, including induction, gas, halogen, ceramic, and even open flames. It's also safe for use in the oven and under the grill. While it is dishwasher-safe, hand washing is recommended to maintain its pristine condition.
