Editorial Review: Product Description: With Le Creuset, you not only get an exceptional piece of cookery but also a handsome serving dish that you can carry right from the oven to the table. Our buffet casserole serves a one-pot, family-sized dish like a Mexican chicken and rice or a Cajun jambalaya. The pan is deep so it holds plenty of meat, poultry or seafood, plus vegetables or grains. It comes with two wide handles that provide balance when carrying plus a heavy, domed lid that helps seal in juices so your food is tender and moist. Oven-safe to 450 degrees F and dishwasher-safe. The buffet casserole holds 3.5-quarts.About Le Creuset...Since 1925, artisans have been crafting Le Creuset cookware in the French village of Fresnoy Le Grand. Each piece of Le Creuset cast iron cookware is handcast, polished, double enamel-coated and then fired, resulting in some of the finest quality cookware available. Cast iron is one of the best materials for distributing heat gently and thoroughly and is ideal for induction ranges. The strong enamel coating will not absorb odors or flavors, and is easy to clean. Heavy lids securely seal in moisture and flavor. Le Creuset cookware comes in a variety of sizes, colors and styles to match any kitchen and cooking preference. So lasting, you'll pass it on to the next generation of promising cooks. 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 12-1/4 by 14-1/2 by 5-1/4 inches. 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 Average Rating:
 Rating: - My Favorite PanTHIS IS BY FAR MY FAVORITE KITCHEN PAN. ~It is used for so many meals, from cooking eggs, sauces, roasting pan for meats, cooking down greens, heating tortillas, etc. We use it almost daily, as it seems to be the perfect size for most of our meals. ~I have used it for just over one year and it still look awesome. It cleans super easy. ~It is a bit heavy, so if you have a far amount of weakness in your hands or arms, you may not appreciate it as much. ~Heats excellently ... Read More Rating: - Blue Heaven (Cobalt of course)I wanted some "mid range" size enameled cast iron pots that would be a manageable weight and size and be OK when cooking for 2 with left over's, or occasionally 4-6 persons. The 4 ¼ Qt Le Creuset Soup Pot and the 3 ½ Qt Le Creuset Casserole are perfect. I'm planning to purchase a 7 1/4 Qt Le Creuset French Oven in addition. It's a similar weight and diameter to the Casserole, but (unlike the 5 1/2 Qt French oven) is significantly larger than the 4 1/4 Qt Soup Pot, so I feel it is a worthwhile ... Read More Rating: - versatile starter pieceAs seems the case with some other reviewers, this was my first piece of Le Creuset. It's wonderful for braising and easy to maintain. It has all of the benefits of uncoated cast iron, with an easy-to-clean enamel coating. While heavy, it is not unwieldy. It was my favorite piece (until the next piece, of course). Rating:  - Hard to CleanLe Creuset cast-iron products really conduct the heat and are great products to have in the kitchen. One drawback, they can be difficult to clean. If you sear meat or fry, burnt remnants cannot be removed. Overnight soaking will help but you cannot use soft scrub or hard scrubbers on the enamel. The product still functions well, it just does not look as nice as an expensive piece of cooking gear should be! Would buy it again. Rating: - A great starter piece or addition to your Le Creuset collectionLe Creuset manufactures porcelain enameled cast iron cooking vessels as well as other products. Le Creuset casts these cooking vessels from molten iron poured in sand moulds that are used only once. For this reason, one pot may look like another, but each is unique in its own way. Cast iron is a highly efficient material which absorbs and distributes heat efficiently. It is recommended that cooking with cast iron is done on low to medium heat. However, there are exceptions like boiling water ... Read More Browse for similar items by category:
