Le Creuset Signature Enamelled Cast Iron Round Casserole Dish With Lid, 28 cm, 6.7 Litres, Matte Black, 21177280000430

Maravilhosa

I have been using this over the past week and already love it. I have been cooking every meal in it as its so versatile. It can be used on the hob and then transferred to the oven and you can even put it in the fridge if you have leftovers. The enamel resists food sticking to it and I found it easy to clean after use with a none abrasive sponge. The cast iron absorbs the heat and distributes it evenly, so you don't end up with hot spots. I went for the 28cm and I'd say it was the ideal size for a family of 3-4. Its also the perfect size for a standard 60cm wide oven/fridge, with enough room either side to hold the handles. There is loads of room inside for sweating down onions etc and the tall sides stop any bits escaping when stirring. The quality is outstanding as is to be expected for this price point. The lid is a perfect fit and holds in the steam well. Its also a lot lighter than cheaper cast iron casserole dishes, while still being thick enough to retain heat. Overall the fit and finish is superb and it also looks fantastic in the matte black I chose. Overall I am over the moon with this casserole dish and can see myself using this for many years. Its expensive, but I feel its worth it for the quality of the product and the lifetime warranty.

Le creuset, histoire de bonne cuisine .

Gran diseño, es menos pesada que otras. La utilizo para preparar platos de cocción lenta al horno y reparte el calor a la perfección. Al ser de hierro reparte el calor por paredes y tapa muy bien. Da un toque más gourmet a los guisos. Sale buenísimo!

Superb quality and usability, both on the (gas) hob and in the oven. Easily cleaned. Attractive in blue and good enough to serve at table. Worth the price. But it's a heavy pan if you are elderly with weak wrists, and in those circumstances you might want to test that in a store first.
