5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect casserole dish for four to fourteen 8 May 2003
This cast iron casserole dish is heavy but something to treasure. The thick metal distributes heat evenly across the base when on the hob and the close fitting lid keeps the dishes moist after hours of slow cooking in the oven. Even out of the oven the dish retains heat well.
Surprisingly even after the six years since we received it as a wedding present the surface wipes clean and is perfectly presentable on the table top.
The dish requires two hands to lift but is not unwieldy and manages small and large portions equally well.

5.0 out of 5 stars Le Creusetastic! 18 April 2007
By Mr. A. Sands VINE™ VOICE
I bought this when it was on a clearance sale on this site for around £50. What a bargain! If you're looking at this, then you are obviously aware of the quality associated with Le Creuset, and want to purchase a serious piece of kit for your kitchen.

This is awesome. It is so versatile and can be used on practically any hob surface, and can also be put straight into the oven after being on the hob! Personally I have found it has revolutionised my cooking, as I now use it for practically everything I cook! The lid on this also (when positioned correctly) fits the pot perfectly, and prevents any steam from escaping. I was cooking a tomato sauce the other day with the lid on, and after half an hour, it was still as wet as I wanted it! Without such a well fitting lid, most of the water would have just boiled away. (Which I didn't want to happen in that instance).

Not only is it practical, but it also stylish as well. The classic orange Le Creuset cast iron pans/pots are extremely iconic, and have a timeless look. Sometimes I will use this to cook something on the hob, put it in the oven, and then take to the table for people to serve from, and it looks great! Not only that, but they will last forever as well. A friend of mine has her mum's and it is about 30 years old but is still going strong! Regardless of whether you purchase this in a sale or not, it is still going to be an expensive piece of kit. Don't be shy about buying it though as you will use it a lot.

5.0 out of 5 stars Quality pot that keeps things HOT!!!!!!!!!! 14 April 2003
Both myself and my wife do the cooking so it was an investment in buying this product, however it seems to have payed off. Since using this and finding how easy it was to make things 'all in the one dish' my wife has decided that she will do the majority of the cooking. It keeps things hot for ages and you can tell you are buying quality cause it wieghs an absolute ton! Believe me it is well worth the money and it creates less hassle when cooking dishes as you can just leave it in the oven and forget about it....perfect!

5.0 out of 5 stars le creuset cast iron casserole 4 Jan 2013
By mike
Amazon Verified Purchase
We have been le creuset users for nearly all of our 42 years of married life. Their kitchen ware is fantastic, but does seem expensive. However when you consider our pans are 35 years old and look brand new, their actual cost versus/long life is fantastic value for money.
We can reccomend their products to anyone.

Le Creuset casserole is excellent,a real joy to use either in or on the oven, and easily cleaned, the oval casserole is 230mm wide and not 270mm as advertised, even Le Creuset got this wrong! it is 270mm long x 230mm wide, so it fits the electric side oven on our Rangemaster oven

5.0 out of 5 stars Le Creuset Cast Iron Casserole Dish 4 Jun 2012
By Patmay

Le Creuset is known for its quality and style and this is no exception. Being an oval shape it would fit on a small table equally well as in a small oven or stove I think. The recipients sent me a glowing report on their first casserole so was pleased that it lived up to expectations. Good delivery and packaging.

4.0 out of 5 stars B*&&%# expensive but good 1 Jun 2012
Amazon Verified Purchase
We've had one of these for years and I managed to drop it so that it cracked - I had forgotten how much they cost.... Anyway no question about replacing it, just the best oven/hob to table casserole we have ever had. I still think the price is taking the p*** for a lump of, admittedly well cast and enameled, cast iron, but hey ho it is quality. The only reason it isn't 5* is 'cos of the price.
Makes a great present for anyone who enjoys cooking and doesn't have one.
