Product Description
Manufacturer's Description
As Le Creuset celebrates 85 years of Cast Iron cookware, a new star is born as Le Creuset reveals a unique new look to Cast Iron with the introduction of a stunning, Pearlescent finish – a first in cookware. The new Midnight Blue range has a subtle sparkle in its Pearlescent finish that guarantees this cookware will be the star of the kitchen.
Le Creuset Cast Iron is iconic and the company’s enamelling techniques are unrivalled. Le Creuset was the first company to introduce graded colours on cast iron and is now the first to develop this sparkling, Pearlescent finish. Kitchen connoisseurs, who desire exceptional cooking performance combined with exquisite design, will appreciate the sophistication of this striking finish and colourway.
Le Creuset’s Midnight Blue Collection offers six casseroles in various sizes to suit different portions – Round Casseroles in 20 cm, 24 cm and 28 cm sizes; Oval Casseroles in 25 cm and 29 cm sizes and a 30 cm Shallow Casserole. All lids feature a stainless steel knob that is a striking contrast to the Midnight Blue colour.
Welcome to Midnight Blue
Each piece of Le Creuset’s Midnight Blue collection comes with a ‘Welcome Pack’. The pack contains three inspiring recipes that are sure to impress your dinner party guests. Use the shallow casserole for a Frutti de Mare Risotto with fresh rocket; the oval casserole for a taste of the Mediterranean, Spanish Chicken with chorizo, olives and herbs and for dessert, use the round casserole for Peaches Poached in Sauternes with honey cream and brandy snaps.
The Midnight Blue Collection is an investment to be cherished, so to ensure your Midnight Blue continues to shine in the kitchen, Le Creuset has also included a bottle of their enamelled cookware cleaner.
This range comes with a lifetime guarantee, offers superb heat retention for a superior cooking performance and is suitable on all hob types. Cast Iron is super versatile as it can be used in the oven, under the grill, on the hob and then looks beautiful when presented at the dining table.
This round dish is ideal for casseroles, stews, roasting and perfect for preparing soups and rice dishes, even for baking cakes. The cast iron casserole is the essential kitchen classic from Le Creuset, suitable for all heat sources.
Fired at temperatures of 840 degrees Celsius, the smooth enamel finish of Le Creuset cast iron is durable and hygienic. This means that everything you stew, braise or simmer in a Le Creuset piece will taste just as good as you intended. It also means your dishes will keep looking good from the hob to the oven, from the oven to the table (and from the table to the dishwasher).
Cast Iron Facts
Suitable for use in the oven, on the hob and under the grill. Cast iron can also be used on all heat sources, including Aga’s and induction hobs. It can withstand temperatures up to 190 degrees Celsius. It’s excellent heat retention qualities mean that only low to medium heats are needed to ensure even heat distribution.
Le Creuset Cast Iron
Hand made in France since 1925, each piece is made from a unique mould into which molten iron is poured, this creates a unique piece, which is, then hand finished and subjected to strict quality checks. Le Creuset offers a lifetime guarantee on all cast iron (except non-stick items which carry a 10-year guarantee). You will feel the difference as our cast iron is 9 percent lighter than the leading competitor and with a perfectly flat base it is great for all hobs including glass and ceramic. It also distributes heat more evenly ensuring there are no ‘hot spots’.
Hygienic
The enamel cooking surface is completely hygienic and impervious to flavours and odours. It is perfect to hold foods that are marinating or for storing foods (raw or cooked) in the refrigerator or freezer. The interior is a smooth gloss finish in a sand colour. The interior will clean easily by hand or by dishwasher.
Adaptability
Ceramic, halogen or induction hobs, gas, electric, solid fuel or Aga/Rayburn Le Creuset cast iron will work excellently on all. Whether you are sautéing, grilling, baking, roasting or stewing there is a pot, pan or dish to suit your needs. Most pieces can go on the oven, in the oven or under the grill and importantly if you change your cooking hob you do not need to change your pans. Le Creuset cookware is available in a wide range of colours that will suit both your kitchen and dining table.
Energy Efficient
Once hot you will require only a low to medium heat setting to maintain a good cooking performance, they can even be removed from the heat leaving the food to cook in it’s own heat. These heat retention properties mean that a Le Creuset dish will keep warm for longer at the table.
Care and Use:
Before first use: remove all labels. Wash the pan in hot soapy water, rinse and dry thoroughly. Pans with enamelled cooking surfaces are now ready for use and require no further preparation.
Heat Sources: Le Creuset cast iron cookware can be used on all heat sources. Gas, electric solid or radiant plates, vitroceramic glass, induction, and ranges fired by gas, oil, coal or wood. When using on any glass stovetops always follow the manufacturer’s guidance for use of your cookware. Never drag pans across the glass, but lift on and off, or from one heat zone to another. The enamel surfaces are not suitable for dry cooking. Your choice of liquid, oil, fat or butter should completely cover the base before heating begins.
Oven Temperatures: For black phenolic lid knobs and handles a maximum temperature of 190 degrees Celsius, 375 degrees Fahrenheit or Gas 5 (Europe gas setting 6). For products with integral cast iron handles or stainless steel knobs the maximum oven use temperature is 230 degrees Celsius / 450 degrees Fahrenheit / Gas Mark 8 (Europe gas setting 9).
Range Stoves with Cast Iron Oven Linings: Do not place any cookware on the floor of these ovens. Cook only on the racks provided. Integral cast iron handles or stainless steel knobs will become hot during stovetop as well as oven use. Use a dry, thick cloth, or Le Creuset oven mitts, for handling these at all times.
How to use:
Medium and low heats will provide the best results for the majority of cooking, including frying and searing. Allow the pan to heat gradually and thoroughly, as this will give the most even and efficient cooking results. Once the pan is hot almost all cooking can be continued on lower settings.
High heats should only be used for boiling water for vegetables or pasta, or for reducing the consistency of stocks and sauces. High heats should never be used to pre-heat a pan before lowering the heat for cooking. Cast iron retains heat so well that if a pan is overheated in this way it will contribute to poor cooking results, sticking and discolouration of cooking surfaces.
Match the pan base to the heat zone to maximize efficiency and prevent overheating of pan sides or damage to handles. Long handles should be positioned safely so that they do not overhang the front of your stovetop, or over other heat zones. Do not heat an empty pan or allow a pan to boil dry. Either may cause permanent damage to the enamel and pan.
For stirring comfort and surface protection use Le Creuset heat resistant silicone utensils, heat resistant plastic or wooden tools. Occasional use of metal utensils may leave silver trail marks over the surface. Do not knock metal utensil on the rims of cookware, this will eventually damage the enamel.
Note: Do not cut foods directly on any enamel surface.
Place hot pans on Le Creuset silicone mats, wooden boards, or trivets. Never place a hot pan directly on an unprotected surface. We recommend using Le Creuset oven mitts for lifting hot pans at all times.
Electric hand held beaters or mixers should not be used in any cookware. Permanent damage to all surfaces will be caused.
After use always cool a pan for a few minutes before washing in hot soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly. Do not fill a hot pan with cold water or plunge into cold water as thermal shock damage to the enamel may occur.
If there are food residues fill the pan with warm water and leave to soak for 15 – 20 minutes, then wash in the usual way. Nylon or soft abrasive pads or brushes can be used to remove stubborn residues. Do not use metallic pads, or harsh abrasive cleaning agents, as these will damage the enamel and polished trims.
Light stains or metal trail marks (caused by metal tools) can be removed with Le Creuset Cookware cleaner. An occasional conditioning clean with this product will also retain the new appearance and polish of your pans.
Cleaning
All pans with integral cast iron, phenolic handles, or stainless steel lid knobs, can be washed in the dishwasher. When using the dishwasher always allow the cycle to complete before opening the door. This will ensure the pans are dried thoroughly.
Maintain the tightness of all handles and knobs by checking and re-tightening them regularly. Le Creuset enamelled cast iron is extremely durable, but it may be damaged if accidentally dropped or knocked against a hard surface.

I love my le creuset casserole pan! It is a fantastic colour! I can fit joints in it, or big stews and casseroles. Perfect for every growing family.

Although I am very please with the cooking results, I must say I was disappointed with the colour 'Midnight Blue' my next Le creuset will be a nicer colour. Also on the inside of the lid some of the enamel has come off around the wording, I now this doesn't affect performance, but didn't expect that after 3 uses. The only other quibble is the size, this size is really big, I didn't think it would be so huge.
What else is new besides the incredible Midnight blue ? Cooking in a Le Creuset is always a moment of pleasure followed by another that comes when enjoying the results ! And now on top of the rest, looking at this color brings extra pleasure to the eyes while cooking and eating ! Couldn't help putting it on the table for all the previous reasons and share it with my guests !
