Great for risotto, this super CAST IRON SHALLOW CASSEROLE (aka The 'BUFFET CASSEROLE'), from Le Creuset.
Approximate Capacity:3.2L
An old favourite of mine, the shallow wide base of this particular casserole, allows maximum contact between food and heat and the even heat retention enables cooking efficiency at low or medium temperatures, helping to conserve energy and keep fuel bills lower....particularly important in the current climate!
If you are looking for inspiration, Sue Cutts, one of Le Creuset's consultants, has a chapter dedicated to the use of the SHALLOW CASSEROLES in her book:-
The Cast Iron Way to Cook
and my current favourite recipe is:-
'Vegetable Casserole with Crispy Topping'
from page 29, which serves 4-6 as a main course or 6-8 as a starter/side dish.
Suitable for any hob-top or pop it in the oven, elegant enough to take directly to the dinner table, especially with the well-designed low lifting handles. Simply the perfect dish to brown off under a hot grill, too!
Easy to use and clean by hand, although some soaking may be required to remove the more stubborn stains.
Dishwasher safe.
Sturdily boxed, complete with CAST IRON use and care leaflet.
Currently available in:-
CERISE RED
GRANITE
VOLCANIC ORANGE
COBALT BLUE
BLACK
TEAL (aka CARIBBEAN)
along with the NEW COLOUR:-
CASSIS
Also available in a smaller and lighter 2L size, 26 cm

I have both the 26cm and 30 cm shallow casserole dishes. As you would expect from Le Creuset, they are easy to use on both the hob and in the oven (or both, depending on the recipe you use them for). As you would also expect of cast iron (enamelled interior), they are also fairly weighty when full.
The 26cm casserole is just about the right size to comfortably prepare a meal for two without the contents being in danger of spilling out if stirred on the hob. The 30cm is large enough to comfortably hold a meal for four. The 26cm fits nicely inside the 30cm, sitting on the lid of the former and thus the pair do not use up an awful lot of cupboard space, which is always a boon.
Cleaning is a breeze, they come up like new in the dishwasher or when washed by hand.
Mine both had sticky labels on the base; I mention this only because I remembered to remove one but not the second - the smoke alarm and a smell of chemical burning alerted me to my omission when the dish in question was otherwise happily cooking on the hob. Oops! Anyway, even the burnt label came off cleanly, so no harm done.

We live in France and were recommended this item by my daughter, who lives in the UK.
On our return, we tried to find it in France. Even tho' this is made by a French manufacturer, it is not available in France, nor is the range of colours that are available in the UK. The delivery was very rapid and the savings by Amazon-UK over equivalent products in France were great!
