Signature Enamelled Cast Iron Round Casserole Dish With Lid, 30 cm, 8.1 Litres, Cerise, 21177300602430

I recently purchased the Le Creuset 28cm Dutch Oven, and I couldn’t be more impressed. The delivery was excellent, fast, secure, and the item was incredibly well-packaged, arriving in perfect condition. This Dutch oven is truly a universal piece of cookware. It’s perfect for everything from slow-cooked stews, curries, and soups to baking crusty bread or roasting a chicken. I’ve already used it to braise beef short ribs, make a rich tomato-based sauce, and even tried no-knead bread, each time, the results were fantastic. The even heat distribution and heat retention are unmatched. It works flawlessly on both the stovetop and in the oven, and the enamel interior means food doesn’t stick easily, making it ideal for browning meats before simmering. The 28cm size is generous enough to feed a family or meal prep in batches, without being unwieldy or difficult to handle. Care Tips: This pot does require a bit of mindful care to keep it in top condition. I always use wooden or silicone utensils to avoid damaging the enamel. It’s best to avoid sudden temperature changes (e.g., cold water on a hot pot), and while it’s dishwasher safe, I find that hand washing preserves the finish much better in the long run. Avoid using harsh scourers or abrasive cleaners, warm soapy water and a soft sponge do the trick. If you’re serious about cooking or just want to invest in one pot that can do it all and last for years (even decades), I can’t recommend this enough. It’s not just functional, it’s beautiful, too. An absolute staple in my kitchen. Why did you choose this product over others?: The reputation of the brand speaks for itself, versatile build and cooking quality and guaranteed to last a lifetime

Great size, heavy but well made. Really pleased, will hopefully last for many years to come

As expected, a well crafted casserole dish which is a pleasure to use. Cleans up like new and cooks without any hotspots unlike the cheap generic copy cat dishes used in the past. The only oversight from my side is the weight. The 28cm dish bought here is quite heavy so storing cooked foods in the fridge overnight needs a bit of planning to avoid storing at height or placing too much pressure on glass shelves. Easy solved with a bit of rearranging. Would definitely recommend as 100% worth every penny.

It’s a Le Creuset! Perfect casserole dish for slow cooking, “mijoter, mariner”, etc. It’s a real pleasure to use this cocotte, very easy to clean! Look beautiful on the stove and on the table directly! Highly recommended.

There's a reason it isn't cheap. The quality is great, fantastic colour, including on the bottom. The cook quality is great and retains heat so you can turn off the heat and let it finish off by itself. It is a little heavy

This Le Creuset casserole dish is excellent in terms of build quality, heat retention, and even cooking performance. The enameled cast iron feels durable, and it’s perfect for slow cooking, stews, and baking. The lid fits snugly, keeping moisture and flavors locked in. However, it is quite heavy, which might make handling a bit difficult, especially when full. Overall, it's a high-quality cookware piece that enhances the cooking experience, but be mindful of the weight if that’s a concern.

I bought this to replace a Le Creuset casserole I had had for many years. I am delighted with it, bought on a black Friday deal it was very good value. Casserole can be used on the hob and in the oven and is easy to clean. It is heavy, which may be an issue for some. I would highly recommend it for its versatility and good looks!

Really like, wash by hand with non scratch cloth.
