Porcelain enamel coats this display-worthy casserole dish in a sea salt-inspired blend of blue, grey and green. The shallow oval shape accommodates fish, large cuts of meat or vegetables and roasts them to perfection. Or top the baking pan with the lid to bake deliciously moist casseroles. Cast iron offers impeccable heat distribution and retention, while the enameled surface minimizes sticking and staining. Designed with sloped sides for effortless serving, the covered casserole goes beautifully from stove to oven to table and cleans up easily in the dishwasher.Revered by both professional chefs and home cooks since its 1925 debut, Le Creuset's classic French cookware is prized for its utilitarian beauty and unsurpassed heat retention.
