Perfect for longer cuts of meat. Try roasting a chicken with the lid on for a succulent bird that falls off the bone and keeps your oven clean in the process. As versatile as the round casserole the oval cast iron casserole is also large enough to roast a whole leg of lamb and narrow enough to leave extra space in the oven for the trimmings. Now Le Creuset is proud to introduce the new Signature Oval Casserole. New features include easy-grip 45 larger handles easy clean toughened enamel interior a stylish heat resistant stainless steel knob and an enhanced tight-fitting lid. Suitable for use on all hob types including induction and in the oven the casserole makes a perfect serving dish too as cast iron keeps food warmer for longer at the table. Individually cast in sand moulds and hand crafted at the original French foundry since 1925 Le Creuset casserole dishes are protected by a Lifetime Guarantee for total peace of mind. Each casserole comes with a signature stainless steel knob ergonomically designed for a much better grip and easy lifting-even when wearing bulky oven gloves. Stylish and long lasting they add additional shine to Le Creuset Cast Iron Casseroles and are safe at any oven temperature.
