The Signature Enamelled Cast Iron Round Casserole Dish is described as a culinary classic. The Le Creuset casserole has been cherished by cooks worldwide for nearly a century. Perfectly designed for stews, roasts, soups, casseroles and baking, this iconic piece is a one-stop pot for memorable meals with an intense depth of mouth-watering flavour.
Equipped with a heat-resistant knob (up to 260°C) designed to provide a better grip, even when using oven gloves to lift the lid, the pot features large handles that allow for easy movement from the hob to the oven to the table, even when wearing oven gloves.
Armed with a light enamel interior that facilitates easier cleaning, this cast iron pot has been designed to fit seamlessly inside the oven, on the hob, induction cooktop, or under the grill. The cast iron construction retains heat for even cooking and browning, so your delicious creations will also stay warmer at the table for longer.
Plus, you can lock in the moisture with its tight-fitting lid, which helps boost moisture and enhances flavour, for perfectly cooked food. Available in a range of colours and sizes, the Le Creuset Casserole Dish allows you to add a pop of vibrant hues to your kitchen, ensuring your kitchenware perfectly matches your interior aesthetic and culinary needs.
It’s worth noting that the £70 refers to the orange colourway in size 20cm; prices may vary depending on the chosen colour or size. Or, if you don’t mind paying full price, you can head to Le Creuset’s own website to find the same Casserole Dish. Or head to John Lewis, where the same pot is available for £225, though stock is limited.
For cheaper alternatives, Amazon offers the Overmont 24cm/4.2L Enamelled Cast Iron Round Casserole Pot with Lid for £35.49, or Dunelm stocks the Cast Iron Casserole Dish for the equally affordable price of £38.
Meanwhile, shoppers can’t stop raving about this Le Creuset icon, with 5-star reviews pouring in. One thrilled buyer beams: “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.”
They add: “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.”
More praise comes from this shopper who enthuses: “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.”
And a third chimes in: “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.”
Though one shopper provides a balanced argument, writing: “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.”
