Description

It's easy to prepare enchiladas ahead of time in this classic, rectangular baking dish: take it right out of the freezer, put it in a cold oven, then heat as high as 500 degrees F. Or use the dish under the broiler or in the microwave. You can even serve directly from this colorful, pleasing cookware, making a statement with both food and style. The easy-to-clean enameled stoneware resists chipping and staining, and will not absorb odors or flavors. Its generous, sure-grip handles make it easy to carry a hot dish from oven to table. --Schuyler Ingle

Customer Reviews

Splits in 2!!
T. Fox

I have had this dish for less than a year and it split into two pieces after baking in it. I placed it from room temperature to a 325F oven (which hadn't even finished heating up) and baked for 30 minutes. I placed the dish onto a cork trivet when it was finished baking and it split right down the middle and popped open! I called customer service and they said it happens a lot and that it might not be covered under the warranty but if I would send it back to them they would either replace it or send me a coupon for a small discount for another item at their discretion. I have only used this pan a dozen times (or less) in about six months. I always hand wash it, I've never put it in the freezer. :( They tell me that this happens a lot with these pans and they recommend I put a cookie sheet UNDER the pan in case another cracks in the future (to protect my stove). Wow, thanks Le Crueset customer service representative. I read the instructions, I used it accordingly, and it breaks and you say it's because I preheated the oven!?! It only says don't put it from the FREEZER to a preheated oven!!!! They should specify room temperature may cause thermal cracking, too. No more Le Crueset stoneware for me!

Great Casserole dish

This is my favorite casserole dish, because it looks beautiful on the table but is absolutely functional throughout the cooking process. The dish is not enameled cast iron like the pots, but ceramic, which means it does not offer the same kind of heat absorption as cast iron, but does allow you to put it in the microwave, etc. (although don't put it on the stovetop!).

Upscale bakeware
E-Shopper

I purchased this item based on the good reviews. I was primarily interested in purchasing an attractive dish. The red dish looks great -- perfect for oven-to-table use. It was a pleasant surprise to find that food turns out so much better than with the Pyrex I was using. It bakes even and food stays moist. It is very easy to clean.
