Description

Dinner for two with some leftovers? At 1-1/2 quarts, this is the perfect-size casserole. You can take it out of the freezer, pop it into a cold oven, and heat it up to as high as 500 degrees F. Or put it under the broiler, then use it in the microwave. You can even serve from this casserole, because it's Le Creuset, which is to say it's colorful and stylish. The baked-on interior and exterior enamel coating means this pot will not react with any acidic foods and is easy to clean by hand or in the dishwasher. --Schuyler Ingle

Customer Reviews

Technical data information

I contacted Le Crueset directly and they advised that this casserole is only safe for microwave and oven. Please see their email response below:From: "Consumer Service" To:Subject: RE: The Great Table Website EmailDate: Wed, 17 Dec 2003 10:17:44 -0500Hello,Thank you for your interest in Le Creuset. Poterie cannot be used on the stovetop, only in the microwave and in the oven. It is not designed for direct heat, if it used it will cause breakage to the item. If we can further assist you let us know.Consumer Relations Dept.

Incorrect Tech Data / Questionable quality

In addition to NOT being stovetop safe, as pointed out by a previous reviewer, the tech data also indicates country of origin: France. Mine was marked: Made in Tialand. It clearly is not up to the standards of my French produced pieces - main complaint is the poorly fitting lid - the top litterally skitters around on a 1/2" gap (horizontally) between the top and bottom lips - a very poor fit/tolerance. There are also several blemishes in the stoneware transalting into either dimples (innies) or pimples (outies) in the glaze finish - basically caused by impurities in the slurry mixture or poorly handled molds. Although none of this will impact the intended function of this baker / casserole, when one pays the big price for Le Creuset, one expects top notch form AND function. If all I expect is function I can drop a few bucks for Pyrex.

Rustic Baking Dish
Michela

This 1 1/2-Quart Round Casserole with Lid is a small but practical-sized dish to add to a Le Creuset collection. I'm a longtime collector of Le Creuset pots and pans, and 'flame' is my favorite color for them. I love the new Poterie stoneware line: baking dishes, ramekins, pitcher, and the crock for utensils. The colors are great, and they match the pots and pans perfectly. I use this red casserole dish when serving family-style at the table, and it's perfect for storing frozen or refrigerated casseroles for quick reheating on busy weeknights. These Poterie dishes coordinate especially well with Fiestaware dishes and serveware, and they make colorful additions to festive buffets. They are freezer-safe, microwave-safe, ovenproof up to 500 degrees F., and can go in the dishwasher.
