FREEZER-TO-OVEN USE: Do not place a frozen dish of food in a preheated oven. Place the frozen dish in a cold oven and set the temperature, allowing the dish and oven to heat together. Before serving always check that the center of the food is completely and uniformly hot. CLEANING: Before the first use, wash the dish in hot, soapy water, and rinse and dry thoroughly. For most day-to-day cleaning, cool the dish for a few minutes before washing and drying, or wash in the dishwasher, allowing the full cycle to complete. Never leave a dish fully immersed in water. For removal of stubborn residues allow the dish to cool, fill with warm, soapy water and allow it to soak for 10 to 20 minutes. Wash in the usual way using a plastic brush or scouring pad if necessary. Cream Catalana

Made in France since 1925

Devotees of the revered French brand 'Le Creuset' relish the early origins of this fine cookware made in France for over 85 years. A pedigree unsurpassed, made by dedicated experienced craftsmen, passionate about quality.There is a romantic notion when creating meals using cookware stamped `Made in France'.The two items I have just received are now stamped 'Made in Thailand' doesn't quite have the same ring to it somehow.***EDIT***Upon using this casserole for the first time, it made a loud cracking sound when I gradually added a room-temperature liquid when it was hot. On closer inspection, a hair-line crack has appeared running across the width of the casserole on both sides. I am not surprised given that the item is now manufactured in Thailand and feels half the weight of my existing French made Le Creuset cookware.

Good product but misleading size.....

So far this product has been great....we have made a couple of lasagne and used it as a roasting dish for veggies. The only gripe I have is that when we purchased it we thought we were getting a 10x15 dish. Wrong!! This dish is advertised by every other vendor selling it, as well as being labeled by Le Creuset, as a 9" x 13" dish. The reason Amazon gets away with this is that 10" x 15" is the outside dimension from tip of handle to tip of handle. The inside dimensions are 9" x 13"Very misleading labeling by Amazon!! You have been warned!!

I bought this roaster about a year ago and we have used it for so many meals! It was great for roasting duck and one-pot roast chicken dinners. I say was, because after the Mother's Day roast duck, I discovered two cracks in the pan from one side to the other - essentially splitting it in thirds. I kept the lid, thinking I could replace the pan and about two weeks ago, the knob popped off the lid. I am truly on the fence about replacing this well used (but not abused!) roaster -it worked so well and was so easy to clean. Part of me is saying this is a one-off and to just replace it, which I will probably do. Since the pan hasn't broken yet, I'm using it to store placemats on our outdoor table. (NOTE: I did not buy this roaster from Amazon, so I am have hope that it was a "second").
