Versatile all-rounder
Perfect for one-pot recipes for busy lives, as well as casseroles slow-cooked over time, this all-rounder makes fragrant rice and pilaf dishes, stuffed vegetables, soups, golden-roasted potatoes and even bakes bread. The tight-fitting lid keeps the oven clean and is perfect when proving dough to create heart-shaped loaves. The easy-release interior suits baking. Use on the hob, including induction, in the oven, on an Aga, under the grill, on a barbecue or even on an open fire.
Retains heat and moisture
Made from robust cast iron, this casserole’s weight is its strength. A solid performer, it distributes heat evenly and retains heat to save energy. It best operates on a low-to-medium setting. Transfer from oven to table and it will keep dishes warm for longer. The domed lid increases space and returns moisture to the pot to prevent dishes drying out. You need only a little oil for cooking thanks to the sand enamel interior that prevents sticking and burning. Adding a touch of water makes it ideal for steaming too.
Easy to carry and clean
The lightest cast iron on the market, this much-loved kitchen staple features handles that are easy to grip with oven gloves. Stabilisers under the lid give a secure, no-slide fit while the lid’s heat-resistant, heart-shaped knob is ergonomically shaped for the hand. Almost like non-stick, the toughened enamel interior is easy to wipe clean. It’s also hygienic and won’t absorb odours and flavours.
Built to last
Designed for longevity, this quality kitchen favourite makes a wonderful wedding gift, to be enjoyed for many memorable meals to come. Handcrafted by skilled artisans at the original Le Creuset foundry in France since 1925, each piece is made from its own sand mould, making it entirely unique. It resists chipping and cracking and retains its colour over time. All Le Creuset cast iron comes with a lifetime guarantee.

- Wash the pan in hot, soapy water, then rinse and dry thoroughly
- Cooking on a medium or low heat gets the best results, even for frying and searing
- Let the product heat up gradually for great-tasting food that's cooked evenly. If you need to use a higher heat, lower the setting once the desired heat has been reached
- Le Creuset Silicone tools or wooden/heat-resistant plastic tools are recommended
- For best results, use an appropriately sized ring for even cooking and to reduce the risk of damage to the product
- Sand enamel surface is not ideal for dry cooking. Recommended oils to use are vegetable, rapeseed and sunflower oil
- Never drag your product across a glass surface. Always lift to move to prevent damage
- Oven and grill safe up to 260°C. Allow a minimum distance of 6.5cm when grilling
- Always use oven gloves when handling hot products
- Allow product to cool before cleaning. If washed too quickly, thermal shock may occur, resulting in cracking or loss of enamel
