The Le Creuset Enamelled Cast Iron Casserole: A Classic for Nearly a Century

For nearly a century, the Le Creuset casserole has enchanted cooks and chefs around the world. Made from enamelled cast iron in Le Creuset factories in France, it is the inseparable ally for preparing stews, roasts, soups and braised dishes, or for cooking in the oven to perfection. With a capacity of 3.3 L and compatibility with all heat sources — gas, electric, vitreous, induction and oven in grill mode — it meets the needs of professional kitchens and passionate home cooks.

Why Choose the Le Creuset Enamelled Cast Iron Casserole

Uniform and Constant Heat

Enamelled cast iron retains and distributes heat exceptionally well, allowing you to sear and cook uniformly. Cooking on low or medium heat yields the best results, preserving flavours and juiciness. Your creations will stay warm longer, even at the table.

The Lid That Enhances Flavours

The lid traps the steam generated during cooking, intensifying flavours and guaranteeing extraordinary results. The knob is heat-resistant up to 260 °C, perfect for lifting even with an oven mitt.

Large Handles for Safe Movement

The large ergonomic handles allow you to move the casserole from stovetop to table in complete safety, even while wearing oven gloves. Elegance and functionality meet in every detail.

Quick Cleaning Thanks to the Enamelled Surface

The thin internal enamelled layer reduces food adhesion and simplifies daily cleaning. For stubborn residue, simply soak for 15–20 minutes in warm soapy water.

A Rainbow of Colours, A Masterpiece of Style

Available in a wide choice of colours — the classic Volcanic, the understated Marseille, and many others — the Le Creuset casserole adds an unmistakable touch of style to any kitchen. Best in Class: made with the finest materials, it is synonymous with quality without compromise.
