The Le Creuset Signature Round Casserole’s design yields moist, tender results for slow-simmered soups and stews. Renowned for its excellent heat retention, the casserole requires no seasoning and is suitable for both stovetop and oven use. This versatile kitchen staple can be used for more than just comfort foods — experiment with no-knead bread or even use it to bake a cake. 1.8 litre round cast iron casserole Perfect for simmering tender and succulent one-pot casseroles, preparing a risotto or a pot roast, serving a hot soup or a cold gazpacho, boiling pasta or vegetables and stewing fruit Even heat distribution as the base, sides and lid are of equal thickness, preventing hotspots or heat loss Casseroles retain heat once warm and can continue cooking on a lower heat setting, making it energy efficient Perfectly fitted lid ensures that heat, moisture and flavours are tightly sealed in Oversized handles ensure an even weight distribution and give a secure grip Base will never warp, maintaining the pot's stability Great for keeping food warm while serving at the table, holding foods that are marinating or storing foods (raw or cooked) in the fridge or freezer Durable enamel coating is hygienic, doesn't retain odours and is easy to clean Phenolic lid knob is heat resistant up to 260°C Suitable on all stove top surfaces and inside the oven Oven, grill, freezer and dishwasher safe Specifications Dimensions: 25.4cm x 19.3cm x 13.4cm Weight: 2.57kg Capacity: 1.8L Features Heat source: Gas, Oven, Halogen, Electric, Induction, Ceramic Glass Care Instructions Dishwasher safe Before first use, make sure to remove any labels and wash your Le Creuset product in warm, soapy water; then rinse and dry thoroughly How to Cook with Your Casserole: Always use oven gloves when handling anything hot It is recommended to use Lew Creuset Silicone Tools or wooden/heat resistant plastic tools. Metal utensils may be used with care, but they should not be used harshly or scraped over the cooking surface as this may cause damage Use the product on the most appropriately sized hob ring — it’ll make your food cook more evenly and reduce the risk of damage to the handles and sides. This is especially important on induction hobs: if you use the wrong-sized ring, there’s a risk the hob won't ‘recognise’ the product Cooking on a medium or low heat gets the best results — even for frying and searing. Let the casserole heat up gradually for great tasting food that’s cooked evenly. If you do need to use a higher heat, lower the setting once the desired heat has been reached Never slide the casserole on any glass-topped hob/stove top, as this may cause damage to the casserole base and the glass. Instead, always lift the casserole on and off, or across the surface How to Clean Your Casserole: Wait for your casserole to cool down before you start cleaning it Wipe any leftovers off the base and sides of the product. If there’s food stuck on, fill the casserole with warm, soapy water and let it soak for 15 to 20 minutes before washing as usual Do not use abrasive cleaning agents, metal scourers, or very stiff cleaning pads or brushes on any of the surfaces Dry thoroughly after washing and store in a dry place   Warranty Info Cast Iron French Ovens & Cocottes All French Ovens & Cocottes carry a lifetime replacement/repair guarantee from manufacturing defects/flaws.
