"Casserole", "French Oven" or "Dutch Oven" are all names given to describe the same piece. It may also, in more general terms, be called a casserole dish. Essentially, it is a sturdy cast iron cooking pot, round or oval, with a very close fitting lid. The lid fit is important as it needs to sit well on the rim so that it forms a seal, enclosing the contents in an atmosphere of moisture that will always result in succulent well-flavoured food. This is exactly what Le Creset have been perfecting for over 75 years.
Fired at temperatures of 840 °, the super smooth enamel finish of Le Creuset cast iron is durable and hygienic. Which means that everything you stew, braise or simmer in a Le Creuset casserole will taste just as good as you intended. And it means that your dishes will keep looking good from the hob to the oven, from the oven to the table (and from the table to the dishwasher). All Le Creuset casserole dishes come with a lifetime guarantee.
