I have wanted a Le Creuset Enamel Cast Iron Dutch oven forever but the price is extraordinary. My kids sweetly knew my admiration for the company and surprised me with this beautiful, grey ombré, genuine Le Creuset casserole dish for my birthday. It is gorgeous! I'm not sure of the exact size of it but it's roughly a 9x13 ceramic dish about 3" deep.
The included lid is something I've never had with my everyday bakeware and will be so useful, I'm sure. The casserole dish is heavy and the finish is stunning. It is the perfect size and unlike any others I have in the kitchen so it's very handy. I have a dedicated lower shelf just for my new Le Creuset so it doesn't get chipped or broken and it's also kind of heavy to pull off of a higher shelf so a low one is much better.
So far I've made my macaroni and cheese in it and last night did scalloped potatoes. It was fabulous for both of those dishes and just the exact size for my recipes. Clean up was so easy (I am sure it could go in the dishwasher but I'm babying it and hand washing. I don't want to risk cracking the glaze or chipping the dish or lid).
I can't wait to make a scrumptious casserole or roast something requiring the lid. It may not be cast iron but this Le Creuset set is simply lovely and very versatile.
