Le Creuset Stoneware Heritage Covered Rectangular Casserole, 4 qt., Peche

Fellow culinary enthusiasts, let me introduce you to the Le Creuset Stoneware Heritage Covered Rectangular Casserole in Cerise. It's the kitchen companion that not only delivers delicious results but also garners tons of compliments.Out of the box, its radiant Cerise hue is akin to spotting a vibrant sports car in a parking lot filled with sensible sedans. It's bold, eye-catching, and undeniably chic. Let's just say it adds an unexpected pop of personality to my kitchen.But let's dive into its true brilliance - its performance. I christened mine with a roasted butternut squash and caramelized onion lasagna, and it handled the task like a seasoned chef. The depth allowed for luscious layering, the stoneware promised uniform cooking (and delivered), and the lid—oh, the lid! It's like the cherry on top of an already perfect sundae. No more fussing with foil, just pop it on and let the magic happen.The true joy of this casserole lies not only in its functionality but also in the reactions it elicits. I brought the lasagna in the Le Creuset to a Christmas potluck last night, and the compliments flowed as freely as the wine—both for the flavor of the food and the exquisite dish it was presented in. Trust me, it's a moment worth savoring.In all seriousness, whether tackling casseroles, roasts, or desserts, this Le Creuset piece is equal parts versatile and delightful. Cleanup? A breeze. Durability? Impeccable. Culinary prowess? Undeniable. If you seek a kitchen companion that infuses your cooking with both joy and a touch of flair, consider this your heartfelt endorsement. I love it so much, I just ordered another one as a Christmas gift for my son.

Top quality. Looks beautiful. Great presentation for your casseroles. Comes with matching lid.

Happy to find this Casserole pan at such a great price given it is a Le Creuset. Color matched the Le Creusets I already had. Baked a carrerole or "hot dish" as we call it and it was perfect. Although I noticed the casserole pan was very messy with burned casserole along the top side of the casserole mainly due to the sauce and cheese which is typical in other pans as well. Thought I would have to wash it by hand but the dishwasher completely cleaned it up.I like the heat retention so it stays warm for a long time. Always very pleased with the Le Crust brand. If you use this size of pan on a regular basis, do not hesitate to purchase this as it can also be used to bake all sorts of items such as chicken, beef, and fish.

I purchased this for my wife as a Christmas gift and she absolutely loves it.She takes pleasure in the beautiful finish and craftsmanship and appreciates the way it cooks.

It does a great job for casserole and the look is great.

La Creuset is absolutely the best cooking pots available. I saw this item on Facebook in a cooking demonstration and didn’t know it existed. I ordered it immediately and love it.It cooks evenly, it’s easy to clean, just the right size -a wonderful addition!

This pan is perfect for lasagna. It is good quality (of course -- it's Le Creuset) and a joy to use. In addition to lasagna, it makes a great roasting pan. You will be passing this piece down to your children. It will stand the test of time.

I received this item on January 30, 2024. It arrived on time and the packaging was very well done.Upon removing the vessel from the box and placing it on the kitchen counter, I immediately discovered that the base of the dish did not sit evenly, as it rocked back and forth, like an old barstool.I then removed the lid from the box, positioned it on top of the dish, and discovered that it also did not sit evenly.Like many companies, Le Creuset has farmed out their manufacturing overseas, and I understand the economics behind this decision.However, if Le Creuset expects customers to continue to pay a premium for their products, despite where it’s being manufactured, I strongly urge them to focus on quality control.
