The Le Creuset round cast iron pot has been crafted to the highest quality since 1925. Cast iron is one of the best materials for cooking, as it builds heat gradually, distributes it evenly, and retains it brilliantly. Enjoy all those qualities on a smaller (and very adorable) scale and use it for serving soups, baking small gratins or making delicious desserts. Suitable for use on all hob types, including induction, and in the oven, the casserole makes a perfect serving dish too as cast iron keeps food warmer for longer at the table. Individually cast in sand moulds and hand crafted at the original French foundry since 1925, Le Creuset casserole dishes are protected by a Lifetime Guarantee for total peace of mind.
