Le CreusetStoneware Heritage Covered Rectangular Casserole, 4 qt. (12" x 9"), Caribbean

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.

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

Nice color, great quality.

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!

Works great! Perfect portion for feeding a lot of people.

Perfect condition!!!! Packed extremely well! Lid fits perfectly

I prepared my Macaroni and cheese in this dish, and the cheese was not sticking to the pan. I am really pleased with this.

wobbles, lid isn't tight.....not Le Crescent quality. Ya know what they say about getting what you pay for....this is perfect example. I was expecting Le Crescent quality, doesn't look like that quality. BEWARE

If you're thinking of getting this dish with the expectation you're getting quality Le Creuset you are sorely mistaken. It's not made in France with the quality of the item self evident. The lid doesn't fit no matter how you position it. It's wobbly and very unstable! You're better off with a cheap aluminum pan and some aluminum foil. Shame on Le Creuset for doing things like this. SHAME! Also the actual size of the bottom of the pan is 11x7 so your 9x13 recipes will overfill this cheap pan! I do not recommend this pan at all especially at this outrageous price!

Empeze a cocinar con mucha ilusion y al momento de empezar a calentarse en la estufa, hizo un ruido y todo el molde se estrello de lado a lado, lo tuve que regresar, deberian de tener mas cuidado en su control de calidad

Broke twice bring delivered.

I just received this a couple weeks ago and I have used this to make a few different dishes already. What a difference great stoneware makes for cooking in! I am so pleased! I have wanted to collect this bake ware for quite a few years and can just now justify buying some... WHY DID I WAIT??????? I have already recently acquired some of the cast iron pieces too and I can promise that it is my opinion that you will not regret a Le Creuset purchase.

beautiful piece
