Le Creuset Oval Cast Iron Casserole 27cm Meringue
Combining timeless French craftsmanship with exceptional cooking performance, the Le Creuset Oval Cast Iron Casserole is designed for everything from slow-cooked family favourites to impressive Sunday roasts. As versatile as the iconic round casserole, its elongated shape offers additional flexibility for larger cuts of meat while fitting comfortably inside the oven.
Perfect for roasting a whole leg of lamb, pork loin, chicken or fish, this premium enamelled cast iron casserole leaves space for extra trays of vegetables and sides, making it ideal for family cooking and entertaining.
Crafted from high-quality enamelled cast iron, it delivers outstanding heat retention and even heat distribution, helping food cook gently and consistently while developing rich flavour and beautiful browning. Once served, the casserole continues to retain heat, keeping meals warmer for longer at the table.
