Le Creuset Oval Cast Iron Casserole 27cm Satin Black
Designed for everything from slow-cooked family favourites to impressive roast dinners, the Le Creuset Oval Cast Iron Casserole combines iconic French craftsmanship with exceptional cooking performance. As versatile as the classic round casserole, its elongated shape offers extra flexibility for larger cuts of meat while still leaving room in the oven for side dishes and trimmings.
Large enough to roast a whole leg of lamb yet slim enough to maximise oven space, this premium casserole dish is ideal for roasting, braising, baking and slow cooking. Whether preparing tender casseroles, rich stews or beautifully browned meats, it helps you achieve full-bodied flavour and consistent cooking results every time.
Crafted in France from premium enamelled cast iron, it delivers exceptional heat retention and even heat distribution, ensuring food cooks gently and evenly. Once served, the cast iron construction keeps meals warmer for longer at the table.
