Cook yourself happy with this perfect-sized Le Creuset Cast Iron Shallow casserole
Whether it’s steak or meat for a hearty, slow-cooked stew, the 26cm shallow Dutch oven will be your new best friend. Featuring a wide base to allow for maximum contact between food and heat sources, you can put your ingredients in a single layer to achieve proper searing for maximum flavour. Once the liquid is added, the domed lid continuously circulates steam to lock in those flavours and moisture.
Crafted at Le Creuset’s original French foundry, their cast iron pieces are the stuff of culinary legend. This shallow casserole is no exception. The large, flat shape and shallow sides make it perfect for browning meat and vegetables, simmering casseroles, stir-frying and baking. It enhances caramelisation for moreish mouthfuls. Also called ‘braisers’, buffet casseroles are great for searing and incredibly handy for marinating! Again, the wide base ensures you can marinate a generous amount of food in a single layer.
Handmade in France since 1925, Le Creuset cast iron casseroles are famous worldwide and have a lifetime warranty!
