Le Creuset Cast Iron Oval Casserole 40 cm

The Le Creuset Cast Iron Oval Casserole 40 cm is an iconic premium cookware piece for slow cooking, stewing, braising, roasting and preparing large-format recipes with excellent heat retention. The oval shape is especially suited to larger or elongated ingredients such as whole chicken, turkey, leg of lamb, meat joints, whole fish, roasted vegetables, bread, stews and flavour-rich oven dishes.

Made from enamelled cast iron, this Le Creuset oval casserole distributes heat evenly and retains temperature exceptionally well, helping food cook gently and consistently with tender, aromatic and succulent results. The tight-fitting lid helps retain moisture inside the pot, intensifying the natural flavours of the ingredients and keeping food succulent throughout cooking.

With a capacity of 13.9 litres, this 40 cm oval casserole is ideal for large family meals, big roasts, slow-cooked dishes and sharing recipes. The narrow, elongated shape makes it practical in the oven, leaving space for side dishes, while the large handles allow comfortable handling from hob to oven and from kitchen to table.

Suitable for induction, gas, ceramic glass, electric hob, oven, grill and freezer use, this cast iron oval casserole combines professional performance, exceptional durability and elegant presentation. To protect the enamelled cast iron and achieve the best results, low to medium heat is recommended.
