Revered by both professional chefs and home cooks since its 1925 debut, Le Creuset's classic French cookware is prized for its utilitarian good looks and unsurpassed heat retention. As beautiful as it is functional, this line of stoneware bakeware features superior performance in the oven or microwave and is ideal for baked goods and roasted dishes. Crafted of dense stoneware glazed cerise red, it blocks moisture absorption to prevent cracking and crazing and has a brightly colored exterior that resists scratches and stains. The nearly non-stick interior resists sticking, effortlessly releases foods and cleans up easily. The covered casserole bakes up bread, lasagna and more, bringing attractive color and Le Creuset style to the kitchen and table. Le Creuset baking dishes are also available in palm.
