Editorial Review:
Le Creuset's 8-oz. Petite Tomato Casserole is ideal for zesty salsas, relishes, and condiments. Crafted from traditional stoneware, this versatile dish can even serve as a decorative element in the kitchen for sheer eye candy.
A fetching little garden gem, this Le Creuset petite tomato casserole offers an adorable way to serve tomato soup, veggie casserole portions, or warm dips. Part of the Garden Collection, the piece is crafted from durable stoneware with a sculptural shape and diminutive proportions. It distributes and retains heat beautifully, and its handsome, nonporous enamel surface makes for easy serving and washing. Heavy-duty for years of use, the piece is impervious to lingering odors and does not stain, chip, or craze with normal wear.
One of the reasons Le Creuset stoneware is so popular is that it simplifies the steps from prep to cleanup. Use this dish to marinate in the fridge, bake in the oven, warm in the microwave, and store in the freezer--everything but cook on the stovetop. Measuring just 4-1/2 by 4-1/2 inches and holding 8 ounces, the petite casserole coordinates with Garden Collection pumpkins, bell peppers, and garlic bulbs to create a real table of plenty. --Emily Bedard

Read carefullly before buying -- items in mirror are closer (and smaller) than they appear:
All the little Le Creuset fruit and veggie "petites" are smaller than their overstated capacity. If it says it holds 12 ounces, then just assume 10. If it says 10 ounces, assume a scant 8. And if it only gives you the 5" x 5" dimensions, just assume 7 ounces at the ouside. That said, the little tomato, the pumpkin, the garlic and the peppers are all just wonderful little (verrrry little) individual bakers/servers. Great for tiny mac & cheese, baked pasta dishes, individula tamale pies or baked... more info
Small crock great for entertaining:
This small stoneware casserole can be used to bake small dishes or used to hold refrigerated dips. It matches Le Creuset enamelware, and is attractive on the table. It is especially nice to hold small hors d'oeuvres for parties, especially hot dishes like baked dips or melted cheese.
