Editorial Review:
For use in the oven, stove or broiler / Cast iron design allows even heat distribution / 10 x 14 inch and 5 1/4 Quart capacity / Color: Kiwi
This classic rectangular roasting pan from Le Creuset is not only extremely durable but presents beautifully at the table. Made in France in the traditional sand-casting method, the rugged cast-iron pan is coated with hard porcelain enamel that resists scratching, chipping, staining, odor absorption, and cracking. The pan goes from freezer to oven to serving at the table with the aid of two wide end rims, and can even be used under the broiler or on any type of stovetop burner for making gravy or sautéing vegetables. This model is the larger of Le Creuset's roasters, measuring 10 by 15-3/4 inches, which makes it the perfect size for roasting a leg of lamb with potatoes, or baking lasagna, stuffed peppers, and desserts. Cast iron is renowned for its even distribution of heat during cooking and long heat retention after coming out of the oven.
Le Creuset suffuses the exterior of its products with bright, modern colors, while keeping a more neutral tone on the interior to showcase your cuisine. Rounded corners and the smooth enamel coating mean food particles tend not to stick, making cleaning by hand or in the dishwasher a snap. Enjoy choosing matching or coordinating colors for your Le Creuset baking pans, pie dishes, French ovens, and more. Each is covered by a lifetime limited warranty against defects, whether you bought the item yourself or received it as a gift. --Ann Bieri

exceptional!:
Fabulous roaster, and a must-have for any kitchen. There is nothing like LeCreuset's enameled cast iron for perfect roasting, brasing, casseroles. I roasted my Greek chicken recipe with potatoes and lemon in this, and it came out to perfection. Meat and vegetables nicely roasted/browned, sauce was rich, and chicken was very tender. Far better results than pyrex bakers or even a Calphalon roaster I have. And it makes such a nice presentation for serving and cleans up beyond compare. If you do much oven... more info
Use for casseroles, cakes, or roasting:
Le Creuset manufactures porcelain enameled cast iron cooking vessels as well as other quality products. The enameled cookware is cast from molten iron formed in sand moulds which are used only once. For this reason, one pan may look like another, but each is unique in its own way. Cast iron is a highly efficient material which absorbs and distributes heat efficiently. For this reason, it is recommended to use on low to medium heat. There are a few exceptions like boiling water where cooking on high... more info
excellent piece of cookware:
My favorite roasting pan! Yes, it's expensive, it's made to last a life time and then some. Performs beautifully every time and cleans up very easily with just a short soak in hot water. I use it for just about all my roasting needs. It makes the best sauces and gravies too, since the meat juices carmelize nicely on the bottom. And it goes easily from stovetop to oven and back to stovetop again. I also use it for making lasagna, roasted vegetables, tuna casserole, rice pudding and bread pudding.... more info
Awesome deep dish pizza pan!:
I purchased this piece as part of a set from Williams Sonoma. It was a great price, but when I unpacked this enormous baker I wondered what I was ever going to use it for. We are a family of two, and if I used it for something like lasagna we would be eating leftovers for a month. I found, however, that it makes the best deep dish pizza EVER! We haven't ordered delivery in at least two years, and I use the pan once a week. It's now one of my favorite le creuset items. A word of caution, though. I'm not very... more info
