About Le Creuset...Since 1925, artisans have been crafting Le Creuset cookware in the French village of Fresnoy Le Grand. Each piece of Le Creuset cast iron cookware is handcast, polished, double enamel-coated and then fired, resulting in some of the finest quality cookware available. Cast iron is one of the best materials for distributing heat gently and thoroughly and is ideal for induction ranges. The strong enamel coating will not absorb odors or flavors, and is easy to clean. Heavy lids securely seal in moisture and flavor. Le Creuset cookware comes in a variety of sizes, colors and styles to match any kitchen and cooking preference. So lasting, you'll pass it on to the next generation of promising cooks.
Le Creuset classic stoneware meets the needs of the serious home chef. High-fired with an exceptionally hard enamel glaze, the stoneware superbly resists scratching, chipping, and cracking. A dish can go from the refrigerator or freezer to the microwave or oven to serving at the table, and can even be used under the broiler. Just avoid stovetop use. Because the non-porous enamel won't stain or absorb odors, Le Creuset stoneware excels at marinating and storing food.
Measuring 15 by 11 by 3 inches (depth excludes lid) and holding 5 quarts, this lidded, oval dish beautifully bakes and serves poultry, casseroles, and desserts. The exterior comes in a choice of bright, modern colors, while the interior stays neutral. Food particles tend not to stick to the smooth enamel surface, making cleaning by hand or in the dishwasher a snap. Enjoy choosing coordinating colors for your Le Creuset baking pans, pie dishes, French ovens, and more. Each is covered by a lifetime limited warranty against defects. --Ann Bieri

We got ours broken:
We had this in our wedding registry and we got it broken. It was very poorly packaged, just some thin cardboard between the dish itself and the lid.
We got a certificate for the amount, and I would really like to order another one, but I am afraid it is going to come broken again. More, we have to pay again $30 for shipping and, who knows how it will come again. I cannot really rate the item, since I was not able to use it. If I get it next time I order it (and it seems like a great dish for a... more info

Le Creuset 5.3 Quart Oval Dish:
What can I say...it's a Le Creuset! I bought this for my friend and she absoluetly loved it. She said she is going to make something in it and bring it to a potluck. It looks like $100.00 pan.
Love it!:
I have three Le Creuset cast iron "ovens" of various sizes, but this is my first "covered" stoneware piece. I know my large family will be eating many meals baked in this dish. It was large enough to cram two large chickens into it, and they came out extremely tender and not dried out. Delicious. I also anticipate using this for potlucks, since it can hold a lot of food, yet still looks great on the table. Because the top is raised, it actually holds more than a similar-sized dutch oven. I couldn't have... more info
