Le Creuset Essential Tri-Ply Stainless Steel Shallow Casserole

This Le Creuset Essential tri-ply stainless steel shallow casserole is a real gem. With its 20 cm diameter, stainless steel lid and 3-litre capacity, you'll have an incredibly versatile piece. Shallow pot, casserole, roasting dish and even baking tin or fryer: you can use it for everything. Its tri-ply construction (3-PLY) makes heating fast, even and complete throughout the whole body, from the base to the rim. It's a lidded casserole that's perfect for cooking with great efficiency and excellent control over cooking, thanks to its outstanding response to changes in temperature.  

The combination of high-quality stainless steel and aluminium forms a three-layer material that spreads heat quickly and evenly throughout the whole piece, giving you perfect results. Its uncoated interior is ideal for cooking all kinds of recipes, with healthy, flavour-packed results. The lid adds to its efficiency by keeping the steam and heat inside when you're slow-cooking stews and casseroles. 

It's light, easy to handle and stands out for its elegant design, focused on making it simple and comfortable to use every day. It has everything it needs to take pride of place in your kitchen:

• Its 3-ply multi-layer technology bonds high-quality stainless steel and aluminium to form a 3-layer material that distributes heat quickly and evenly throughout the whole pan, from the base to the rim. The casserole heats up completely in less time, which means greater energy savings. 
• It's very efficient and gives you optimal temperature control. You don't need to cook on high power to reach high temperatures. Let it heat up on medium and, when you need more or less heat, just turn the heat up or down and you'll see how quickly it responds. 
• Its stainless steel handles are elegant and stay cool, so you can cook safely without burning yourself. Remember that they do get hot in the oven. 
• The elegant stainless steel lid completes the set and makes it far more efficient. When you cook stews or heat liquids with the lid on, the heat and steam stay inside, reducing cooking time and giving you juicier, tastier results. 
• The rim is drip-free, so you can pour without spills or drips and serve cleanly and easily.
• Elegant, functional design with a brushed stainless steel finish.
• Suitable for all types of hob. Whatever hob you have: gas, induction, ceramic. Even in the oven and the freezer. 
• It's light and easy to handle, so you can use it easily and comfortably. 
• It's very easy to clean, both by hand and in the dishwasher.
• Le Creuset offers a lifetime guarantee.

As you can see, as well as being elegant, it's a shallow casserole ideal for all kinds of recipes. A luxury helper for your stews, hotpots, casseroles and rice dishes. You'll use it to reduce a meat sauce, cook a crème pâtissière, boil pasta or fry croquettes, and you can even use it as a tin to bake your best sponge cake. Try it and see how wonderful it is!
