Why we like Cast Iron Oblong Casserole

1. It has the superb heat transmission and distribution of any cocotte.
2. It is a very versatile piece, which you can use both for rice dishes and for biscuits, for meat and fish. In addition, as it is low and has a lid, the heat radiates quickly to the food from all sides, including the top, obtaining very fast and homogeneous cooking.
3. It is a beautiful piece, which you can wear and show off directly on the table.
4. Like all Le Creuset products, it is not only practical and highly durable, but beautiful enough to present food on the table. And we don't know which color we like best!
