Performs as Promised
Straightforward cleanup and reliable, even cooking. Used for lasagna and tuna casserole—cleans up more easily than a glass dish and looks nicer on the table.

Handy, well-made size
Classic build quality. Dimensions are very practical—like a deep 9x13—and the handles make it easy to move from oven to table.

Gorgeous Artichaut Finish + Best Cleaning Tip
Arrived in perfect condition; the Artichaut green is richer in person. Size and heft match expectations for enameled cast iron, and the loop handles work well with oven mitts. It cooked stuffed peppers evenly and cleaned up easily. For tougher marks, a mild powdered cleaner made for enamel works without scratching. Quality pieces like this can last generations with care.

Thrilled with this Le Creuset
I bought it on sale with free international shipping. It’s a Le Creuset — the reputation is well deserved.

Measure carefully — interior is smaller
I swapped this for the larger size because the usable interior felt smaller than expected. If you want a bit more depth and room, the next size up was a better fit for our needs. The larger version also cooks, cleans, and looks great.

Pricey but worth the convenience
This brand is expensive, but the finish wipes cleaner than my other ceramic-coated cast iron. I value the time saved not soaking and scrubbing, and I expect many years of use. I bought several pieces and haven't seen hot spots; they heat evenly on stove and in oven. Excellent build and easy maintenance after long roasts.

Solid pan, true-to-size note
Sturdy and holds heat well. Works fine with foil or parchment to retain moisture. It’s not as large as it looks—enough room for four large chicken breasts without touching. If you need more capacity, consider the bigger size. The smaller footprint also makes cleaning easier and it fits diagonally in most sinks.
