The Le Creuset Signature Cast Iron Risotto Pan 30cm Mist Grey is obviously good for risotto and paella but also for Bolognese, coq au vin and curries, where you first want a larger frying area in order to be able to add more taste to your final dish than in a normal traditional casserole.
This pan is a bit like a shallow casserole but with more vertical sides and a bit more depth and we sell, very well, the stainless steel version of it in the Le Creuset 3 Ply range.
It’s often called a multifunction pan by many manufacturers and you can still use it as a casserole or to bake bread in.
