Wash in warm, soapy water, then rinse and dry thoroughly. Condition the interior surface by rubbing vegetable or corn oil over the entire surface using a paper towel. Rinse with hot water and dry thoroughly. When frying for the first time, add vegetable or corn oil to cover the base, heat gently whilst rotating to coat the sides, remove from heat, allow to cool, then clean with paper towels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChoosing the right heat level:\u003c\/strong\u003e Medium or low heat achieves best results, even for frying and searing. Allow the roaster to heat up gradually for even cooking. If higher heat is needed, reduce the setting once the desired temperature is reached. The 3-ply construction conducts heat efficiently, so high heat is rarely necessary.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRoasting technique:\u003c\/strong\u003e Place meat on a rack or shelf rather than directly on the oven floor, which can cause uncontrolled cooking. Always use oven gloves when handling hot roaster. Use an appropriately sized hob ring when transferring to the hob—this ensures even heating and prevents handle damage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaking gravy on the hob:\u003c\/strong\u003e After roasting, carefully transfer the roaster to the hob. Remove excess fat if desired, add wine or stock to deglaze, and scrape up the flavourful browned bits. The stainless steel surface won't react with acidic ingredients like wine or tomatoes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFor induction cooking:\u003c\/strong\u003e Use an appropriately sized ring for best results.

Never plunge hot stainless steel into cold water—excessive temperature changes can damage the pan. Wash in warm soapy water with a non-abrasive sponge or cloth. For stuck-on food, soak in hot soapy water before cleaning. The roaster is dishwasher safe, though hand washing maintains the stainless steel's appearance better.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRemoving discolouration:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rainbow marks (heat tint) or white marks (mineral deposits) are cosmetic only.

Wash in warm soapy water, rinse, and dry thoroughly. You may optionally season the pan by rubbing a thin layer of vegetable or corn oil over the interior surface, heating it gently until the oil begins to smoke, then wiping clean with paper towels once cooled.

The pan is ready when a drop of water forms a ball and rolls across the surface. Add fat and let it heat until shimmering before adding food. Use medium to medium-high heat for most cooking - stainless steel is efficient and doesn't require maximum heat.

Thin pans develop areas of intense heat that cause sticking and burning despite non-stick coatings. The aluminium core in Le Creuset's construction conducts heat rapidly and distributes it evenly across the entire base, making the non-stick coating work properly whilst protecting it from heat damage. The stainless steel layers provide durability and hob compatibility, particularly important for induction cooking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe non-stick coating is engineered to resist metal utensils when used with care - occasional contact with metal spoons or spatulas won't damage it. However, Le Creuset recommends silicone, wooden, or heat-resistant plastic tools for maximum coating longevity. Never use knives, sharp implements, or electric beaters directly in the pan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCritical for non-stick longevity: use only low to medium heat. Non-stick coatings degrade when exposed to high temperatures, losing their properties and potentially releasing fumes. The excellent 3-ply heat distribution means medium heat provides sufficient cooking temperature even for tasks like frying or searing. This heat limitation protects your investment and ensures years of non-stick performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 20cm size is specifically designed for omelettes - large enough for a proper 2-3 egg omelette yet small enough to maintain the curved shape whilst cooking. The sloped sides facilitate the folding technique and allow omelettes to slide cleanly onto plates. This size also excels at fried eggs, small pancakes, heating leftovers, or sautéing vegetables for one person.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSuitable for breakfast enthusiasts who cook eggs regularly, anyone seeking convenient non-stick cooking with professional heat distribution, those building quality cookware collections, and as practical gifts for students or anyone setting up a kitchen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"qa\" class=\"qa-box\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat Customers Ask About Le Creuset Non-Stick Omelette Pan\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eWhat does 3-ply construction mean for a non-stick pan?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 3-ply construction bonds premium-grade stainless steel and aluminium together in three layers beneath the non-stick coating.

However, a small amount of fat improves flavour, aids browning, and helps maintain the non-stick coating's performance over time. For omelettes, a small knob of butter is traditional and recommended.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eCan this go in the dishwasher?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhilst dishwasher safe, hand washing in hot soapy water is strongly recommended to extend the non-stick coating's life.

Avoid overheating the empty pan. Use silicone, wooden, or plastic utensils preferably. Hand wash rather than dishwasher. Never use cooking sprays which leave residue that builds up. Allow the pan to cool before washing. These practices ensure years of non-stick performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eWhat's the advantage of 3-ply over regular non-stick pans?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRegular thin non-stick pans develop hot spots that cause sticking and uneven cooking despite the coating. The 3-ply aluminium core distributes heat evenly across the entire base, making the non-stick coating work better and last longer. You also get the durability and versatility of stainless steel construction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"expert-box\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat We've Learned About Non-Stick Cookware Since 1972\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter five decades of selling non-stick pans, we've learned that construction quality beneath the coating matters enormously. Cheap thin pans develop hot spots that cause sticking despite non-stick coatings. Le Creuset's 3-ply construction addresses this fundamental problem - the aluminium core distributes heat evenly, making the non-stick coating perform as intended.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe critical mistake we see customers make is using high heat with non-stick pans. \"More heat cooks faster\" seems logical but actually damages non-stick coatings permanently. The 3-ply construction's excellent heat distribution means medium heat provides sufficient temperature for all cooking tasks. This requires patience initially but protects your investment and produces better results.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMetal utensil resistance doesn't mean metal utensils are preferable - it means occasional contact won't ruin the coating. We recommend silicone tools for maximum coating longevity. And whilst dishwasher safe, hand washing takes thirty seconds and significantly extends non-stick performance. These small habits make quality non-stick pans last for years rather than months.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"specs\" class=\"specs-box\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 20cm diameter\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e W22cm x H6.9cm x L39.1cm (including handle)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConstruction:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3-ply multi-layered stainless steel and aluminium with non-stick coating\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Premium-grade stainless steel with aluminium core, non-stick interior\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHob Compatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e All hobs including gas, electric, ceramic, halogen, induction\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeat Requirement:\u003c\/strong\u003e Low to medium heat only (never high heat)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOven Safe:\u003c\/strong\u003e Up to 260°C (including handle)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMicrowave Safe:\u003c\/strong\u003e No\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/strong\u003e Precision pouring rim, sloped sides, even heat distribution\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDishwasher Safe:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes (hand washing strongly recommended)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFreezer Compatible:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufactured In:\u003c\/strong\u003e China\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWarranty:\u003c\/strong\u003e Lifetime guarantee\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"care\" class=\"care-box\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCare \u0026amp; Use Instructions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBefore First Use:\u003c\/strong\u003e Remove all labels and packaging.

Very small eggs may sit lower in the cup, whilst very large eggs will be held securely but sit higher. The 5.3cm diameter opening suits most standard egg sizes you're likely to encounter.

Place securely in the dishwasher to prevent movement during the wash cycle. Alternatively, hand wash with warm, soapy water and dry. The scratch-resistant glaze maintains its appearance through either washing method.

This means sauté pans are better suited to searing as there is more surface area while shallow casseroles are better suited to dishes with liquid as food is less likely to get stuck in the corners. Cook steak, fish, sautéed potatoes in the sauté pan. Cook hot pot, casseroles, or other saucy dishes in a shallow casserole. The double handles on the shallow casserole make it easier and safer to move when full as you have more control of the pan.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eIs 30cm too large for most ovens?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 30cm size fits most standard UK ovens. The carefully positioned side handles (31.8cm total width) are designed to maximise oven compatibility. Measure your oven interior width before purchasing if concerned - standard UK ovens are typically 40-45cm wide internally.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eHow many people does the 30cm size serve?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 30cm is ideal for 4-6 people for main dishes, or up to 8 for side dishes. For paella specifically, the wide base allows you to cook a generous amount in the traditional thin layer for proper socarrat development.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eWhy is a wide base important for paella?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePaella traditionally cooks in a thin, even layer to develop the socarrat - the prized crispy rice on the bottom. A wide, shallow pan provides maximum surface area relative to depth, ensuring even heat distribution and proper crust formation. The shallow sides also allow moisture to evaporate efficiently.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eCan I use this for braising?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, it's excellent for braising. Brown meat on the hob, add liquid, cover with the lid, and transfer to the oven. The wide base ensures even browning before braising, and the lid traps moisture during slow cooking. The oven-safe construction (up to 260°C) makes it suitable for long braises.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eIs this suitable for serving at the table?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, the brushed stainless steel finish with three-ring design makes it attractive for table service.

You may optionally season the interior by rubbing a thin layer of vegetable or corn oil over the surface, heating gently until the oil begins to smoke, then wiping clean with paper towels once cooled.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCooking technique:\u003c\/strong\u003e The wide base benefits from proper preheating. Place the pan on medium heat for 2-3 minutes before adding oil or butter. The 3-ply construction heats efficiently, so avoid maximum heat settings. For dishes like paella, ensure ingredients spread in a relatively even layer across the wide base for consistent cooking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUsing side handles:\u003c\/strong\u003e The two handles are positioned to fit through most oven openings whilst providing secure grip points. Always use oven gloves on both hands when moving the pan - both handles will be hot. The handles make it safer to lift the pan when full compared to single-handled alternatives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHob to oven cooking:\u003c\/strong\u003e Brown ingredients on the hob, add liquid if braising, cover with the lid, and transfer to the oven.

Don't plunge hot pans into cold water—thermal shock can cause warping. Both pan and lid are dishwasher safe. For hand washing, use warm soapy water and a non-abrasive sponge. The wide, shallow design makes hand cleaning easier than deep pots.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRemoving stuck-on food:\u003c\/strong\u003e The wide, shallow design makes deglazing effective. Add liquid to the warm pan and scrape with a wooden spoon—stuck bits will dissolve into the liquid. For stubborn residue, soak in warm soapy water, then use a non-abrasive scrubber or a cream cleaner designed for stainless steel finishes. We stock these from Le Creuset and Demeyere.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRemoving discolouration:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rainbow-coloured heat marks or white calcium deposits are harmless.

Sauté pans have straight sides and usually come with a lid. Frying pans are better for quick cooking where you need to turn food frequently.

It's more durable than non-stick coatings and safe at higher temperatures. However, it requires more oil or butter and proper preheating technique to prevent sticking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eWill food stick to this pan?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStainless steel is not non-stick, so food can stick if the pan isn't properly preheated or lacks sufficient fat. Preheat the pan on medium heat, add oil or butter, and let it heat until it shimmers before adding food. Protein will release naturally once it's properly seared - if it's sticking, it's not ready to turn.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eIs 26cm a good everyday size?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 26cm is an excellent everyday size, suitable for 2-3 portions. It's large enough for most daily cooking tasks - frying eggs, searing chicken breasts, sautéing vegetables - without being unwieldy.

The 26cm measurement is the diameter at the rim. The base will be slightly smaller due to the sloped sides.

The pan is ready when a drop of water forms a ball and rolls across the surface. Add fat and let it heat until shimmering before adding food. Use medium to medium-high heat for most cooking - stainless steel is efficient and doesn't require maximum heat.

Most UK ovens are 60cm wide internally, so this will fit comfortably with space either side. The depth including handles is 11cm, which Isabel mentions in her review as taking up more height than expected. Measure your oven shelves vertically to ensure you have sufficient clearance, particularly if you typically use multiple shelves simultaneously.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eCan I use this on an induction hob?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, the stainless steel base is magnetic and fully compatible with induction hobs. Janet specifically mentions using it on induction to make gravy from roasting juices, and Pauline confirms it works well on induction. The flat base provides good contact with induction surfaces for efficient heat transfer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eHow does the 4.4L capacity translate to practical use?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJanet describes it as \"perfect-sized for two people\" in her review. The 26cm square base and 7cm internal depth means it will comfortably hold a small chicken (up to 1.5kg), a joint for 2-4 people, or vegetables for 4-6 servings. The square shape uses space more efficiently than round roasters of similar capacity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eWhat's the difference between 3-ply stainless steel and single-layer pans?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSingle-layer stainless steel conducts heat poorly, leading to hot spots. The 3-ply construction bonds an aluminium core between two stainless steel layers. Aluminium conducts heat efficiently whilst stainless steel provides durability and a non-reactive cooking surface. This combination delivers more even heating than single-layer stainless steel, reducing the risk of food sticking or burning in spots.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eIs this truly non-stick or do I need to season it?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is not a non-stick coated pan - it's bare stainless steel. However, Isabel mentions in her review that after following the instructions before first use, she \"found it worked well and is non stick.\" Stainless steel develops non-stick properties when properly preheated and when cooking with adequate fat. The care instructions specify rubbing with vegetable oil before first use, which helps. Karen notes that roast potatoes \"did not stick\" and were \"really easy to clean.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"expert-box\" id=\"customer-feedback\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat Our Customers Tell Us\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBased on customer reviews, three themes emerge consistently. First, customers particularly value the dual functionality - several reviewers specifically mention using the roaster on the hob to make gravy from pan juices, with Janet calling this feature \"brilliant.\" This hob-to-oven versatility appears to be a key reason customers choose this roaster over aluminium alternatives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSecond, the quality and longevity receive repeated mention. Christine, Jacqueline, and Janet all reference the product \"lasting a lifetime,\" suggesting customers view this as a long-term investment rather than disposable cookware. Shelagh is on her second Le Creuset roaster, indicating satisfaction leads to repeat purchases.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThird, the handles warrant attention. Whilst reviewers appreciate them for lifting, Isabel honestly notes they \"take up a lot of height in the oven\" and mentions getting wrist burns from the hot handles when dealing with food. Karen similarly advises being aware that the tin is deeper when handles are included, affecting shelf placement. Consider your oven shelf spacing and use oven gloves that extend past your wrists.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"specs-box\" id=\"specs\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions (L x W x H):\u003c\/strong\u003e 31.2cm x 27.5cm x 11cm (including handles)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBase dimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 26cm x 26cm (cooking surface)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInterior depth:\u003c\/strong\u003e 7cm\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCapacity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4.4 litres\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.53kg\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3-ply stainless steel (stainless steel exterior and interior with bonded aluminium core)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHob compatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e Gas, electric, ceramic glass, and induction\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOven safe:\u003c\/strong\u003e Up to 260°C\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrill safe:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes - maintain minimum 6.5cm gap between grill element and pan\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDishwasher safe:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes (handwash recommended)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFreezer safe:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMicrowave safe:\u003c\/strong\u003e No\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWarranty:\u003c\/strong\u003e Limited Lifetime Guarantee\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMPN:\u003c\/strong\u003e 96106026000000\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCountry of origin:\u003c\/strong\u003e China\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"care-box\" id=\"care\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCare \u0026amp; Use Instructions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBefore first use:\u003c\/strong\u003e Remove all packaging and labels.

It does not cover damage from misuse, accidents, or normal wear and tear.

However, Le Creuset recommends silicone, wooden, or heat-resistant plastic tools for best results and to minimise surface marking over time. Metal utensils won't damage the pan's functionality but may leave minor surface marks with prolonged use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eWill this work with my price match guarantee?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes.

The 4.4L capacity and square shape work well for traybakes, fruit crumbles, and other baked puddings. Being oven-safe to 260°C provides flexibility for various dessert recipes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eWhy should I choose this over a cheaper aluminium roasting tin?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAluminium roasting tins typically cannot be used on the hob and may warp at high temperatures. This 3-ply roaster allows you to start cooking on the hob then transfer to the oven, or make gravy directly in the pan after roasting. The stainless steel construction won't react with acidic foods, and the Limited Lifetime Guarantee suggests it will outlast disposable aluminium alternatives. However, it does cost more initially and weighs 1.53kg versus approximately 500g for equivalent aluminium.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Le Creuset","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":23051301191738,"sku":"270457","price":125.7,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0072\/1875\/7690\/products\/le-creuset-3-ply-stainless-steel-square-roaster-26cm-760.jpg?v=1633431705"},{"product_id":"le-creuset-signature-cast-iron-round-casserole","title":"Le Creuset Signature Cast Iron Round Casserole","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e \u003cmeta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0\"\u003e \u003cmeta name=\"description\" content=\"Le Creuset Signature Cast Iron Round Casserole in six sizes (20-30cm).

For a household of 4-5 people, the 24cm (4.2L) or 26cm (5.3L) sizes work well for family meals and entertaining. If you batch cook or frequently host larger gatherings, consider the 28cm (6.7L) or 30cm (8.1L). For couples or smaller portions, the 20cm (2.4L) or 22cm (3.3L) sizes are ideal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eWill this fit in my oven?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMeasure your oven's interior width and depth before purchasing. Most UK ovens are 60cm wide, which comfortably accommodates all sizes up to 30cm. The total length measurements (including handles) are provided in the size table above.

However, ensure you use the appropriately sized hob ring for your casserole diameter. On induction specifically, your casserole may not be recognised by the hob if the ring is too small.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eHow does cast iron compare to stainless steel for casseroles?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCast iron retains heat significantly longer than stainless steel, making it superior for slow-cooking, maintaining temperature when food is added, and keeping dishes warm at the table. However, cast iron is considerably heavier—the 24cm size weighs 4.31kg compared to approximately 2kg for an equivalent stainless steel casserole. If you need lightweight cookware for frequent lifting and pouring, stainless steel may suit you better.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eIs this suitable for baking bread?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, the round casserole is excellent for baking bread. Cast iron creates steam within the pot similar to professional bakery ovens, helping achieve a crispy crust and well-risen loaf. Le Creuset specifically recommends the 24cm size for bread baking. The tight-fitting lid is also useful when proving dough.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eWhat's the difference between the round and oval casserole?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe round casserole is designed for soups, stews, curries, and baking, with its shape particularly effective for heat retention and even cooking. The oval casserole is specifically designed for roasting larger cuts of meat and whole poultry, with its elongated shape accommodating longer joints.

A particularly telling review came from someone who had previously purchased cheaper cast iron alternatives: they experienced enamel chipping with those pots but found the genuine Le Creuset article a pleasure to cook with. Another customer specifically praised the energy efficiency, noting these casseroles cook food evenly on low heat whilst saving energy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eThe Weight Trade-Off\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCustomers acknowledge the weight of cast iron but consider it worthwhile for the quality and lifetime durability.

The reality is that modern enamelled cast iron like this Le Creuset casserole needs far less care than bare cast iron—it doesn't require seasoning and handles acidic foods without issue. The most frequent error we see is thermal shock damage—plunging a hot casserole into cold water or filling it with cold water immediately after use. Always allow the casserole to cool for a few minutes first.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"comparison-section\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eUnderstanding Your Cast Iron Options\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eEnamelled vs Bare Cast Iron\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis Le Creuset casserole features an enamel coating, which means it doesn't require seasoning, won't rust, and is ready to use straight away. Bare cast iron requires regular seasoning with oil to maintain its non-stick surface and prevent rust. Enamelled cast iron also handles acidic foods like tomatoes and wine without issue, whereas bare cast iron can react with acidic ingredients. If you prefer low-maintenance cookware with immediate usability, enamelled cast iron is the better choice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCast Iron vs Aluminium Non-Stick\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCast iron excels at heat retention and high-temperature cooking, making it ideal for searing and slow-cooking. Aluminium non-stick pans heat up faster and are significantly lighter, which suits everyday quick cooking. However, most non-stick coatings have lower maximum temperatures (typically 180-220°C) compared to this casserole's 260°C oven-safe rating. Cast iron is also far more durable—with proper care, it lasts generations rather than requiring replacement every few years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"specs\" class=\"specs-box\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cast iron with enamel coating (interior and exterior)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAvailable Sizes:\u003c\/strong\u003e 20cm, 22cm, 24cm, 26cm, 28cm, 30cm\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCapacities:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2.4L to 8.1L (see size table above for full details)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight Range:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3.09kg to 7.2kg depending on size\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Oven Temperature:\u003c\/strong\u003e 260°C (including lid and knob)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHob Compatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e All hob types including gas, electric, ceramic, halogen, and induction\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAdditional Use:\u003c\/strong\u003e Oven, grill, and Aga compatible\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLid Design:\u003c\/strong\u003e Tight-fitting with heat-resistant knob\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandle Design:\u003c\/strong\u003e Large ergonomic handles, 45% larger than previous versions\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInterior Finish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Advanced sand enamel (light coloured, resistant to staining)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDishwasher Safe:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, though hand washing is recommended\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFreezer Safe:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCountry of Origin:\u003c\/strong\u003e France (hand-crafted at the original foundry in Fresnoy-le-Grand)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWarranty:\u003c\/strong\u003e Lifetime guarantee\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"care\" class=\"care-box\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCare \u0026amp; Maintenance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBefore First Use:\u003c\/strong\u003e Remove all labels and packaging.

Our no quibble guarantee covers used items—if it doesn't do what you wanted, we'll refund you. This applies even after you've cooked with it.

Contact us with your proof of purchase and photos of the issue. We'll assess whether it's covered under warranty and arrange replacement or repair. Normal wear and tear, accidental damage, and misuse aren't covered by the manufacturer's warranty, but our half-price replacement policy may apply for accidental damage within 2 years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eCan I use metal utensils in this casserole?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo, metal utensils can scratch and damage the enamel surface. We recommend using silicone spatulas (such as Le Creuset's own range), wooden utensils, or heat-resistant nylon tools. This protects both the interior cooking surface and maintains the non-stick properties of the enamel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eWhy does the light interior show staining over time?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is normal and expected. The brownish patina that develops on light enamel interiors actually enhances cooking performance and food release. Le Creuset specifically advises not to attempt removing this patina. It's a sign of a well-used, well-loved casserole, not a defect.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eIs this dishwasher safe despite being cast iron?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, the enamel coating makes it dishwasher-safe. However, hand washing is recommended to maintain the vibrant exterior finish and prevent any potential dulling from harsh dishwasher detergents. The harsh chemicals in some dishwasher tablets can affect the exterior appearance over time, though they won't damage the functionality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eWhat colours are available?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLe Creuset produces this casserole in an extensive range of colours.

You can cook acidic foods like tomato-based sauces without issue. The black enamel interior naturally develops a patina over time - this is desirable and improves food release, so don't attempt to scrub it off.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eThe Weight Trade-Off\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese casseroles are heavy - ranging from 3.7kg to 5.7kg empty. This weight is what provides excellent heat retention, but it's worth considering if you have mobility concerns. If you struggle with heavy cookware, the smaller 25cm size offers the benefits of cast iron with the least weight penalty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eHeat Management\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe most common mistake we see is using too much heat. Cast iron retains heat so effectively that medium or even low settings typically suffice. Let it heat gradually on the hob before adding ingredients for best results.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- Specifications --\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"background: #f8f9fa; padding: 15px; border-radius: 5px; margin: 15px 0; width: 100%;\" id=\"specifications\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #2c5530; margin-top: 0; font-size: 18px;\"\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-bottom: 10px; word-wrap: break-word;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cast iron with enamel coating\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-bottom: 10px; word-wrap: break-word;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAvailable Sizes:\u003c\/strong\u003e 25cm, 27cm, 29cm, 31cm (oval measurement)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-bottom: 10px; word-wrap: break-word;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCapacities:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3.2L, 4.1L, 4.7L, 6.3L\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-bottom: 10px; word-wrap: break-word;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeights:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3.7kg, 4.9kg, 5.3kg, 5.7kg (varies by size)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-bottom: 10px; word-wrap: break-word;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSuitable For:\u003c\/strong\u003e All hob types including induction, oven, freezer storage\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-bottom: 10px; word-wrap: break-word;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWarranty:\u003c\/strong\u003e Lifetime Guarantee from Le Creuset\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-bottom: 10px; word-wrap: break-word;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacture:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hand-crafted\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- Care \u0026 Maintenance --\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"background: #f8f9fa; padding: 15px; border-radius: 5px; margin: 15px 0; width: 100%;\" id=\"care\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #2c5530; margin-top: 0; font-size: 18px;\"\u003eCare \u0026amp; Maintenance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBefore First Use:\u003c\/strong\u003e Remove all labels, wash in hot soapy water, rinse and dry thoroughly.

The aluminium core conducts heat rapidly and distributes it evenly throughout the entire pan base and up the sides, eliminating the hot spots common in thinner, single-layer cookware. This bonded construction ensures gentle, even cooking that prevents burning whilst reducing energy consumption - you can use lower heat settings and still achieve excellent results.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe close-fitting lid transforms cooking performance. By creating a seal, it traps steam and moisture inside the pan, reducing evaporation and allowing you to use less cooking liquid. This keeps vegetables vibrant and nutrient-rich, makes rice and pasta cook more efficiently, and intensifies flavours in sauces and reductions. The lid is oven safe alongside the pan, enabling one-pot hob-to-oven dishes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSize selection depends on your cooking needs. The 14cm handles small portions, sauces for 1-2 people, and heating milk - compact with a single handle. The 16cm suits side dishes and vegetables for 2-3 people, adding a helper handle for easier lifting. The 18cm accommodates vegetables for 3-4 people, rice, and pasta sides. The 20cm handles main dishes, pasta for four, soups, and one-pot meals for 4-6 people. The helper handles on larger sizes prove invaluable when pans are full of hot liquid or heavy ingredients.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe precision pouring rim is carefully designed to direct liquids cleanly when you tilt the pan, preventing drips down the exterior that cause mess and waste. This seemingly small detail improves daily usability significantly when draining pasta water, pouring sauces, or transferring stock.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSuitable for those building foundational cookware collections, anyone seeking quality pans that last decades, cooks who value even heating and moisture retention, busy families who need rapid-heating cookware, and as exceptional wedding or housewarming gifts backed by Le Creuset's reputation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"qa\" class=\"qa-box\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat Customers Ask About Le Creuset 3-ply Saucepan\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eWhat does 3-ply construction mean?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 3-ply construction bonds premium-grade stainless steel and aluminium together in three layers.

Ensure you use an appropriately sized hob ring - if the ring is too large, the induction hob may not recognise the pan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eIs this oven safe and to what temperature?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, the saucepan and lid are oven safe up to 260°C, including the handles. This allows you to start dishes on the hob and finish them in the oven, or use the saucepan for oven-braising. Always use oven gloves when handling hot cookware. Not suitable for microwaves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eWhich size should I choose?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e14cm suits small portions, sauces, heating milk for 1-2 people. 16cm is ideal for side dishes, vegetables for 2-3 people, small sauce quantities. 18cm handles vegetables for 3-4 people, rice, pasta sides. 20cm accommodates main dishes, pasta for 4, soups, one-pot meals for 4-6 people. Consider your household size and typical cooking quantities.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eCan I use metal utensils with this pan?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, metal utensils can be used with care on stainless steel cookware. However, avoid harsh scraping or knocking metal utensils on the rim. Le Creuset recommends silicone, wooden, or heat-resistant plastic tools for best results and to maintain the pan's appearance over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eWhy shouldn't I add salt directly to the stainless steel surface?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUndissolved salt crystals sitting on stainless steel can cause pitting corrosion over time. Always add salt to hot cooking liquid or food where it dissolves immediately, rather than sprinkling it directly onto the dry or cold stainless steel surface. This simple practice maintains the pan's appearance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eCan this go in the dishwasher?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, both the saucepan and lid are dishwasher safe. However, hand washing with warm soapy water helps preserve the exterior finish and appearance longer. If using the dishwasher, harsh detergents may cause some discolouration over time, though this doesn't affect cooking performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eWhat does the Le Creuset lifetime guarantee cover?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLe Creuset's lifetime guarantee covers manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship. It doesn't cover damage from misuse, accidents, normal wear and tear, or damage from improper care such as thermal shock.

Always allow pans to cool for a few minutes before washing. This practice maintains the flat base essential for even heating, particularly important on induction and electric hobs where warped pans won't make proper contact.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eDo I need to use high heat with this pan?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo, the 3-ply construction's excellent heat distribution means medium or low heat produces best results, even for frying and searing. Let the pan heat gradually, then cook as normal. High heat can cause food to stick and may discolour the exterior over time. Lower heat gives better control and results.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"expert-box\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat We've Learned About Cookware Since 1972\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter five decades of selling cookware, we've learned that a properly fitting lid transforms cooking performance more than most cooks realise. The Le Creuset close-fitting lid creates a seal that retains moisture and flavour - particularly important for vegetables where you want to preserve nutrients and avoid waterlogged results. This simple feature turns a good pan into a versatile workhorse.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 3-ply construction represents genuine value for everyday cooking. The aluminium core conducts heat rapidly and evenly - far superior to thin single-layer pans where hot spots cause burning. Combined with the lid's moisture retention, these pans transform everyday tasks like cooking rice, steaming vegetables, or making sauces from frustrating to straightforward.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSize selection matters. Many customers buy too large, then find the pan unwieldy for daily use. The 16cm or 18cm handles most everyday cooking for 2-4 people, whilst the 20cm suits larger families or batch cooking. The 14cm excels at sauces and small portions. Le Creuset's lifetime guarantee demonstrates these pans endure - proper care means they'll outlast multiple sets of cheaper alternatives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"specs\" class=\"specs-box\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSizes Available:\u003c\/strong\u003e 14cm, 16cm, 18cm, 20cm\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIncludes:\u003c\/strong\u003e Close-fitting lid with each size\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHelper Handle:\u003c\/strong\u003e 16cm, 18cm, 20cm models (14cm has single handle only)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e14cm Dimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e W16cm x H13.1cm x L33.2cm\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e16cm Dimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e W18cm x H13.3cm x L38.6cm\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e18cm Dimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e W20cm x H15cm x L42.9cm\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e20cm Dimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e W22cm x H16.2cm x L45cm\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConstruction:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3-ply multi-layered stainless steel and aluminium\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Premium-grade stainless steel with aluminium core\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHob Compatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e All hobs including gas, electric, ceramic, halogen, induction\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOven Safe:\u003c\/strong\u003e Up to 260°C (including lid and handles)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMicrowave Safe:\u003c\/strong\u003e No\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/strong\u003e Close-fitting lid, precision pouring rim, even heat distribution\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDishwasher Safe:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes (hand washing recommended)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFreezer Compatible:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufactured In:\u003c\/strong\u003e China\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWarranty:\u003c\/strong\u003e Lifetime guarantee\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"care\" class=\"care-box\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCare \u0026amp; Use Instructions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBefore First Use:\u003c\/strong\u003e Remove all labels and packaging from both pan and lid.

This means sauté pans are better suited to searing as there is more surface area while shallow casseroles are better suited to dishes with liquid as food is less likely to get stuck in the corners. Cook steak, fish, sautéed potatoes in the sauté pan. Cook hot pot, casseroles, or other saucy dishes in a shallow casserole. The double handles on the shallow casserole make it easier and safer to move when full as you have more control of the pan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eWhich size should I choose?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 24cm suits 2-3 people for main dishes or 4 for sides. The 26cm handles 3-4 people comfortably. The 30cm is ideal for 4-6 people or when cooking larger quantities. For paella specifically, the wider the base, the better the socarrat (crispy bottom layer) development.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eWhy is a wide base important for paella?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePaella traditionally cooks in a thin, even layer to develop the socarrat - the prized crispy rice on the bottom. A wide, shallow pan provides maximum surface area relative to depth, ensuring even heat distribution and proper crust formation. The shallow sides also allow moisture to evaporate efficiently.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eCan I use this for braising?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, it's excellent for braising. Brown meat on the hob, add liquid, cover with the lid, and transfer to the oven. The wide base ensures even browning before braising, and the lid traps moisture during slow cooking. The oven-safe construction (up to 260°C) makes it suitable for long braises.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eIs this suitable for serving at the table?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, the polished stainless steel appearance and two handles make it suitable for table service.

This eliminates hot spots and ensures food cooks consistently, particularly important in a wide pan where uneven heating would be more noticeable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eCan I use this on induction hobs?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, the stainless steel construction works on all hob types including induction.

The 28cm (10.4L) accommodates larger quantities: stocks from whole chicken carcasses, ham joints, preserves, or batch-cooking for entertaining or freezing.

It's also significantly lighter, easier to move when filled with liquid, and requires no seasoning. Cast iron excels at heat retention for slow, even cooking and oven use, but for stockpots specifically used for liquids on the hob, many cooks prefer stainless steel's lighter weight and easier maintenance. The 3-ply construction in this Le Creuset pan addresses stainless steel's tendency toward hot spots by incorporating an aluminium core for even heat distribution.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eWill this work on my induction hob?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, Le Creuset designs their Signature Stainless Steel range for all hob types including induction.

The stainless steel construction won't react with acidic ingredients like fruit, and the precision-pour rim helps when transferring hot jam to jars.

First, customers repeatedly emphasise the exceptional quality and construction. One reviewer notes the product \"should last a lifetime,\" whilst another confirms that \"the quality of their products are to a very high standard.\" This aligns with what we've observed in our 52 years selling Le Creuset: their stainless steel range matches the build quality that made their cast iron famous.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSecond, customers appreciate the versatility for specific tasks. One reviewer mentioned purchasing it specifically \"to cook ham\" and found it ideal for this purpose. This reflects a common pattern we see – customers often buy stockpots with a particular use in mind (stocks, ham, preserves, batch soups) and then discover the pan's versatility extends to numerous other applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThird, there's honest acknowledgement of the premium pricing. One customer noted it's a \"quality product but very pricey.\" In our experience helping customers select cookware since 1972, Le Creuset represents an investment rather than an expense. The lifetime guarantee, Portuguese manufacture, and construction quality justify the price for customers who cook regularly and value equipment that performs reliably for decades. For occasional cooks or those on tight budgets, less expensive alternatives may be more appropriate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"comparison-box\" id=\"comparison\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eStainless Steel vs Cast Iron Stockpots\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhen Stainless Steel Excels\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStainless steel stockpots like this Le Creuset model offer significant advantages for liquid-based cooking. They're substantially lighter than cast iron – important when lifting a pot containing several litres of stock or soup. They heat and cool quickly, providing responsive temperature control when you need to adjust cooking intensity. The non-reactive surface won't be affected by acidic ingredients like tomatoes, wine, or vinegar, and there's no seasoning to maintain. Stainless steel also allows you to use metal utensils without concern and tolerates rigorous scrubbing if food sticks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhen Cast Iron Has Advantages\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCast iron retains heat exceptionally well, making it ideal for dishes that benefit from steady, even warmth over long periods, such as slow-cooked casseroles or braises. It transitions seamlessly from hob to oven and can tolerate higher oven temperatures. For cooking methods where you're braising meat or cooking dishes that spend extended time in the oven, cast iron's heat retention provides advantages.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eFor Stockpots Specifically\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost professional kitchens and experienced home cooks choose stainless steel for stockpots. The lighter weight matters considerably when handling large volumes of liquid, and the rapid heat response helps when bringing stocks to the boil or adjusting simmering temperatures. The 3-ply construction in this Le Creuset pan addresses the main criticism of budget stainless steel pans – uneven heating – by incorporating an aluminium core that distributes heat effectively throughout the base and sides.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"specs-box\" id=\"specs\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAvailable Sizes:\u003c\/strong\u003e 24cm diameter (6.6L capacity) or 28cm diameter (10.4L capacity)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConstruction:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3-ply bonded stainless steel with aluminium core\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eExterior Finish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mirror-polished stainless steel\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInterior Features:\u003c\/strong\u003e Laser-etched capacity markings for measurement\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLid Design:\u003c\/strong\u003e Iconic Le Creuset three-ring design in stainless steel\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRim:\u003c\/strong\u003e Precision-pour design for drip-free pouring\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHob Compatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e All hobs including gas, electric, ceramic, halogen, and induction\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOven Safe:\u003c\/strong\u003e Up to 260°C (lid included)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDishwasher Safe:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMicrowave Safe:\u003c\/strong\u003e No\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGuarantee:\u003c\/strong\u003e Lifetime\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufactured:\u003c\/strong\u003e Portugal\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"care-box\" id=\"care\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCare \u0026amp; Use Instructions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBefore first use:\u003c\/strong\u003e Wash the stockpot and lid in hot soapy water, rinse thoroughly, and dry completely. This removes any manufacturing residues.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCooking tips:\u003c\/strong\u003e Preheat the pan gently over low to medium heat before adding ingredients. The 3-ply construction distributes heat efficiently, so you typically need less heat than with standard stainless steel. Avoid overheating empty pans. When cooking acidic foods like tomato-based stocks or preserves, the stainless steel won't react or affect flavours.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDaily cleaning:\u003c\/strong\u003e Allow the pan to cool before washing. Wash with hot soapy water using a soft cloth or sponge. For stuck-on food, fill the pan with warm soapy water and leave to soak before washing. The stockpot is dishwasher-safe, though handwashing may help maintain the mirror polish longer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRemoving stubborn stains:\u003c\/strong\u003e For water marks or heat discolouration, use a specialist stainless steel cleaner or a paste of bicarbonate of soda and water. Apply with a soft cloth, rub gently following the grain of the steel, then rinse and dry thoroughly. For burnt-on food, fill the pan with water, add a tablespoon of bicarbonate of soda, bring to the boil, and simmer for 10 minutes before washing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaintaining the polish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dry the stockpot immediately after washing to prevent water spots. Occasionally polish with a dedicated stainless steel cleaner to maintain the mirror finish, always rubbing in the direction of the steel grain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat to avoid:\u003c\/strong\u003e Don't use steel wool or abrasive scourers on the exterior as these will scratch the polished finish. Avoid chlorine-based cleaners or bleach which can damage stainless steel. Don't plunge a hot pan into cold water as thermal shock can warp the base.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStorage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Store with the lid slightly ajar or separately to allow air circulation and prevent moisture accumulation. If stacking with other pans, place a cloth between them to protect the polished surfaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOven use:\u003c\/strong\u003e The stockpot and lid are oven-safe to 260°C.

Wipe the corkscrew with a damp cloth or wash in warm, soapy water. Pay attention to removing any wine residue from the spiral grooves. Dry thoroughly after washing - water left on the wood finish or metal can cause damage or staining. The cork stopper can be washed in warm, soapy water and dried thoroughly.

The spiral (also called worm or helix) penetrates all cork types effectively. Synthetic corks may require slightly more turning force initially but extract the same way. The two-step lever system provides ample mechanical advantage for any cork type.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eWhat if the cork breaks whilst I'm removing it?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf a cork breaks, reinsert the spiral at an angle into the remaining cork portion and extract carefully. Old, dry, or low-quality corks are most prone to breaking. The two-step lever system helps prevent breakage by distributing extraction force. For very old wines with fragile corks, consider using a two-prong cork puller (Ah-So) instead.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eHow long will wine stay fresh with the stopper?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cork stopper reduces air exposure but doesn't create a vacuum seal or remove oxygen already in the bottle. Expect 2-3 days for white wines and 3-5 days for reds when refrigerated with the stopper. For longer preservation, consider purpose-designed vacuum wine preservation systems.

Wine deteriorates when exposed to oxygen - this oxidation process causes wine to lose its aromas and develop flat or vinegary notes within 1-2 days. These vacuum stoppers address this by creating a seal that allows air to be pumped out of the bottle, significantly slowing oxidation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe stoppers work by creating a flexible seal around the bottle opening. When used with a wine pump (such as the Le Creuset WA-126, sold separately), air is extracted from inside the bottle to create a partial vacuum. This reduces oxygen contact with the wine, extending its drinkable life to 3-5 days rather than overnight.

These stoppers are designed to work with a vacuum wine pump (Le Creuset WA-126 or compatible models). The stoppers create the seal whilst the pump removes oxygen from the bottle. Without a pump, they function as basic stoppers but won't provide the vacuum preservation benefit that extends wine life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eHow does vacuum preservation work?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWine deteriorates when exposed to oxygen - this is what causes it to taste flat or vinegary after a day or two. Insert the stopper into your opened bottle, then use a wine pump to extract air from inside. This creates a partial vacuum that slows oxidation significantly. The vacuum seal can preserve wine quality for 3-5 days rather than the 1-2 days you'd get with a basic stopper.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eCan I use these with sparkling wine?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. Vacuum stoppers are designed for still wines (red, white, and rosé). Sparkling wines require pressure retention, not vacuum. Using a vacuum stopper on sparkling wine would actually remove the carbonation you're trying to preserve. For sparkling wines, you need a pressure stopper like the Le Creuset SW-101 or SW-106.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eWhy do I get two stoppers?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHaving two stoppers allows you to preserve multiple opened bottles simultaneously - perhaps a red and a white, or two different wines you're comparing.

However, some air will gradually seep back in over time - this is normal for all vacuum wine preservation systems.

Use dinner plates for main courses, side plates for accompaniments or desserts, and bowls for cereals, soups, salads, or puddings. The specialist clay construction maintains food temperature—keeping hot dishes warm and cold dishes chilled longer than ordinary dinnerware.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUtensil use:\u003c\/strong\u003e For best results, avoid using metal utensils directly on the dinnerware. Whilst the scratch-resistant glaze is durable, Le Creuset silicone tools, wooden implements, or standard cutlery used with reasonable care maintain optimal appearance. When cutting food, use appropriate pressure—the glaze resists normal use but excessive force with sharp knives can mark any dinnerware.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMicrowave use:\u003c\/strong\u003e All pieces are microwave safe for convenient reheating.

You can use plates for warming food or bowls for individual baked desserts or gratins. For frozen dishes, place in a cold oven and allow both to heat up together. For room-temperature items, don't preheat above 205°C.

Wipe any food residue from surfaces. For stuck-on food, soak in warm soapy water for 15-20 minutes before washing. Hand wash and dry, or place in the dishwasher for a full cycle.

The glaze resists scratching but proper loading prevents any potential marking. Place bowls on the top rack if preferred, though they're sturdy enough for bottom rack use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRemoving stains:\u003c\/strong\u003e Whilst the glaze resists staining, strongly pigmented foods like tomato sauce, curry, or beetroot may cause slight discolouration over extended use. For stubborn stains, make a paste of bicarbonate of soda and water, apply gently, let sit briefly, then wash. The staining is cosmetic and doesn't affect functionality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStorage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Stack plates by size (dinner plates together, side plates together) with paper towels or plate protectors between them if desired, though the durable glaze typically allows direct stacking. Nest bowls together. Ensure all pieces are completely dry before storing to prevent water spots or musty odours.

Use the 32cm (3.2L) dish for family-sized lasagne or pasta bakes, larger roasts, gratins serving 4-6 people, batch cooking, or when you need greater depth and capacity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePreparing dishes for cooking:\u003c\/strong\u003e Lightly grease the inside of the dish if needed, depending on your recipe.

For frozen dishes, place in a cold oven, set the temperature, and allow both to heat up together—never place frozen stoneware in a preheated oven. For room-temperature dishes, don't preheat your oven above 205°C (400°F).

Wipe any food residue from the interior. For stuck-on food, fill with warm soapy water and soak for 15-20 minutes before washing as usual.

Use butter, oil, or cooking spray. For cheese-topped dishes, the glazed surface cleans more easily than bare stoneware.

Single-layer stainless steel pans are significantly cheaper but provide inferior cooking results. The 3-ply construction justifies the premium price through superior performance and cooking consistency.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eCan I use these for eggs?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, though uncoated stainless steel requires proper technique for eggs. Preheat the pan thoroughly, add adequate butter or oil, and allow eggs to set before attempting to move them. For frequently cooking eggs, many cooks prefer non-stick pans. However, with practice, these pans produce excellent results for omelettes, fried eggs, and scrambled eggs, with superior browning compared to non-stick.

Always maintain at least 6.5cm (2½ inches) between the heat source and the top of the dish, as recommended by Le Creuset. Use oven gloves when handling, as stoneware retains heat extremely well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eCan I take this directly from the freezer to a hot oven?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo, you should not place a frozen dish into a preheated oven. Instead, place the frozen dish in a cold oven, set your desired temperature, and allow both to heat up together. This prevents thermal shock that could damage the stoneware. When reheating dishes at room temperature, avoid preheating your oven above 205°C (400°F).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eHow does stoneware compare to cast iron for oven dishes?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStoneware typically weighs less than cast iron whilst still maintaining excellent heat retention and even cooking. It's naturally non-reactive with acidic foods (useful for tomato-based dishes), requires no seasoning, and the glazed finish makes cleaning simpler than cast iron. Cast iron may retain heat slightly longer and can move from hob to oven, whereas stoneware is oven-only. For dedicated baking and roasting dishes, stoneware offers practical advantages.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eWhat size portions does a 32cm dish serve?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA 32cm rectangular dish typically serves 4-6 people for main courses like lasagne or roasted chicken, though capacity depends on the depth of ingredients.

Use it for individual portions of baked mac and cheese, pasta gratins, or personal lasagnes. If the bowl is at room temperature, place it in a cold oven and heat gradually together—don't preheat above 205°C.

It's designed for everyday breakfast portions rather than oversized servings. If you typically eat very large breakfast portions, measure your usual serving to verify this suits your needs. For children or those with smaller appetites, this size is generous. The depth provides adequate capacity whilst the diameter keeps the bowl manageable on breakfast tables and in cupboards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eHow does this compare to standard ceramic cereal bowls?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLe Creuset's specialist stoneware provides superior heat retention compared to standard ceramic bowls—your breakfast stays at optimal temperature longer. The scratch-resistant glaze withstands years of daily spoon contact without showing wear. The firing at highest temperatures creates exceptional strength and durability. The weight is noticeably heavier than standard bowls, contributing to stability and quality feel. Standard ceramic bowls cost less but typically require replacement every few years, whilst Le Creuset stoneware lasts decades.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eCan I put this bowl in the microwave?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, Le Creuset stoneware is microwave-safe. You can reheat porridge, warm milk for cereal, or heat soup directly in the bowl. The stoneware heats evenly without creating hot spots. Always use caution when removing from the microwave, as the bowl will be hot. Allow to cool slightly before handling or use an oven glove.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eWill the three-ring design get dirty or be hard to clean?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo, the three-ring design is glazed like the rest of the bowl—it's part of the smooth surface rather than grooves that trap food. The scratch-resistant glaze releases residue easily during washing. The rings are subtle raised details that add visual interest without creating cleaning difficulties. Dishwasher cleaning or hand washing cleans the entire bowl uniformly, including the rim design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"specs-box\" id=\"specs\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 16cm diameter\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Stoneware (specialist clays)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColour:\u003c\/strong\u003e Juniper (neutral green)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDesign Feature:\u003c\/strong\u003e Three-ring rim design\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTemperature Range:\u003c\/strong\u003e -23°C to 260°C\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMicrowave Safe:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOven Safe:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, up to 260°C\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrill Safe:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes (maintain 6.5cm gap from heat source)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFreezer Compatible:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDishwasher Safe:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWarranty:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10 years\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCountry of Manufacture:\u003c\/strong\u003e Thailand\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCare:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dishwasher safe or handwash with warm soapy water\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"care-box\" id=\"care\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCare \u0026amp; Use Instructions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBefore first use:\u003c\/strong\u003e Remove all labels and packaging.

If the bowl is at room temperature, place it in a cold oven and heat gradually together—don't preheat above 205°C. For frozen preparations, place the frozen bowl in a cold oven and allow both to heat together.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDaily cleaning:\u003c\/strong\u003e Allow the bowl to cool completely before washing. Rinse away cereal, porridge, or soup residue. For dried milk or stuck-on porridge, soak briefly in warm, soapy water to soften before washing. Hand wash and dry, or place in the dishwasher securely. The scratch-resistant glaze releases most residue easily without aggressive scrubbing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRemoving stubborn residue:\u003c\/strong\u003e For particularly stubborn dried porridge or baked-on foods, fill the bowl with warm, soapy water and let soak for 15-20 minutes before washing. For persistent stains, create a paste of baking soda and water, apply to affected areas, let sit briefly, then scrub gently with a soft brush or sponge. Rinse thoroughly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRemoving spoon marks:\u003c\/strong\u003e If metal spoons leave grey marks on the interior glaze, these are typically metal deposits rather than scratches. Remove them by rubbing gently with a paste of baking soda and water, then rinse. The scratch-resistant glaze itself remains undamaged—the marks are surface deposits that clean away.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStorage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Store the bowl clean and dry. Bowls can be stacked reasonably efficiently, though the stoneware weight means you shouldn't stack too many high. If stacking multiple bowls, ensure your cupboard shelf can support the weight. The durable construction means the bowl can be stored with other dishes without special precautions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAvoid:\u003c\/strong\u003e Never plunge hot bowls into cold water—this creates thermal shock that may cause cracking.

Use side plates for starters, side salads, desserts, bread and butter, cheese and biscuits, or smaller lunch portions. Use dinner plates for main courses. Many complete table settings include both sizes—dinner plates for mains, side plates for everything else. The 22cm size makes this Le Creuset plate versatile for multiple courses throughout a meal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eHow does the recessed base help with serving?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe recessed base creates a subtle well that helps contain salad dressings, dessert sauces, butter, or any liquids. This means you can serve dressed salads, saucy desserts, or buttered bread without liquids running to the plate edges. The design gives you freedom to plate generously without worry about mess, particularly useful when serving guests.

If the plate is at room temperature, place it in a cold oven and heat gradually together—don't preheat above 205°C. The stoneware's heat retention keeps desserts warm through service.

For frozen desserts, place the frozen plate in a cold oven and allow both to heat together. Never place frozen stoneware into a preheated oven. When using under the grill for browning, maintain at least 6.5cm between the heat source and the plate top.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDaily cleaning:\u003c\/strong\u003e Allow plates to cool completely before washing. Wipe away food residue. For dried dressings or sauces, soak briefly in warm, soapy water to soften before washing. Hand wash and dry, or place in the dishwasher securely. The scratch-resistant glaze releases most food easily without aggressive scrubbing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRemoving stubborn stains:\u003c\/strong\u003e Foods with strong colours (salad dressings, berry desserts, tomato-based dishes) may cause slight staining if left for extended periods. Create a paste of baking soda and water, apply to stained areas, let sit briefly, then scrub gently with a soft brush or sponge. Rinse thoroughly. Prompt cleaning after meals prevents most staining.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRemoving cutlery marks:\u003c\/strong\u003e If metal utensils leave grey marks on the plate surface, these are typically metal deposits rather than scratches. Remove them by rubbing gently with a paste of baking soda and water, then rinse. The scratch-resistant glaze itself remains undamaged—the marks are surface deposits that clean away.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStorage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Store plates clean and dry. Stack carefully with the largest plates at the bottom. If stacking many plates, ensure your cupboard shelf can support the weight—stoneware is heavier than standard ceramic. Consider placing paper towels or soft cloths between plates during long-term storage to prevent any potential marking, though the scratch-resistant glaze is quite robust.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAvoid:\u003c\/strong\u003e Never plunge hot plates into cold water—this creates thermal shock that may cause cracking.

This means you can serve roast dinners with gravy, pasta dishes with sauce, or curries with rice without liquids running to the plate edges and potentially spilling. The design gives you more freedom to plate generously without worry about mess, particularly useful when serving guests or children.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eIs 27cm a standard dinner plate size?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, 27cm is a classic dinner plate size that suits most table settings and provides adequate space for balanced main course servings. It's large enough for proper portions without being so oversized that it dominates tables or becomes difficult to store. If you prefer smaller portions or have limited cupboard space, Le Creuset offers this design in other sizes. If you regularly serve very large portions, measure your typical plating to ensure this suits your needs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eCan this plate go in the oven for warming or reheating?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, the plate is oven-safe up to 260°C. You can warm plates before serving, reheat individual portions, or even use it for oven-to-table dishes. If the plate is at room temperature, place it in a cold oven and heat gradually together—don't preheat above 205°C. For frozen plated meals, place the frozen plate in a cold oven and allow both to heat together. Always use oven gloves when handling, as the stoneware retains heat exceptionally well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eHow does the three-ring design benefit me?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe three-ring rim is Le Creuset's signature design feature that appears on their cast iron cookware. If you own or plan to acquire Le Creuset cast iron pieces, this plate coordinates beautifully for a cohesive collection. The design has become iconic—instantly recognisable as Le Creuset quality.

The scratch-resistant glaze withstands years of cutlery contact without showing wear. The Juniper colour is fired at extreme temperatures, creating a glass-like surface where the colour is integral to the glaze rather than painted decoration. Years of dishwasher cycles won't fade, dull, or alter the colour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"specs-box\" id=\"specs\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 27cm diameter\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Stoneware (specialist clays)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColour:\u003c\/strong\u003e Juniper\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDesign Features:\u003c\/strong\u003e Three-ring rim design, recessed base\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTemperature Range:\u003c\/strong\u003e -23°C to 260°C\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOven Safe:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, up to 260°C\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrill Safe:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes (maintain 6.5cm gap from heat source)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFreezer Compatible:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDishwasher Safe:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWarranty:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10 years\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCountry of Manufacture:\u003c\/strong\u003e Thailand\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCare:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dishwasher safe or handwash with warm soapy water\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"care-box\" id=\"care\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCare \u0026amp; Use Instructions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBefore first use:\u003c\/strong\u003e Remove all labels and packaging.

For frozen plated meals, place the frozen plate in a cold oven and allow both to heat together. Never place frozen stoneware into a preheated oven. When using under the grill for melting cheese or browning, maintain at least 6.5cm between the heat source and the plate top.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDaily cleaning:\u003c\/strong\u003e Allow plates to cool completely before washing. Wipe away food residue. For dried or stuck-on food, soak briefly in warm, soapy water to soften before washing. Hand wash and dry, or place in the dishwasher securely.

Remove them by rubbing gently with a paste of baking soda and water, then rinse. The scratch-resistant glaze itself remains undamaged—the marks are surface deposits that clean away.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStorage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Store plates clean and dry. Stack carefully with the largest plates at the bottom. If stacking many plates, ensure your cupboard shelf can support the weight—stoneware is heavier than standard ceramic. Consider placing paper towels or soft cloths between plates during long-term storage to prevent any potential marking, though the scratch-resistant glaze is quite robust.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAvoid:\u003c\/strong\u003e Never plunge hot plates into cold water—this creates thermal shock that may cause cracking.
