Its most distinctive feature is the daffodil-shaped lid, which makes it a beautiful piece in its own right whether it is in use or simply on display.

Wash in warm, soapy water, then rinse and dry thoroughly before use.\u003cbr\u003eUsing in the oven and under the grill: Always use oven gloves when handling a hot casserole. When using under the grill, leave at least 6.5cm between the heat source and the top of the dish. If reheating a dish that is currently at room temperature, do not preheat the oven above 205°C. If adding liquid to a dish already in the oven, remove the dish first and allow it to cool for a few minutes before adding the liquid.\u003cbr\u003eReheating from cold: Do not place a frozen dish into a preheated oven. Instead, put it in a cold oven and allow the temperature to rise gradually with the dish inside. Always check food is piping hot throughout before serving.\u003cbr\u003eCleaning: Allow the casserole to cool completely before washing. Wipe away any leftover food from the base and sides. If food is stuck, fill the casserole with warm, soapy water and leave it to soak for 15 to 20 minutes before washing as usual. Wash and dry by hand, or place in the dishwasher for a full cycle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eQUESTIONS AND ANSWERS\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eQuestion: Can this casserole be used on the hob?\u003cbr\u003eAnswer: No, this casserole is not designed for hob use. Le Creuset stoneware is intended for oven, grill and microwave cooking only and should not be placed directly on a gas, electric or induction hob. If you are looking for a Le Creuset piece you can use on the hob, their cast iron range would be worth exploring.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eQuestion: Will the dishwasher affect the glaze or finish over time?\u003cbr\u003eAnswer: Le Creuset confirms this stoneware is dishwasher safe and the glaze is designed to be durable in everyday conditions. As a general precaution, repeated dishwasher cycles over a long period can gradually dull the surface of any stoneware glaze, so hand washing is a sensible option if you want to keep the finish looking its best. The scratch-resistant glaze makes hand washing easy in any case.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eQuestion: What dishes work well in a 10cm casserole?\u003cbr\u003eAnswer: The 10cm size suits individual portions of things like baked eggs, crème brûlée, small gratins, individual pot pies, dips and single servings of sauces or side dishes. Its oven-to-table capability makes it especially useful for dishes you want to serve directly in the pot rather than transferring to a separate bowl.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eQuestion: How do I avoid thermal shock with stoneware?\u003cbr\u003eAnswer: Thermal shock happens when stoneware is exposed to a sudden, drastic change in temperature, which can cause cracking. The main thing to avoid is placing a frozen dish into a preheated oven. Instead, put it in a cold oven and allow the temperature to rise gradually with the dish inside. Similarly, do not set a hot casserole down on a cold or wet surface immediately after removing it from the oven.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Le Creuset","offers":[{"title":"Meringue","offer_id":55130875494778,"sku":"342402","price":20.25,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Sea Salt","offer_id":55130875527546,"sku":"342403","price":20.25,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Shell Pink","offer_id":55130875560314,"sku":"342404","price":20.25,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Rose Quartz","offer_id":56970836115834,"sku":"342465","price":20.25,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0072\/1875\/7690\/files\/80043257160003_1.jpg?v=1741607468","url":"https:\/\/aolcookshop.co.uk\/products\/le-creuset-la-jardin-petite-casserole","provider":"Art of Living Cookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
