Review of Le Creuset Stoneware 14-1/4-Inch Oval Au Gratin, Red

I bought this pan off of Amazon through Chef's Resource a few weeks ago.I have made several things in it and all have turned out wonderfully.Once again, a great product from Le Creuset!
The only caveatI have is that this pan is not stoneware as described.I assumed this when I saw it on Amazon due to the hefty price. I contacted Amazon.com by phone and found them to be polite, but not too helpful.I later contacted Chef's Resource, who was offering the pan on Amazon at the time, and they assured me that the pan was indeed cast iron. I hope that Amazon will make the correction in the title and description of this product.I would not pay this price for stoneware, but the cast iron is well worth it!
