Review of Le Creuset Stoneware 11-1/2-Inch Oval Dish, Red

One of the best things about using the right tool for the job is that it makes you look like you know what you're doing. The Le Creuset oval dish is like that. Instead of reaching for some two-dollar faux Pyrex dish to cook your mac and cheese in, grab the Le Creuset. That way, you can set it, all crusty and golden, on the dinner table and announce to your family that you're serving them a gratin and they'd darn well better appreciate all your hard work. Who knows? It might provoke you to fiddle with the recipe while you're at it.

On the technical side, this is one good, heavy piece of stoneware, well designed for a long, long life. It's got good solid handles so you're not scrabbling for a grip or constantly dipping your pot holder into the food. It's oven-safe to 500 degrees, microwave safe, freezer safe...probably not totally kid safe so I don't recommend its use as a shield in the neighborhood wars. Anyone who has seen my reviews of other Le Creuset kitchenware will know that I have a real fondness for the cherry red color, but there are some other good choices for the more sedate cook.

Product Description

Poterie Stoneware can be used in the oven, broiler or microwave and will not absorb odors or flavors. The durable finish resists chipping, scratching and staining. These beautiful pieces with their bold classic colors and sure grip handles go straight from baking to the table making a beautiful presentation, then into the refrigerator or freezer for storage.
