 Perfect for Paella - Le Creuset Cast Iron 3.2L Shallow Casserole February 20, 2007

SHALLOW or BUFFET CASSEROLE 30 cm
Approx. Capacity - 3.2L
Boxed/Use and Care Instruction Booklet included.
Simply brilliant - this versatile `SHALLOW CASSEROLE/BUFFET CASSEROLE is ideal for all sorts of recipes. The wider, shallower shape is particularly useful for recipes that require `browning off' under a grill.
If you are looking for inspiration, Sue Cutts, the Le Creuset consultant, has some delicious recipes for these Le Creuset dishes, in her book :-
`The Cast Iron Way to Cook'
My favourite is:-
`Vegetable Casserole with Crispy Topping' which serves 4-6 as a main course or 6-8 as a starter or side dish.

Manufacturer's Details:- CAST IRON COOKWARE
`Favoured by professional chefs, cast iron cookware simply obtains the best cooking results from all heat sources.
Even heat retention allows cooking efficiency at low or medium temperatures, therefore conserving energy and keeping fuel bills lower.
Suitable for any hob-top or pop it in the oven; elegant enough to take to the dinner table.'
Easy to use and clean by hand or pop it in the dishwasher.
With a little care, these cast iron dishes last for years.
Available in a variety of other colours and sizes, too, all at an excellent price, on Amazon, today.
 Very useful - if you have space July 18, 2005

First things first, this thing is BIG. That's why I wanted it, but you have to be sure you have space to keep it as its presence is hard to ignore - especially in orange. Assuming you can accommodate it, everything else you know about enamelled cast iron applies to this too - it's wonderfully effective at retaining and distributing heat when you want to cook gently, less so when you want to up the temperature to sear a steak or a slab of tuna.The shape deserves some comment too. The short handles get hot and make the pan hard to manipulate on the hob, but conversely help it to work well in the oven, where the cast iron effect really comes into its own. Meanwhile, the gently sloping sides make it very attractive but they rather reduce the flat cooking area at the bottom, making the pan less commodious than it might be. They also make stirring a risotto or a paella a little fiddly as it's too easy to help the rice over the edge of the pan. I use this pan as a complement to a deeper, steep-sided, cast-aluminium sauté pan, which also has the advantage of a long handle. Risotti and stir-fries go in the sauté pan, slow-braised pork chops, boeuf en daube and sausage casserole in the Le Creuset. In conclusion, this is a specialist piece, not an all-rounder, but it's none the worse for that. If you can justify the space and cost, you'll enjoy using it and be pleased with the results.
