As beautiful as it is functional, this square baking dish delivers superior performance in the oven or microwave and is ideal for baked goods and roasted dishes. The square lidded baker in cheerful cherry red bakes up bread, casseroles and more, bringing Le Creuset style and color to the kitchen and table. Crafted of dense stoneware and glazed with enamel, the dish blocks moisture absorption to prevent cracking and crazing. The nearly non-stick enamel finish effortlessly releases foods and resists scratches and stains. Revered by both professional chefs and home cooks since its 1925 debut, Le Creuset's classic French cookware is prized for its utilitarian good looks and unsurpassed heat retention.
