As beautiful as it is functional, this line of stoneware bakeware features superior performance in the oven or microwave and is ideal for baked goods and roasted dishes. Crafted of dense, enamel-glazed stoneware in our exclusive shade of graphite grey, the covered rectangular casserole dish blocks moisture absorption to prevent cracking and crazing and has a brightly colored exterior that resists scratches and stains. Its nearly non-stick interior effortlessly releases foods and cleans up easily. The lidded baking dish bakes up bread, casseroles and more, bringing attractive color and Le Creuset style to the kitchen and table. 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.
