Customer Review: What Color, Great Fun, a Real Delight to Use!
Summary: 5 Stars
I have collected all of Le Creuset's fruit and vegetable shaped cast iron enameled casseroles. This was the first one that I bought and I have used it the most. They are beautiful to display on a table or on a kitchen counter and very practical in cooking delightful casseroles, soups, stews and other wonderful dishes. The color that they can add to a kitchen brightens every vist there. The exterior and interior enamel coating is very durable and easy to clean. I have cooked a multitude of dishes in these casseroles and have found them to be excellent in heat conduction and preventing "hot spots". The wider and lower shaped casseroles are a little better in spreading the heat.
The warranty against defects of 101 years will certainly last beyond my expected needs but it is nice to know that I have the protection since these are not inexpensive purchases.
The comments of guests served from these casseroles is always positive and never fails to bring a smile to my face.
There is a drawback to these whimsical cookers and that is the rim of both the top and bottom of the casseroles. There is no enamel on these rims and they can rust if not dried immediately after hand washing. They are dishwasher safe but I do recommend that you hand wash and dry immediately. I also recommend that you let them sit out for an hour or so to air dry before storing them.
When wet this casserole can be very slippery and the handles on the bottom and top help in preventing dropping them. Be really careful!
Finally, closely inspect your casserole when it arrives. My first garlic casserole had a two inch crack in the enamel. I did not have to contact Le Crueset since Amazon.com immediately sent a replacement to me and had the defective item picked up at my home at no charge. I commend them for standing behind the products they sell.
Description of Le Creuset Enameled Cast-Iron 2-1/4-Quart Pumpkin Casserole, Flame
Nothing says "I love you" like pot roast! Or perhaps Boeuf Bourguignon, or Chicken with Dumplings, even Lobster Bisque? We know there's a strong connection between the stomach and the heart, so cook your sweetheart's favorite dish for that special day. This aptly-designed pot will not only do a great job cooking the feast, it makes a brilliant presentation, and adds a cheery note to your kitchen anytime of year.Beautiful enough to bring to the table and durable enough to outlive its 101-year warranty against defects, this heavy, 2-1/4-quart casserole is shaped like an orange pumpkin, perfect for preparing and ceremoniously serving a vegetable stew or other festive dish. Suitable for the oven or for browning meat and sweating vegetables on gas, electric, induction, or ceramic ranges, and delightful to behold on the countertop when not in use, the casserole is made of cast-iron and clad inside and out in Le Creuset's famous bright enamel, which won't absorb odors or flavors and readily scrubs clean. As cast-iron is unexcelled for heat distribution and retention, the casserole cooks foods evenly and gently without hot spots. The knob on its heavy, tight-fitting lid is ovenproof to 450 degrees F. Handles facilitate carrying, and the casserole is dishwasher-safe. Like all of Le Creuset's renowned cookware and bakeware, it's made in France. --Fred Brack
