Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Le Creuset L2532-3000 3 1/2 qt. Buffet Casserole (Satin Black)
Customer Review: Perfect size! The one pan that does it all!
Summary: 5 Stars
I just received my Le Creuset Casserole a few weeks ago and LOVE it! I was a little 'on the fence' about the size before I bought it, but I've found that it's the perfect size. I've used it as intended (making a casserole), but I've also been able to use it in place of my skillet. The pan is nice and wide, and I've been able to brown 6 chicken breasts in it. The lid is nice and heavy, with a tight fit. I cooked and simmered a meat dish in it tonight and it made everything very tender and moist. This is a very adaptable piece of cookware. I think I will end up cooking most of my meals in this pan.
As most Le Creuset pieces, clean up has been a breeze. I just let it cool, soak in in a little water, and it wipes clean. Very easy!
As I said before, I am very happy I went with the 3.5 qt. size instead of the larger 5 qt. I usually cook about 4-6 servings at a time and have found that this works great for us. I would only suggest the 5 qt size if you are cooking for 8+ on a regular basis.
Description of Le Creuset L2532-3000 3 1/2 qt. Buffet Casserole (Satin Black)
3 1/2 qt. Buffet Casserole - Matte BlackBeautiful enough to bring to the table and durable enough to outlive its 101-year warranty against defects, this heavy casserole is perfect for preparing and ceremoniously serving a dish such as baked pasta or braised short ribs. Use it in the oven or on the stovetop. Made of cast iron, with an exterior and interior clad in Le Creuset's famous enamel, the casserole holds 3-1/2 quarts and measures 12 inches in diameter and 2-1/2 inches high without the lid. Cast iron is unexcelled for heat distribution and retention, so this casserole cooks foods evenly and gently without hot spots. The knob on its heavy, tight-fitting lid is ovenproof to 450 degrees F. Loop handles facilitate carrying, and the casserole is dishwasher-safe. Like all Le Creuset products, this casserole dish is made in France. --Fred Brack
