Le Creuset Cast Iron Round Casserole, Granite, 24 cm

Bought the Le Creuset Le Creuset - Cast Iron Casseroles - Granite several months ago. They're much heavier that they look. I should know, I carried from the cookshop to the car and that was a long walk! Since then it's been used for all kind of different things, stews, chilli, even Mulled Wine. The Le Creuset Le Creuset - Cast Iron Casseroles - Granite cleans up really easily, hand washed or through the dishwasher, and still looks brand new. Yes, it is quite expensive, but you really do get what you pay for - decent quality & hard wearing. I expect this will still look just as new in several years time. If you want to find out more about it check this out .

I've written some great information about Le Crueset Dutch Ovens on my blog.  There are also some other posts with recipes there for dishes that are ideal for Le Crueset.

They can be heavy, but that's also why they cook so evenly.  Talk about durable - they will outlive you!  Prices do vary, and rebates or free shipping are often available.  the above link will give you a number of choices and options (as well as places to go for ALL nine of the colors.  I use the granite color, but wish I had been more adventurous.)
