Customer Reviews

Good product, small package
The first thing to know about the 12-oz casserole is that it's small -- good for individual servings of soup or other dishes, but not intended for much more.

As with all Le Creuset products, this is very attractive and made of high quality materials. I have two, and use them for hot appetizers/dips placed on either end of a large banquet table. It's also an elegant way, if not the most convenient, to warm up leftovers. I gave it four stars because the size limits its utility; if you know you want smaller casseroles, these are a good choice.

Excellent for serving up individual portions
I love using these 12-ounce petite oval casseroles because they are durble, wash up easily, and make for a beautiful presentation. This combination of attributes is what really makes them valuable because I can use them everyday without worrying that they will chip and break. I typically wash them by hand or in the top rack of the dishwasher and have not had any issues with fading or chipping.

I tend to use them a lot of serving soups and invidual portions of casseroles like baked macaroni and cheese or individual pot pies. They make my presentation a little more special and always earn me comments from my guests.

The one thing worth noting is that these are stoneware, not enameled cast iron. I realize this is stated clearly in the title but still worth repeating since the brand is known more for their cast iron products like dutch ovens and I would hate for someone to order this expecting cast iron and get stoneware instead. That said, they still do a pretty good job of retaining heat, but not nearly as well as the cast iron.

Overall these are fantastic and after owning them for over a year I have no complaints. I highly recommend them.
