Why this casserole dishe earns its place
This oval cast iron casserole dish gives you a solid 5 litre capacity in a red finish that is made to be used, not just looked at. It is built around the strengths cast iron is known for: excellent heat retention and even heat distribution, so it suits cooking that benefits from steady heat through the dish.
The handles make it easier to move, and the stainless steel knob gives the lid a practical finishing touch. The form is straightforward and purposeful, with the sort of construction that makes sense in a busy kitchen where cookware needs to work hard and still look presentable.
It can also be used as attractive presentation, which makes it useful where food goes from cooking straight to service. It is not dishwasher safe, so hand washing should be expected, but in return you get a robust casserole dish that is built for everyday kitchen use.
