Le Creuset Signature Oval Gratin Dish Cerise 28 cm - B0117T65MYZ

Product Description

The shallow elongated shape of this dish is perfect for producing a lovely browned crust. It can also fit easily under a grill or in the top of an oven when you are still cooking a meal and need space to keep finished dishes warm. Because it is made of cast iron, this sturdy dish can also be put directly on top of the hob for de-glazing sauces, which is not the case with many dishes made from other materials and it will stand the test of time. With its elegant shape, larger handles, vivid colours and heat-retaining qualities, you'll discover that a Le Creuset gratin dish is the perfect ‘cook and serve’ dish. Many recipes can also be prepared in advance, chilled and then baked as needed – all in the same dish. It is also suitable for marinating because the enamel surface is non-reactive and will not stain or absorb flavours. If you already own a Le Creuset casserole, this dish will complement it perfectly well too. You could for example roast a chicken in the casserole and serve it with dauphinoise potatoes in the gratin dish. Or you could cook a seafood gratin in the dish and serve it with vegetable accompaniments in the casserole. The possibilities are endless.

Tips for Preventing Rust

• Never soak the pan: Since cast iron is so vulnerable to rust, it’s best to limit your pan’s exposure to water as much as possible.


• Don’t let the pan air dry: Wipe off any excess water with a towel immediately after rinsing. To get your skillet bone dry, pop it on the burner to remove extra moisture


• Lightly oil after use: Once dried, rub your skillet with a thin layer of vegetable oil before storing


• Seasoning: Drop a tablespoon of vegetable oil on the pan/utensil and spread it around with your fingers or a paper towel. (Take care not to burn yourself on a warm skillet!). Oil the outside and the handle, too. Next, take a folded napkin and wipe off the excess oil. You’ll want the skillet to be lightly greased. Set your oven to 350 degrees and put some aluminum foil on the bottom rack. Then pop the skillet in, upside down, on the upper rack for about 1 hour. Turn the oven off and leave the pan inside until it’s cool. The oil will bake into the pores of the pan, providing a non-stick finish
