Le Creuset Stoneware Heritage 3 Rectangular Dishes, Cerise

The Le Creuset Stoneware Heritage 3 Rectangular Dishes, Cerise is a set of three stoneware baking dishes in Le Creuset’s signature cherry red. First, the set covers most everyday needs. Because the dishes go from the freezer to the oven and then to the table, one set handles prep, cooking and serving. As a result, you need fewer containers.

Three sizes that cover everyday cooking

The set includes a 7.5-inch dish (1.1 qt), a 10-inch dish (2.5 qt) and a 12.5-inch dish (4 qt). Each size suits a different job:

• Small (1.1 qt): for example, roasted vegetables, side dishes or a dessert for two.
• Medium (2.5 qt): for instance, a chicken bake, mac and cheese or a weeknight casserole.
• Large (4 qt): lasagna, enchiladas or baked pasta for a crowd.

Therefore, you can cook for one person or for a full table with the same set.

Even heat and a glossy, easy-clean glaze

The dense stoneware heats evenly and holds heat well. As a result, food cooks consistently and stays warm at the table. In addition, Le Creuset says the glaze is nonporous, non-reactive, and resists scratching, staining and cracking. Moreover, the glazed interior releases food easily, so cleanup is quick.

Easy care

Although the dishes are dishwasher safe, Le Creuset recommends hand washing. Therefore, wash them by hand to keep the finish looking new. Metal utensils are also safe to use, so you can serve straight from the dish.

Oven, broiler, freezer and microwave safe

Use the dishes in the oven and under the broiler at up to 500°F. However, keep them at least 2.5 inches from the broiler element. They are also freezer and microwave safe. Therefore, you can prepare a dish ahead, freeze it, and bake it in the same container.

Designed for serving

The scalloped handles make the dishes easy to carry with oven mitts. Likewise, the Cerise color looks good on the table, so there is no need to move the food to another dish. Finally, Le Creuset backs the set with a 10-year limited warranty. Compare current prices for the Cerise set and other colors on Discompare.
