Sear beautifully, then slow cook with all the flavour locked in.
The Le Creuset Signature Cast Iron Shallow Casserole 30cm is designed for generous family meals where searing and caramelisation matter. Its wide base provides maximum contact between your ingredients and the heat, making it ideal for browning meat and vegetables in a single layer before adding liquid for a slow-cooked meal.
With its shallow sides and generous 3.2L capacity, this versatile braiser is equally suited to searing, simmering, stir-frying, roasting and baking. The domed lid helps circulate steam to retain moisture and flavour, while the enamelled cast iron distributes and retains heat for even cooking.
Handmade in France since 1925, Le Creuset cast iron casseroles are famous worldwide and come with a lifetime warranty!

Use & Care:

Before first use
Wash your Le Creuset product in warm, soapy water; then rinse and dry thoroughly.
Cooking
Stay protected – always use oven gloves when handling anything hot. We recommend using Le Creuset Silicone Tools or wooden/heat-resistant plastic tools. Metal utensils may be used with care but they should not be used harshly or scraped over the cooking surface as this may cause damage. Use the product on the most appropriately sized hob ring — it’ll make your food cook more evenly, and reduce the risk of damage to the handles and sides. This is especially important on induction hobs: if you use the wrong-sized ring, there’s a risk the hob won’t ‘recognise’ the product. Cooking on medium or low heat gets the best results — even for frying and searing. Let the product heat up gradually for great tasting food that’s cooked evenly. If you do need to use a higher heat, lower the setting once the desired heat has been reached. Never slide the product on any glass-topped hob/stovetop, as this may cause damage to the product base and the glass. Instead, always lift the product on and off, or across the surface.
Cleaning
Wait for your product to cool down before you start cleaning it. Wipe any leftovers off the base and sides of the product. If there’s food stuck on, fill the product with warm, soapy water and let it soak for 15 to 20 minutes before washing as usual. Do not use abrasive cleaning agents or metal, harsh abrasive or very stiff cleaning pads or brushes on any of the surfaces. Dry well after washing and store in a dry place.
