This is a fabulous and stylish orange enamel lidded casserole dish made by Le Crueset.
It is nearly new and in excellent vintage condition. It is clean inside and on the base with no chips or cracks.
It is oval in shape with heavy-duty handles on the lid and also on the base section. It is 32 cm at the longest point on the main body and has the number 16 on the base.
The pot has a capacity of 7.2 litres and can be electric, gas, induction, ceramic, halogen hobs etc.
These ovenwares are made for the special Doufeu cooking method which was developed by Le Creuset. If you look the lid has a deep indentation on it. This is a reservoir for cold water or ice. Application of cold items here and exaggerates the condensation reaction inside and helps to enhance the flavours of your items cooking inside. I am sure that seasoned chefs etc will know how this works.
These pots are expensive as new and with a normal retail price at around £340.
As you can see from my photographs, it is a nice example. Clean with no burn marks etc. A very good deal if you are looking for one.
