The Le Creuset Shallow Oval Casserole, as the names states, is a shorter, wider take on the popular Round French Oven shape.  Descended from the classic French rondeau, the shallow design of the pan ensures efficient evaporation of liquids, and the wide cooking surface provides ample room for browning foods on the stovetop before long, slow oven or stovetop cooking.  As a finishing touch, each piece receives two coats of extremely hard-wearing enamel, ensuring bright color for a lifetime. When you're ready to unveil your culinary creation, easily take your main attraction from the kitchen to the table with Le Creuset for a beautiful eye-catching centerpiece.  Great shape for making succulent pasta dishes, risotto, rustic meat or poultry with vegetables, and poached fish to name a few.
