Perfect for sauteing, shallow frying, steaming and serving dishes straight to the table, the enameled cast iron Signature Oval Casserole can handle everything from roasts and whole fish to vegetables and side dishes. The elongated oval shape is ideal for larger cuts of meat, hearty stews and baked casseroles meant to share. The sloped sides and wide cooking surface make stirring and serving a breeze. Use it with the lid as a traditional casserole for family meals, or without as a roaster or buffet dish when entertaining guests.
