The classic round cast iron casserole in azure blue, the one pot that handles the Sunday roast, the winter stew and everything in between. Cast iron holds a steady heat, the lid traps the moisture, and the whole thing goes from hob to oven to the middle of the table without a second dish in sight.

Questions Customers Ask
How many people does a 26cm pot feed?
It is the popular family size, comfortable for a stew or roast for roughly four to six, depending on how generous you are.
Will it work on induction?
Yes. It is suitable for the oven, hob, induction and grilling.
Can the whole thing go in the oven?
Yes, and the knob is heat resistant up to 260°C, so the lid can stay on.
What heat should I use?
Steady low to medium heat is best. Cast iron holds heat well, so high heat is rarely needed and is harder on the pan.
Is the pale interior a pain to keep clean?
The light enamel is designed for easier cleaning, and it helps you judge how well your browning and sauces are coming along.
Is it heavy?
Cast iron always is, and that weight is what holds the heat. The large handles are there so you can lift it safely with both hands.

Le Creuset Round Casserole 26cm Azure Blue
STORAGE: Freezer Compatible
BEFORE FIRST USE: Enjoy unboxing your new purchase! (And make sure to remove the labels and packaging.) 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 a 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/stove top, 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.
Casserole body: Casseroles with built-in cast iron and phenolic handles are dishwasher-safe. However, constant dishwashing may lead to dulling of the enamel finish.
Casserole lid: Lids with stainless steel and phenolic knobs are dishwasher-safe. Lids with gold, iridescent, copper and black nickel knobs should be hand-washed to maintain their finish.
Crafted in the same French foundry since 1925, Le Creuset Cast Iron cookware is renowned for its exceptional heat retention and distribution that locks in flavour and keeps food moist and tender. It accommodates various cooking techniques - allowing you to stew, braise, roast, fry, grill, bake and even freeze.
Le Creuset Cast Iron offers the versatility to cook on any heat source, including induction. It will give excellent cooking results on the hob at low to medium heat settings, in the oven or under the grill. Cast Iron is excellent at retaining heat and can help to save energy when cooking by staying warmer for longer after the heat source is turned off or served to the table.
The iconic cookware, available in an extensive range of shapes from casseroles to skillets, grills, and more, features an easy-to-clean and durable enamel that resists dulling, staining, chipping, and cracking. Each piece is finished in an enamel colour that beautifully complements any kitchen or dining decor. There is a rainbow of hues to choose from, whether bold shades such as Cerise, Volcanic or Azure are preferred, trend colours, or softer neutrals.
The range is suitable for all heat sources, including induction, and oven-safe* to 260°C. It is also dishwasher safe.
A Lifetime Guarantee covers each product in the range.
* Not suitable for microwave ovens.
