Which Size Le Creuset Casserole Should You Buy?

A simple guide to choosing the right Le Creuset casserole dish for the way you cook, the size of your kitchen and the meals you make most often.

A Le Creuset casserole should suit the way the kitchen is used.

Shape, size and weight matter more than choosing the most dramatic colour.

Choose by cooking style

Round casseroles are the safest all-rounders for soups, stews, curry, bread and one-pot meals.

Think about shape

Shallow casseroles are useful for risotto, pasta and serving at the table. Oval casseroles suit whole chickens and longer cuts.

Pick a usable size

A medium pot is often the best first choice. Large pots are useful for batch cooking but can be heavy when full.

Choose a colour to keep

Cream, volcanic orange, teal and coastal blue all work beautifully. The best colour is one that will still feel right in ten years.
