Editorial Review

Le Creuset is famous for coating its heavy, cast-iron cookware with not just one, but two--count 'em, two--layers of enamel baked on at 1,450 degrees F, resulting in gloriously bright colors. This bright-red, heart-shaped casserole adds a note of whimsy to dishes, but its 2-quart capacity, handles, and heavy-duty construction make it practical as well. Both its interior and exterior are enameled--as are the bottoms of all Le Creuset pots and pans--to prevent scratching glass-topped stoves. The enamel surface will not react with any acidic foods and is easy to clean. The weight and nature of cast iron make for even heat distribution. This cookware gives you all the benefits of cast iron without the painstaking care. --Schuyler Ingle ... Read more

101 Year Warranty says it all!
Not only are Le Creuset products beautiful, they are well designed and extremely durable. How many companies offer a 101 year warranty on cookware???? Le Creuset is the only one I know of to offer such a warranty, which in my opinion demonstrates the quality you receive when purchasing their items.

As for this particular design, it has to be my favorite, whether for special occassions or everyday use. I get so many compliments about my unique cookware.

Trust me, you'll be delighted if you purchase the Heart Casserole!!

Be My Valentine with Whimsy, Beauty, and Function!
I have collected all of Le Creuset's fruit and vegetable shaped cast iron enameled casseroles. In my 40+ years of cooking these casseroles are at the top of my list for beauty and functionality. They are beautiful to display on a table or on a kitchen counter and very practical in cooking delightful casseroles, soups, stews and other wonderful dishes. The color that they can add to a kitchen brightens every vist there. The exterior and interior enamel coating is very durable and easy to clean. I have cooked a multitude of dishes in these casseroles and have found them to be excellent in heat conduction and preventing "hot spots". The wider and lower shaped casseroles are a little better in spreading the heat.

The warranty against defects of 101 years will certainly last beyond my expected needs but it is nice to know that I have the protection since these are not inexpensive purchases.

The comments of guests served from these casseroles is always positive and never fails to bring a smile to my face.

There is a drawback to these whimsical cookers and that is the rim of both the top and bottom of the casseroles. There is no enamel on these rims and they can rust if not dried immediately after hand washing. They are dishwasher safe but I do recommend that you hand wash and dry immediately. I also recommend that you let them sit out for an hour or so to air dry before storing them.

When wet this casserole can be very slippery and the handles on the bottom and top help in preventing dropping them. Be really careful!

Finally, closely inspect your casserole when it arrives. My first garlic casserole had a two inch crack in the enamel. I did not have to contact Le Crueset since Amazon.com immediately sent a replacement to me and had the defective item picked up at my home at no charge. I commend them for standing behind the products they sell.

Great gift for others and yourself.....
I bought this little casserole for my daughter, and I liked it so much I bought one for me.The size is small enough for a casserole for a two-person household like mine, or a rice or bread pudding. Used for storage of leftovers--it is perfect.Besides, it's pretty.Great gift for yourself or others.

The only downside is that cast iron pans with enamel coverings are at risk for chipping.My pot came with little rubber separators that suspand the lid above the pot.My daughter asked me if she should take them off when she baked, and I said yes, but save them because they will protect the sides of your pot.

Another thing I like is that the pot came packed in biodegradable peanuts.Don't know if it was the French manufacturer or the shipping source, but keep up the good work. All shippers should take a hint.There is no need to use the old plastic peanuts. If the corn starch peanuts work with a heavy pan, they will work with anything. ... Read more

I ADORE this little pot!
Cooking is actually a pleasure when you have tools that are as colourful and cheerful as this little pot. It is just beautiful to look at, and a joy to use. (I never thought I could get so excited about a simple pot!) This little green pepper cooks evenly, in the oven or the stovetop, and clean up is a breeze. I've use this to make casseroles for 2-4, sides for 4-6, even soups and sauces. Jambalaya is one dish particularly well-suited for this pot -- straight from simmering on the stove to the table, it's gorgeous. I'm planning to get the tomato or pumpkin next.

We fell in love with the pepper pot
At first, when I bought this, I thought it wasn't going to be useful as our favorite red Creuset dutch oven. But slowly, we began to use this pepper-shaped pot as the default oatmeal or vegetable cooking pot.

The pot heats slowly and evenly, and it is especially good for soups, frozen veggies, cereals and puddings. It can go to the table as a server for a side or a soup. We leave this out on our white stove as a sort of kitchen decor, it gets used all the time.I love these Creuset pots for cooking--the enamel is healthful compared to metal or non-stick, and cleaning up is easy. Can't recommend this one enough. ... Read more

Great pot
this is my first Le Creuset casserole. When I first received it, it was smaller than i was expecting. But after cooking with it couple times, I really fall in love with it! Now I always clean it after using, and have it on my stove top in the kitchen! it's so cute and fun!

More beautiful than I ever knew cookware could be, A+++++
The pumpkin casserole is my first piece ofLe Creuset, and it is awesome. I find it's easier to keep my kitchen clean because I WANT to clean this casserole dish. It displays beautifully on my stove, saving me cabinet space, and it works better than any nonstick pan I've ever used. I am in love with this cookware, and plan to eventually replace almost every cooking item I own with Le Creuset. It is the most artful and functional cookware I've ever encountered. The only thing that might be a drawback for some is the heavy weight of it, but hey, it's good exercise, right? I think it is worth every penny. ... Read more

Love love love it!
I received this tomato pot for my wedding last year, and it has not yet been put into my cupboard. I keep it out on my stove!

I have made rice, potatoes, soup and sauces in it ... all to perfection. It really works and I have no complaints with it. It was actually my favorite gift, looking back. And the one I have used the most.

I plan to collect as many Le Creuset items as I can ... they are beautiful, durable ... and I remember coveting my roommate's when we were in college.

For the reviewer who can't believe people pay $100 for a casserole dish: What about as a nice gift for someone who will treasure it forever?

The RIPEST Tomato!
This casserole is excellent.I bought this one, and the green pepper, as a set to use when serving salsas and sauces.They look great on the table together.Then I went and gave them their own shelf and they've been so pretty together up there.I get compliments on them EVERY TIME someone new comes into my kitchen - often from regulars who just admire them all the time.I think they are worth the money just for the quality and uniqueness of the product but make no mistake, as darling as they are they are real workhorses when it comes to cooking and serving and a delight to use for host and guest alike.

Both of my pots came with a "stemlike" handle, not the round handle shown in the pic.Check out the yellow pepper to see the handle you'll probably get. ... Read more

love it
One of the best pieces I've bought. I don't even need to buy a skillet as I use this for everything instead.This is the cheapest price I've seen.

Le Creuset products deserve their wonderful reputation
Le Creuset has a reputation for creating high-end, high-quality products, and the buffet casserole certainly helps maintain that reputation.I purchased one as an early Christmas present for myself, and have been using it every day (sometimes several times a day) since I got it.So far, I've used it to scramble eggs, caramelize onions, bake a chicken, roast garlic, brown meats, make pancakes - you name it.

My favorite way to use it is in the oven.The lid fits so well there's almost no loss of moisture, which means I no longer need to use oven baking bags or foil in order to retain moisture in food being baked.

True to their advertising, cleanup is a breeze.There is no such thing as "burned on food" - A few minutes soaking in warm soapy water is all that's needed to make even the most stubborn food release from the dish.

I was so impressed with the performance and versatility of the buffet casserole that I bought several more, which I gave as Christmas presents.

A versatile basic
For a small kitchen or a single or small family, this is one of those handy pieces you tend to keep on the stove right next to the tea kettle. Functions as a medium-large skillet, low stewpot, round roasting pan, and small-medium casserole. Heat a tortilla, fry sausage & potatoes, scramble eggs, grill a cheese sandwich, do a ham slice with pineapple, bake macaroni & cheese or green bean casserole, make chicken & rice or pork chops & kraut or pot roast & veggies, saute onions or mushrooms, fry salmon patties or crab cakes, scallop potatoes or cauliflower or oysters, stew tomatoes or apple slices, stir up Rice-a-Roni or a frozen stir-fry mix, roast a chicken or batch of veggies, bake cornbread or gingerbread or an upside-down cake! This brand absolutely cannot be beat for gently cooking anything on low to med heat (for high heat use Scanpan). A few minutes soaking and ANYTHING washes off in a snap.Limited on space?This baby replaces the need for LOTS of other pots & pans, and does so in grand style! ... Read more

Editorial Review

A perfect complement to Le Creuset's tomato, bell pepper, and pumpkin casserole dishes, this garlic-shaped casserole adds panache to your cookware collection. It also signals devotion to one of the world's most popular bulbs, and what garlic fan could resist that? Like most of Le Creuset's innovative and attractive cookware line, this dish is comfortable both in the oven and on the table, with the versatility to bake, broil, refrigerate, or freeze your casseroles, vegetable medleys, or one-pot meals. It's especially suited to dinner parties and other showy occasions, as the unique garlic profile is a sure attention grabber.

Le Creuset's enameled cast-iron construction gives the casserole unrivaled heat retention on the inside for efficient, thorough cooking, and a durable exterior surface that's attractive and long lasting. Cast iron also holds its heat long after exposure to the oven, keeping your food warm on the table. An easy-to-clean, impermeable sand enamel coats the inside of the dish, ensuring that odors and flavors don't attach themselves to the surface. To prevent nutrients and flavors from escaping, the casserole features a tight-fitting lid that seals in heat during cooking. Add two side handles for carrying and a limited lifetime warranty, and you will soon value this versatile casserole as much as the bulb that inspired it. The dish is oven-safe to 450 degrees F and is dishwasher-safe. --Rivers Janssen ... Read more

• Limited lifetime warranty
• Enameled cast-iron construction cooks efficiently in the oven at low or medium heat
• Sand-enamel interior is easy to clean and resists flavors and odors
• Tight-fitting lid seals in nutrients and flavors

Beauty and Function with Style
I so enjoy all of Le Creuset's fruit and vegetable shaped cast iron enameled casseroles. They are beautiful to display on a table or on a kitchen counter and very practical in cooking great casseroles. The exterior and interior enamel coating is very durable and easy to clean. I have cooked a multitude of dishes in these casseroles and have found them to be excellent in heat conduction and preventing "hot spots".

My favorite use for this casserole is a Romanian dish that inculdes corn meal, three kinds of tasty cheeses, sour cream and bacon (mamaliga). It produces a bubbling mass of flavor and the cast iron casserole keeps this creation hot after serving. The garlic shape of the casserole fits in nicely with many of the meals that are cooked in it since I am a true lover of the garlic spice. Many Romanian dishes are not for those watching their cholesterol, but on occassion, to indulge in these little diet busters is a delight.

There is a drawback to these whimsical cookers and that is the rim of both the top and bottom of the casseroles. There is no enamel on these rims and they can rust if not dried immediately after hand washing. They are dishwasher safe but I do recommend that you hand wash and dry immediately. I also recommend that you let them sit out for an hour or so to air dry before storing them.

When wet this casserole can be very slippery and the handles on the top and bottom help in preventing dropping them.

Finally, closely inspect your casserole when it arrives. My first garlic casserole had a two inch crack in the enamel. Amazon.com immediately sent a replacement to me and had the defective item picked up at my home at no charge. I commend them for standing behind the products they sell!

A little more garlic, please!
I have several of the Le Creuset casseroles because I love the way they look, and they keep food moist and tender. The lid on the garlic casserole does not have the typical handle on top; the handles are on the sides on both the top and bottom of the pot. This makes it a little more awkward when cooking, but otherwise it wouldn't look so much like a garlic! The pot is much more attractive than the picture is. The shape and soft white color make a nice contrast to the other pots, and this makes my whole collection look better. It is quite a conversation piece, and very useful, too.

Garlic gets cute
Alright, I do not own this adorable dish, I am just a fanatic of all things garlic.This is just to cute and unique looking, yeah, it is on my wishlist!This would be an attractive and conversational way to present dinner. ... Read more

Dinner for two with some leftovers? At 1-1/2 quarts, this is the perfect-size casserole. You can take it out of the freezer, pop it into a cold oven, and heat it up to as high as 500 degrees F. Or put it under the broiler, then use it in the microwave. You can even serve from this casserole, because it's Le Creuset, which is to say it's colorful and stylish. The baked-on interior and exterior enamel coating means this pot will not react with any acidic foods and is easy to clean by hand or in the dishwasher. --Schuyler Ingle ... Read more

Not realy Le Creuset Quality
This item is not made in France, but made in Thailand. The lid is NOT tight fitting, quite the opposite really. Still the pot looks nice, and is a good size for one or two person stews.

Technical data information
I contacted Le Crueset directly and they advised that this casserole is only safe for microwave and oven.Please see their email response below:

Hello,
Thank you for your interest in Le Creuset. Poterie cannot be used on the stovetop, only in the microwave and in the oven. It is not designed for direct heat, if it used it will cause breakage to the item. If we can further assist you let us know.

Incorrect Tech Data / Questionable quality
In addition to NOT being stovetop safe, as pointed out by a previous reviewer, the tech data also indicates country of origin: France. Mine was marked: Made in Tialand. It clearly is not up to the standards of my French produced pieces - main complaint is the poorly fitting lid - the top litterally skitters around on a 1/2" gap (horizontally) between the top and bottom lips - a very poor fit/tolerance. There are also several blemishes in the stoneware transalting into either dimples (innies) or pimples (outies) in the glaze finish - basically caused by impurities in the slurry mixture or poorly handled molds. Although none of this will impact the intended function of this baker / casserole, when one pays the big price for Le Creuset, one expects top notch form AND function. If all I expect is function I can drop a few bucks for Pyrex. ... Read more
