The Le Creuset Essential 28cm Shallow Casserole pairs a broad cooking area with a 3.2 L capacity. Its low profile and rounded sides help with stirring, sautéing, browning and finishing dishes, offering control as you move ingredients around the pan during everyday cooking.
The shallow shape is central to how this casserole works. It provides a wide area for preparations that need room across the cooking surface, while the curved sides support the stirring and sautéing movements involved in cooking. The 28 cm diameter and 3.2 L capacity describe a piece designed around that balance of cooking area and volume.
The ceramic nonstick coating is designed to help food release from the surface and make cleaning easier after use. A glass lid is included, allowing you to keep an eye on cooking without repeatedly lifting the lid. Together, the low shape, nonstick interior and clear lid support the practical steps of preparing, monitoring and finishing a dish.
This casserole is compatible with gas, electric, ceramic and induction cooktops. It can also be used on a grill and in the oven, so its use is not limited to stovetop cooking. For oven cooking, the maximum temperature is 280°C.
The ceramic nonstick coating is free from PFOA, PFAS and PTFE. It is intended to aid food release and simplify cleaning, while appropriate heating and care help preserve its performance over time.
To preheat the pan, use low or medium heat with a small amount of oil or fat. Avoid leaving the empty pan heating for extended periods. This preheating guidance is part of caring for the coated cooking surface, rather than a reason to begin cooking with prolonged empty heating.
Keep the two temperature guidelines distinct when planning a recipe: low or medium heat is recommended for preheating on the cooktop, while 280°C is the stated maximum for oven use.
The casserole is dishwasher-safe, although washing by hand helps preserve the coating for longer. For handwashing, use warm water, mild dish soap and a non-abrasive sponge. This gives you a cleaning method suited to the ceramic nonstick interior without relying on abrasive contact.
Allow the pan to cool before washing and avoid thermal shock. Let cooling be a separate step between cooking and cleaning, rather than washing the piece while it is still hot.
Do not use blades on the interior surface, and avoid striking or knocking it. Care during both cooking and washing matters: gentle preheating, cooling before cleaning and non-abrasive washing are the recommended practices for helping maintain the coating over time.
