• Thyme Signature 5.3 Litre Round Cast Iron Casserole, 26cm
• Perfect for simmering tender and succulent one-pot casseroles, preparing a risotto or a pot roast, serving a hot soup or a cold gazpacho, boiling pasta or vegetables and stewing fruit
• Even heat distribution as the base, sides and lid are of equal thickness, preventing hotspots or heat loss

• Oversized handles ensure an even weight distribution and give a secure grip
• Base will never warp, maintaining the pot's stability
• Great for keeping food warm while serving at the table, holding foods that are marinating or storing foods (raw or cooked) in the fridge or freezer
• Durable enamel coating is hygienic, doesn't retain odours and is easy to clean
• Colourful, long-lasting exterior enamel resists chipping and cracking

How to cook with your casserole:

• Always use oven gloves when handling anything hot
• Use Le Creuset Silicone Tools, wooden, or heat-resistant plastic utensils — be gentle with metal utensils to avoid damaging the cooking surface
• Match skillet size to hob ring for even cooking, this is extra important for induction hobs
• Cook on medium or low heat, even for frying and searing, let the skillet heat up slowly and lower heat after reaching the desired temperature
• Don't slide the skillet on glass hobs, lift it instead to avoid damage

How to clean your casserole:

• Let your casserole cool before cleaning
• Wipe off any leftover food from the base and sides — for stuck-on food, soak in warm, soapy water for 15 to 20 minutes before regular washing
• Avoid harsh cleaners, metal scrubbers, and stiff brushes
• Dry thoroughly after washing
