This oval baking pan from Le Creuset showcases a creamy blush-purple enamel inspired by shallots. The cast iron baker has a shallow, low-profile design that allows heat to circulate around foods for optimal browning and crisping, while the oval shape accommodates a chicken, side of salmon or pork roast. The dish's enameled surface minimizes sticking and staining and requires no pre-seasoning. Going from stovetop to oven to table, the baker serves entrees, sides or desserts with a fresh look then cleans up easily in the dishwasher.Revered by both professional chefs and home cooks since its 1925 debut, Le Creuset's classic French cookware is prized for its utilitarian beauty and unsurpassed heat retention.Cast iron with enamel finish.
