The original color in a compact size.\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Signature Round Casserole 22 cm in Cerise\u003c\/strong\u003e is Le Creuset's classic round cast iron pot with a volume of approximately 3.3 liters, featuring a light-colored enamel interior, suitable for all hob types including induction. Not lightweight, not microwave-safe, not a pot for high heat and quick searing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Signature Round Casserole 22 cm in Cerise\u003c\/strong\u003e measures 22 centimeters in diameter and holds approximately 3.3 liters — the compact size for small households. On the outside, it features the Cerise colored enamel, and on the inside, the light-colored glaze, with a heat-resistant knob on the lid. From searing to simmering to serving, everything stays in this one pot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCast Iron Improves with Time\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCast iron absorbs heat slowly, distributes it evenly from the base to the walls, and retains it there. This is precisely the difference compared to lightweight cookware: once heated, the casserole continues to cook at a low to medium heat — it needs no more, and no more should be given, as gentle heat preserves the material.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis saves energy and changes the way you cook. A braised dish simmers evenly on a low flame, with nothing burning at a hot spot. And when the casserole comes to the table, its contents stay hot for a long time — the pot doubles as a serving dish. It works on all hob types from gas to ceramic to induction, is oven-safe, and even freezer-safe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSearing also works well with the enamel: sear meat at medium heat, deglaze the fond with wine or stock, put the lid on — the rest is patience. Because the pot retains heat so evenly, it tolerates long cooking times without anything sticking to the bottom.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Enamel and its Rules\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eInside, the casserole features Le Creuset's light-colored enamel. Its smooth surface is easy to clean and shows how far along the fond is when searing — something not visible on dark surfaces. The lid seals tightly, retaining moisture in the pot; its knob is heat-resistant up to 250 °C, but gets hot in the oven and requires a pot holder.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTwo things to know. Cast iron is not suitable for microwaves — metal should not go in there. And those expecting feather-light cookware will not be happy with a cast iron casserole: the weight is part of its function, as mass is what stores heat. While the casserole is dishwasher-safe, hand washing is recommended — it preserves the patina that develops over the years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!--nl--\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eShould anything stick, warm water with a little dish soap will help after soaking — abrasive cleaners and steel wool have no place on enamel. Maintained this way, the surface will last decades of daily use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSince 1925, Cast in One Piece\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn 1925, foundry technician Armand Desaegher and enameling specialist Octave Aubecq teamed up to produce cast iron casseroles with colored enamel — the birth of Le Creuset. The round cocotte was one of the first products and remains the heart of the brand to this day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEvery casserole is still manufactured using the sand casting method, where each mold is used only once — no two pots are identical down to the gram. This is followed by several layers of enamel, which give the cast iron its color and the interior its smooth surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eLe Creuset offers a 30-year warranty on its casseroles. This is not a marketing number, but a statement about longevity: a Signature casserole is more likely to be inherited than replaced.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCerise: the Color of 1925\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCerise has been Le Creuset's signature color since 1925 — the color gradient is reminiscent of glowing iron in the crucible, to which the brand owes its name. At 22 cm and 3.3 liters, this casserole is the compact choice for small households that still want the original in the original color.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eSome pots you buy for a recipe.
