The red everyday classic.\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Signature Round Casserole 24 cm in Cerise\u003c\/strong\u003e is Le Creuset's classic round cast iron pot with a volume of approximately 4.2 liters, with a light-colored enamel interior, suitable for all hob types including induction. Not lightweight, not microwave-safe, not a pot for high heat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Signature Round Casserole 24 cm in Cerise\u003c\/strong\u003e measures 24 centimeters in diameter and holds approximately 4.2 liters — the medium size for a small household. It features a cerise colored enamel exterior and a light-colored interior glaze, with a heat-resistant knob on the lid. From searing to slow cooking to serving, everything stays in this one pot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCast iron improves with age\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCast iron absorbs heat slowly, distributes it evenly from the base to the walls, and retains it. This is precisely what differentiates it from lightweight cookware: once heated, the casserole continues to cook at low to medium heat — it doesn't need more, and you shouldn't give it more, as gentle heat preserves the material.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis saves energy and changes the way you cook. A stew will cook evenly on a low flame, with nothing burning in 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, and can go in the oven and even the freezer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSearing also works well in the enamel: sear meat over medium heat, deglaze the pan with wine or stock, put the lid on — the rest is patience. Because the pot retains heat so evenly, it forgives 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 the fond has developed during searing — something you wouldn't see on a dark surface. The lid seals tightly, keeping moisture in the pot; its knob is heat-resistant up to 250 °C, but it will get hot in the oven and should be handled with an oven mitt.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTwo things you should know. Cast iron is not suitable for the microwave — metal doesn't belong in there. And if you expect feather-light cookware, you won't be happy with a cast iron casserole: the weight is part of its function, as the mass stores heat. While the casserole is dishwasher safe, handwashing is still recommended — it preserves the patina that develops over the years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eShould something stick, soak it in warm water with a little dish soap — abrasive cleaners and steel wool have no place on enamel. With this care, the surface will last decades of daily use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCast in one piece since 1925\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c!--nl\"\u003e\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\u003eTo this day, each casserole is made using a sand casting process, 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 the casserole. This isn't a marketing number, but a statement about its lifespan: a Signature casserole is more likely to be inherited than replaced.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCerise in the everyday size\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe 24 cm size is the most commonly used middle ground: large enough for a roasted chicken or a stew for three, small enough for daily hob use. In Cerise, it becomes a splash of color that moves directly from the hob to the table — and stays there until the pot is empty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eSome pots you buy for a recipe. This one you buy for the next thirty years.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Le Creuset","offers":[{"title":"1 piece","offer_id":56363687543110,"sku":"074LEC011","price":275.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0998\/4960\/1350\/files\/le-creuset-braeter-24-kirschrot_6f7efc91-2f6a-4f99-9caa-4483b3d61ee3.jpg?v=1776143961","url":"https:\/\/ginusslande.com\/en\/products\/le-creuset-braeter-signature-24cm-kirschrot","provider":"genussland","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
