Red, with room for guests.\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Signature Round Casserole 26 cm in Cherry Red\u003c\/strong\u003e is Le Creuset's classic round cast iron casserole with a capacity of approx. 5.3 liters, enameled light on the inside, for all hob types including induction. Not lightweight, not microwave-safe, not a pot for a quick hot flame.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Signature Round Casserole 26 cm in Cherry Red\u003c\/strong\u003e measures 26 centimeters in diameter and holds approx. 5.3 liters — the size for medium portions and guests. On the outside, it features cherry red enamel, with a light glaze on the inside, and 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 works 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 to lightweight cookware: once heated, the casserole continues to cook at low to medium heat — it doesn't need more, and one shouldn't give it more, because gentle heat preserves the material.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis saves energy and changes the way you cook. A braised dish cooks evenly on a low flame, nothing burns at a hot spot. And when the casserole comes to the table, its contents stay hot for a long time — the pot is also the serving dish. It works on all hob types from gas to ceramic to induction, can go in the oven and even in the freezer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSearing also works well in the enamel: sear meat vigorously 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 enamel. Its smooth surface is easy to clean and shows how far the fond has developed during searing — something not visible on a dark background. The lid seals tightly and keeps moisture in the pot; its knob is heat-resistant up to 250 °C, but gets hot in the oven and should be handled with a glove.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTwo things to 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 is the heat reservoir. The casserole is dishwasher-safe, but handwashing is recommended — it preserves the patina that forms over the years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIf something does stick, soaked warm water with a little dish soap helps — abrasive cleaners and steel wool have no place on enamel. Maintained this way, the surface will withstand decades of daily use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCast in one piece since 1925\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn 1925, foundry technician Armand Desaegher and enamel 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 today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEvery casserole is still produced using the sand casting process, where each mold is used only once — no two pots are identical down to the gram. This is followed by several enamel layers, which give the cast iron its color and the inside its smooth surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eLe Creuset offers a 30-year warranty on the casserole. This is not 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\u003eCherry Red for the Round Table\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAt 26 cm and 5.3 liters, it's guest size: a roast with sides, a stew for four, pasta sauces in large quantities. Cherry Red makes it the pot that draws attention when serving — the color is as much a part of the meal as the aroma that rises when the lid is lifted.\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":56363677679942,"sku":"074LEC076","price":299.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0998\/4960\/1350\/files\/le-creuset-braeter-rund-26_e94bc649-f97f-403b-8c13-62bba749f19a.jpg?v=1776143732","url":"https:\/\/ginusslande.com\/en\/products\/le-creuset-braeter-signature-26cm-kirschrot","provider":"genussland","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
