The guest size without a play of colors.\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Signature Round Casserole 26 cm in black\u003c\/strong\u003e is Le Creuset's classic round cast iron pot with a capacity of around 5.3 liters, light enamel interior, 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 black\u003c\/strong\u003e measures 26 centimeters in diameter and holds around 5.3 liters — the size for medium portions and guests. On the outside, it features black enamel, on the inside, a light glaze, 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 you 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 will cook evenly on a low flame, nothing burning on 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 in the enamel: sear meat over medium heat, deglaze the fond with wine or stock, put on the lid — the rest is patience. Because the pot maintains 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 has Le Creuset's light enamel. Its smooth surface is easy to clean and shows how far the fond has developed when searing — something you wouldn't see on a dark surface. 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 an oven mitt.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThere are two things to know. Cast iron is not suitable for the microwave — metal does not 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, because mass is the heat reservoir. While the casserole is dishwasher safe, handwashing is still recommended — it preserves the patina that forms over the years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eShould something bake on, soak with warm water and a little washing-up liquid — scourers and steel wool have no place on enamel. Cared for in this way, the surface will withstand decades of daily use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSince 1925 from one pour\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn 1925, foundry technician Armand Desaegher and enamel specialist Octave Aubecq joined forces 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 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 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\u003eBlack, when the food needs the stage\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn black, the casserole recedes and lets the dish take center stage — a ratatouille, a light fish, or a risotto shines on a dark background. At 26 cm and 5.3 liters, it's the pot for the medium-sized gathering, grown for anyone for whom the 24 cm was too small once too often.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eSome pots you buy for one 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":56363677548870,"sku":"074LEC078","price":299.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0998\/4960\/1350\/files\/le-creuset-sale-braeter-schwarz_15325eab-e257-46d6-b50f-3de5b096680c.jpg?v=1776143729","url":"https:\/\/ginusslande.com\/en\/products\/le-creuset-braeter-signature-26cm-schwarz","provider":"genussland","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
