The Le Creuset Signature Rectangular Roaster, 5.25 Qt. is the enameled cast iron pan for roasting, baking, and serving: a lasagna, a pan of roasted vegetables, a small roast chicken, or a fruit crisp.
Cast iron holds and spreads heat evenly, so vegetables caramelize at the edges and casseroles bake through without hot spots. The 13-by-9.8-inch interior fits a standard casserole recipe, and the enamel will not react with tomato sauce or citrus. Wide loop handles give you a secure grip even in thick oven mitts. Because it can go on the stovetop, you can deglaze the pan right on the burner to make gravy after roasting.
Available colors: Cerise, Marseille, White and Oyster. Choose your color from the options on this page; every color shares the same size, construction, and performance.

It is a heavier, more even-heating upgrade over a glass or ceramic baking dish. For a large turkey, choose a deeper stainless roaster with a rack.
Because the enamel is fused to the cast iron, it needs no seasoning and will not react with acidic ingredients like tomatoes, wine, or citrus. Le Creuset cast iron is also the lightest per quart in the industry, which you will notice every time you lift a full pot.
