Le Creuset Stoneware

Few brands have the name recognition of Le Creuset, and that’s for good reason. We’ve already written about their stellar enameled cast iron; now we want to rhapsodize about their stoneware baking dishes. Their performance is as beautiful as their appearance. They go safely from freezer to oven to table. And, they come in all sorts of shapes, for everything from casseroles, gratins, and breads to pies and tarts. The nonporous and non-reactive enamel glaze resists staining and absorbing flavors, and is easy to clean. The stoneware collection comes with a 10-year warranty, but these kitchen heirlooms often last much longer.
