Le Creuset 71005340129002 Heritage 2.5 Qt. Square Casserole in Nuit

The Le Creuset 71005340129002 Heritage 2.5 qt Square Casserole is a covered stoneware baking dish with even heat distribution, superior heat retention, a moisture-locking lid and a virtually non-stick glazed interior. Its nonporous, non-reactive, scratch-resistant finish resists stains and flavor absorption, while a -9 to 500 degrees F temperature range and freezer, oven, microwave, broiler and dishwasher compatibility support preparation, baking, reheating, serving and cleanup. The Nuit casserole includes scalloped handles inspired by early Le Creuset designs.

Use the two-piece dish and lid for brownies, cinnamon rolls, breakfast casseroles, stuffed peppers, cobbler or macaroni and cheese, then carry it to the table, a potluck or a picnic and cover leftovers for storage.

Footnotes:

• Do not use this stoneware casserole on a stovetop or any other direct heat source.
• The maximum oven-safe temperature is 500 degrees F. Always use oven mitts, and keep at least 2 1/2 in between the dish rim and the heat source when broiling.
• Do not place a frozen dish of food in a preheated oven. Put it in a cold oven and allow the dish and oven to heat together. Bring refrigerated prepared food to room temperature before reheating.
• Handles may become hot during prolonged microwave use, especially when plastic wrap is used. Cover only the open top and leave the handles exposed.
• Allow a hot dish to cool before washing. Do not plunge hot stoneware into cool water or leave it fully immersed.
• The casserole is dishwasher-safe, but hand washing is recommended. Metal utensils may leave deposits on the glazed surface.
• Stoneware pieces are hand-crafted and may show slight variations from piece to piece.
