This Le Creuset cassoulet dish is named after the traditional French cooking vessel, the cassole, a deep pot with tapered sides to allow more exposure on the surface. Durable vitreous, porcelain enameled cast iron distributes heat to bake evenly without hot spots, allowing excellent dispersion of flavors. The layering of white beans with virtually any variety of meats creates a savory, well-received meal. With sausage, chicken, lamb or pork shoulder and any assortment of herbs, spices or ingredients, such as tomatoes, onions or bacon, this dish creates a rich and delicious all-in-one meal. Ideal design to bake shepherd's pie or pot pie. A breadcrumb topping crisps beautifully to meld the flavors of your slow-cooked entree. The cassoulet dish attractively goes from oven or stove top to table, then stores in the refrigerator.

The mainstay of French chefs for nearly a century, Le Creuset cookware features bold and bright colors in a variety of shapes and sizes to suit any culinary need and home decor. Each enameled cast iron cookware piece is skillfully finished by hand. Made in France. Dishwasher-safe, but hand washing recommended. Lifetime warranty.
