My Favorite Pan
THIS IS BY FAR MY FAVORITE KITCHEN PAN.
~It is used for so many meals, from cooking eggs, sauces, roasting pan for meats, cooking down greens, heating tortillas, etc. We use it almost daily, as it seems to be the perfect size for most of our meals.
~I have used it for just over one year and it still look awesome. It cleans super easy.
~It is a bit heavy, so if you have a far amount of weakness in your hands or arms, you may not appreciate it as much.
~Heats excellently on my induction stove top.
~Guests have said they really love the kiwi color.
Great all purpose pan
I purchased this product in Kiwi to complement my 7 qt Dutch Oven pot. I've had it for about two weeks and it has quickly become my everyday, go-to pan. It is wonderful for browning meat and is better than my non-stick skillets for creating sauces with the browned meat bits. It's also wonderful for recipes that say to use an ovenproof skillet. I can fit four regular sized chicken breasts or two large steaks in the pan at one time. If you are weary about the kiwi color, it is definitely more of a lime green than the yellowish-green that online pictures show. It looks great on the stove with my sage-colored kitchen walls.
The Most Used Cooking Vessel in My Kitchen
This was the first Le Creuset item I owned. While my collection has grown to include a french oven, skillet, and grill pan, this buffet casserole remains the most used. It is perfect for one-pot meals (rice pilafs, quinoa and beans, etc), roasted veggies, and any small to mid-sized recipe requiring a transition from stove top to oven (pasta bakes, etc). It also goes from being cookware to a serving dish gorgeously.
Having used this for over 5 years, some careless moments have left a few small patches of discoloration on the cream enamel inside. However, it doesn't impede the cooking process or results at all. I use only silicone and bamboo tools when using my Le Creuset to preserve the integrity of the enamel.
I would highly recommend the buffet casserole to anyone looking to try Le Creuset for the first time. It's a very versatile size, and will give a great introduction to cooking with enameled cast iron.
