Enameled Cast Iron Roaster (2.5-qt.): Fennel Green by Le Creuset

Presenting your favorite roast meats, pastas or desserts has never been simpler with Le Creuset's bakeware. Our Roasters offer unsurpassed cooking performance. One of the most important essentials for good roasting is even heating. With our Roasters, heat is spread gently and evenly providing golden roasted potatoes and a crisp and light pastry every time. The wide, shallow shape of these pieces exposes the maximum surface area of the food to the heat source, whether it be all around heat in the oven or under the broiler. They can also be used on the stovetop for frying. For best results, in cooking roast meats, poultry or poaching fish the dish should be filled almost to the brim, so the top browns and crisps quickly, leaving the food beneath moist. These dishes are ideal for making pasta dishes such as lasagna and baking delicious pies and desserts such as fruit cake and gingerbread. Great for pastry, the cast iron spreads the heat evenly and well with no soggy middles to pies or tarts. Also excellent for marinating - the surface will not spoil or discolor. They make elegant serving dishes, too.
