Amazon.com ReviewWarm the body and soul on a cold winter's night with a home-cooked meal of spicy chili or comforting baked macaroni and cheese. To prepare either dish, Rachael Ray offers this covered 5-1/4-quart casserole. The casserole's oval form fits neatly on stovetops, while the construction adapts for oven use. Crafted in cast iron, the casserole resists warping and breakage, while it deftly retains and distributes heat. The porcelain-enameled coating eliminates the need for pre-seasoning along the casserole's interior, which most cast-iron cookware requires. To transport contents to and fro, the casserole proffers two loop handles on the short sides of its oval form. The fitted cast-iron lid contains flavor and heat for more efficient and tasty cooking. A top-mounted knob aids in easy lid removal. For the best care, allow the casserole to cool before washing it by hand. Avoid abrasive scrubbing pads and harsh cleansers to preserve the casserole's enamel. Dry immediately to prevent corrosion. A limited lifetime warranty covers the China-made casserole. The casserole measures 17-1/3 by 10-3/4 by 6-2/3 inches and weighs 16-1/5 pounds upon shipping. --Jessica Reuling
What Others Say
Nice looking but...
A nice style and colorful addition to the kitchen but if I would have know that the handles on the lids were not oven safe over 350 degrees I probably would not have purchased the item.I also purchased the smaller cast iron 3.5 qt pot.
Awesome!
I recently purchased this cast iron casserole and absolutely love it! It washes up nicely without soap, as the manufacturer recommends. I make one pot dinners in it, and there is no burning or scorching. The handles are a good size to grip easily, and the knob on the lid is easy to grip also especially with arthritic hands! I plan to purchase one for my daughter because she also thought this is awesome cookware.
Some quality problems are emerging.
These "made in China" casseroles are pretty, and similar to Le Creuset or Mario Batali's casseroles in appearance, enamel over cast iron, however people are noticing the enamel does not stand up well to heat, and it cracks. (See reviews on "Rachael Ray 3-1/2-Quart Cast-Iron Covered Round Casserole, Blue", and talk with people who handle returns at your dept. store.)
Additionally, the casserole has a cheap phenolic (plastic) handle on the top cover, which the manual says are "oven safe" ONLY up to 350 F temperature. This makes no sense, when recipes may call for 350-400 degree temperatures! A 350 degree handle is just as hot to the touch, be it made of cheap plastic or cast iron. Cast iron can take the heat to 500 degrees, ... Read More
