When I was a child, my mum had a set of Le Creuset pans - big heavy cast iron pans with wooden handles, I loved the chunky feel of them when cooking.My mum however developed Tenosinovitis, a problem with her wrists and could no longer hold the pans - they went to the carboot, to be replaced by lightweigh stainless steel pans. But I always vowed that one day, when I had my own house, I would own some Le Creuset cookware - and now I own this wonderful dish.I'm pretty sure some of you are spitting your tea all over your keyboard at this moment - no doubt that seems an awful lot of money for a casserole dish when you can get a perfectly good pyrex one for a fiver. But, you can't put a price on love !The dish,as you can see, is an attractive heart shaped dish with a matching lid, and two little wing handles, one on either side . It is made of cast iron, with an enamal lining . The dish is very heavy, weighing in at 3.2kg, so is certainly not suitable for those who are unable to carry heavier weights , especially as it is of course heavier when filled .This dish is a little beauty - not only can I use it in the oven to make casseroles and stews, but it is also perfectly suited for using on my hob . My hob is electric, but don't worry - it can be used on gas hobs, agas, ceramic hobs, and induction hobs too . It can also be used under the grill .Because of the plastic handle, it can't be used in the oven above 190 degrees celsius. This isn't really a problem, as most casseroles and stews require a longer cook at a lower heat. It is also worth bearing in mind that the casserole dish retains heat very well, which keeps food hot in the oven even after the oven has been turned off for quite some time . Do remember to use oven gloves when taking the lid off too - this dish will not cool down as quickly as glassware will. I would also recommend using a trivet if carrying this dish out to table to serve food, as it is very heavy and will mark surfaces . And lets face it, a pretty dish like this demands to be used as a serving dish.Naturally, the enamal coating is not non stick, so if using this dish on the hob for frying etc, you will need to use oil . When cleaning, you shuld treat this in the same way you would a non-stick pan however, and avoid harsh scrubbing brushed that might scratch the enamal lining. I should also point out that electric hand mixers and beaters should not be used in this dish as they may also damage the lining, and that wooden, silicone, and plastic tools are recommended by the manufacturer as metal utensils can again cause damage to the lining .This is fully dishwasher proof apparently, although I don't own a dishwasher so can't comment on how well they wash using this method - I do however find that after a good soak even the most stubborn stains come off easily leaving the pan good as new .I love this dish. It claims to serve 2-3 people, but I would actually say you could get a reasonable stew and dumplings for four done in this dish with no problems . Yes, it is heavy to carry, especially when full, which may well put some people off, but I find something comforting in the solidity of this cookware. I think the dish itself is attractive, perfect for taking from oven to table, and very smart and classy - much nicer than any of my other cookware .I really like the fact that this works on all kinds of hobs and ovens - I plan on changing my electric cooker for a gas one in a few months, and it is good to know I will not need to replace this item as I will have to do with some other pans. The best bit of all for me though, is that should I somehow manage to break this item (lord knows how, it seems to be indestructable) then it is guaranteed . Not just for a few months or a few years, but for MY lifetime . Thats right- they offer a real lifetime guarantee - for as long as I live, they will replace this dish if something goes wrong with it!I love this dish loads . I love the whole Le Creuset range in general - in fact, I'm currently saving up for my next pan!5 stars!

Stunning, this CAST IRON casserole Dish from LE CREUSET in 'CERISE' (Graded shades of red, generally darker at the edges), beautifully offset by the BLACK phenolic KNOB.Approximate maximum capacity : 1.9LSturdily boxed, complete with CAST IRON care/use instructions.This lidded dish looks extra special as a centre-piece on a crisp white tablecloth along with a bottle of Lanson 'Black Label', on ice.......and a single red rose......on those extra special occasions!Sue Lawrence has an excellent recipe for this very 'dish' in her book,

Bought for Valentines dinner with two smaller same design stoneware dishes. Not just for Valentines though and nice enough to display. This casserole is a suitable size for two people, seems right as it is a heart and implies a couple using it. This heart is big enough for three at a push though if that is your chosen life style!There appears to be reviews for two different products on this page. This page is for the 1.9l cast iron casserole but some people have put their reviews of the smaller 0.3l stoneware version on this page.

Expensive (even with 40% off) but such a treat! I bought it to prepare side dishes for one or two people, since I only had one other large le creuset duch oven (26 cm).I tried the heart one for rice and boiled herbed patatoes, and added one spoon of butter so that content doesn't stick to the bottom. Tasted deliciously and both rice and patatoes absorbed the moist very well.It is indeed small, but suitable for what I needed it to be.Absolutely recommendable product.

What an original and useful valentines present.Firstly the quality as always with Le Creuset is excellent.The pot is a gorgeous red and looks fantastic on the side.You can of course use this as a normal stockpot but you can make heart shaped bread and cakes in this.A novel present and a great idea with my only slight concern being it is very heavy.Recommended.

It is small and it is a strange shape to cook with, but you can rely on Le Creuset to be perfect, so the shape is not difficult to work with or stir contents. There is only two of us and this is a perfect size for a small casserole, but you can use it for anything. Look after it and it will last a lifetime and it makes the most perfect wedding present.

Tried to cancel this order but was not in time....however when it arrived I loved it and decided to keep it regardless of price! It is a gorgeous red, looks great in my kitchen and I plan to use it to make fondue over Christmas but it will have many uses other than casseroles!

Although not huge this casserole dish is suitable for two people. It looks fabulous and the recipient loved it. I would recommend this for anyone who is romantic; I wanted to keep it and have decided to save up to buy a larger Le Creuset casserole for myself.

The only comment would be the wrong category stated by amazon.uk.co. This is fully an enamelled cast iron heart shaped cocotte. Have no idea why even lecreuset.fr stated this as stoneware. And it’s cheaper even after delivery in Singapore.

It's smaller than I thought it would be but you can check the measurements for yourself. Good for two-three people and it looks great. Le Creuset is the way forward and I just know it will last forever!

I brought this for my daughter who loves things that are a little different. I thought a heart shape said it all. Both practical and a little different when put on the table.

Brilliant Creuset - such a super design and good size for two people! Our last Creuset lasted 15 years so it works out good value pan! As you can see my husband loves it! ?
