The Le Creuset Enameled Cast Iron Signature Oval Baker in 1 qt. (9.5") and Marseille is the baker you will reach for whenever a recipe calls for a crisp topping. Its wide, oval shape creates more surface area for heat exposure, which means potatoes au gratin develop a golden crust while the center stays creamy. It also earns its keep as a small roaster: the cast iron holds steady heat for chicken, pork loin, or a small beef roast.
The 1 quart size fits neatly into a kitchen that cooks for two to four people. Because the dish is sturdy enameled cast iron, you can take it from the refrigerator directly into a cold oven without worry, and it performs on every cooking surface—gas, electric, ceramic, halogen, induction, and outdoor grill. The sand-colored interior enamel lets you keep an eye on browning, and the colorful exterior brings the iconic Le Creuset style to the table.
The durable exterior enamel resists chipping and cracking, the interior enamel cleans easily, and the piece is dishwasher-safe. At Perfect Pan Shop, we stock a full range of Le Creuset oval bakers, so you can choose the exact size for your kitchen.

Le Creuset’s Signature Oval Baker is as pretty as it is practical. The oval silhouette gives you a wide surface for browning while keeping a deep enough well for bubbling sauces and juices. The vivid Marseille color adds a coastal-inspired pop to your dinnerware.
If you often cook for two or want a quick vegetable side dish, the 1 qt is a smart choice. For family-sized gratins and roasts, browse our larger Le Creuset oval bakers at Perfect Pan Shop. The 9.5-inch length also fits neatly on non-standard oven racks.
Because cast iron heats evenly and holds temperature, delicate dishes like caramelized onion tart or individual lasagna bake uniformly. The enamel interior is non-reactive too, so tomato-based sauces and citrus won’t affect flavor.

Yes, it is dishwasher safe, although hand washing with warm soapy water will help the enamel retain its shine longest.
Great for small casseroles.
This baker is the right size for two. It goes from oven to table beautifully. Easy to wash.
I've owned Le Creuset pieces for years and this oval baker is yet another winner. The enamel cast iron distributes heat evenly and cleans easily. The 1-quart size is ideal for a side dish or small roast. The Marseille blue is gorgeous—I get compliments when I bring it to the table. The lid is heavy but seals well. I wish it were bigger, but I have other sizes. It's a bit pricey, but worth the investment.
I use it for mac and cheese for two. The color is vibrant. It's a good buy.
This baker exceeded my expectations. The enamel inside is smooth and nonstick. I've baked a small chicken in it, and it cooked perfectly. The outside resisted staining from tomato sauce. It's easy to hand wash. The lid has a nice weight. My only nitpick is that it's small, but that's what I wanted. Perfect for my apartment.
Lovely piece.
Good quality, but the size is quite small. Be careful if you're feeding more than two. Otherwise, nice.
I'm a bachelor and this is my go-to for single servings. It's the right size for a personal lasagna. The heat retention is amazing—it stays warm at the table. The glaze is easy to wipe. I've used it in the oven and under the broiler. No issues. Highly recommend if you cook for one.
