The Le Creuset Enameled Cast Iron Signature Oval Baker, 3 qt., in Olive brings professional-grade heat distribution and effortless entertaining style to everyday cooking. Its shallow profile lets heat circulate around the food for better browning and crisping, while the wider oval shape is perfect for a pork roast, a whole chicken, a side of salmon, or roasted vegetables.
At 3 quarts, the Signature Oval Baker is the ideal middle ground for small-to-medium households. The low dish measures approximately 13.4 x 8.7 x 2.8 inches exterior and offers a roomy 11.8 x 7.1 x 2.3 inch interior—large enough for a family-size casserole or a batch of roasted vegetables, yet compact enough to fit on a shelf. Use it for stovetop-to-oven cooking, or serve directly from it.
The enameled cast iron construction requires no seasoning and delivers excellent heat retention. The smooth light-colored interior enamel lets you see the browning as it happens, and it resists dulling, staining, chipping, and cracking. Ergonomic wide loop handles make lifting easy even when the pan is fully loaded.
Hand washing is recommended to keep the enamel looking new. Avoid sudden temperature changes—never put a hot baker in cold water—and use wooden, silicone, or plastic utensils to protect the surface. This baker is oven safe up to 500°F and works on all stovetops, including induction.

Oval bakers are made for longer cuts of meat—think shoulder roasts, whole chickens, and racks of lamb—and for side dishes that benefit from extra surface area for browning. A round baker is better for soups and braises that require more depth. Le Creuset’s 3 qt oval baker gives you the wide, shallow shape of a traditional roasting dish with the elegance of a serving piece.
Start with a stovetop sear, then slide the baker into the oven to finish. The enameled cast iron holds steady heat from edge to edge, so your casseroles bubble evenly and roasted vegetables caramelize instead of steaming.
The interior measures approximately 11.8 x 7.1 x 2.3 inches, offering a generous 3-quart capacity in a low, wide profile.

Love this baker.
This oval baker is perfect for pot roasts and casseroles. The heat retention is incredible. It goes from oven to table beautifully. The olive color is rich. I've already used it twice this week. Le Creuset quality is unbeatable.
I thought 3 qt would be bigger, but it's perfect for two people. For a large family, you'd need a bigger size. The finish is nice and it cleans up well. I gave 4 stars because the lid is a little heavy.
This baker is elegant and sturdy. I've made many casseroles and it always cooks evenly. The enamel interior doesn't stain easily. It's a joy to use. I've passed down my love of Le Creuset to my grandchildren.
I love the low profile of this baker. It's perfect for bread and roasts. The color is unique and adds character to my kitchen. The enamel is chip-resistant so far. I've used it in the oven and it's held up great.
It cooks beautifully and looks lovely. The only downside is the handles get very hot, so you must use oven mitts. But that's expected with cast iron. I've made several stews and they come out tender. Good purchase.
Bought this as a gift and she uses it constantly. The olive green matches our kitchen. It's heavy-duty and cleans easily. She even bakes bread in it. No complaints except the price, but it's worth it.
I've owned Le Creuset for over 40 years and this is as good as my old pieces. The enamel is flawless. The size is just right for family meals. It's a kitchen workhorse. I highly recommend it to anyone who loves cooking.
