Description

The Le Creuset Heritage Oval Au Gratin Dish in Cerise is the stoneware baker for dishes that are as beautiful on the table as they are in the oven. Its dense, high-fired stoneware preserves even temperatures, prevents scorching, and blocks moisture absorption that can cause cracking and crazing over time. Use it for classic potato gratins, baked macaroni, roasted vegetables, or a bubbling fruit crisp—then bring it to the table straight from the oven. This dish is best for home cooks who want one versatile piece to handle freezer-to-oven recipes and everyday entertaining.

Le Creuset Heritage Oval Au Gratin Dish: Oven-to-Table Versatility

Le Creuset stoneware is renowned for its durability and thermal performance. The oval shape gives you more surface area for even browning, and the glazed interior releases food easily. It's safe for the freezer, microwave, oven, broiler, and dishwasher, making it a go-to for busy weeknight cooking and special occasions alike.

What to Cook in an Oval Au Gratin Dish

This dish is made for layered, saucy, and cheesy recipes. Try a classic potato au gratin with creamy garlic sauce, or use it for baked ziti, lasagna, scalloped potatoes, roasted vegetables, and baked eggs. The high, nearly nonstick glaze also makes it perfect for fruit crisps and cobblers—just sprinkle on the topping and bake.

Thermal Resistance and Easy Cleanup

Unlike many ceramic dishes, Le Creuset stoneware blocks moisture absorption, so you won't see the tiny cracks (crazing) that can develop with lower-quality bakeware. The glazed surface cleans up with minimal effort, and the Cerise finish adds a classic, vibrant splash of color to your kitchen and table.

Product Details

Why Stoneware for Gratins?

Stoneware's natural density helps it hold heat steadily and release it slowly, which means your gratin stays hot at the table longer. Unlike thin metal pans, it won't produce hot spots that burn the edges before the middle is cooked. The heavy base also gives you that restaurant-quality sizzle when you take it out of the oven.

Your Go-To Dish for Family-Sized Sides

The oval's generous surface can double as a small casserole dish. Make a batch of lasagna, a shepherd's pie, or baked pasta for a crowd. The easy-clean glaze means you can serve directly from the dish and toss it in the dishwasher afterward.

Practical Design, Timeless Style

The Heritage shape nods to Le Creuset's classic French roots, with gently flared sides and a smooth rim that makes it simple to lift. The Cerise glaze doesn't just look good—it resists staining and chipping. For decades of reliable baking and serving, this is the piece you'll reach for on any cozy night in.

Frequently Asked Questions

What recipes can I make in Le Creuset au gratin dish?

Potato gratins, mac and cheese, baked ziti, roasted vegetables, eggplant parmesan, fruit crisps, cobblers, and baked eggs are all excellent choices. The oval shape is especially good for even browning of layered dishes.

Can this dish go from the freezer to the oven?

Yes, it's freezer safe, but the best practice is to place it in a cold oven and heat gradually. Avoid moving the dish directly from freezer to a preheated oven, as extreme temperature swings can damage any stoneware.

Is the au gratin dish safe to broil?

Yes, it is broiler safe, but keep it at least an inch away from the heating element to allow even browning.

Does it come with a lid?

No, this Heritage Oval Au Gratin Dish is an open dish designed for uncovered baking, so you get that golden, bubbly finish.

What is the Cerise color?

Cerise is Le Creuset's vibrant cherry red—a deep, glossy shade that looks beautiful from oven to table.
