The Le Creuset Stoneware Heritage Rectangular Covered Casserole is a cornerstone of everyday baking and serving. Crafted from premium stoneware, this 4-quart covered dish provides exceptional heat retention and even browning, while the vibrant Olive glaze brings a kitchen-ready palette to your table.
Le Creuset Stoneware Heritage Rectangular Casserole: 4 Quarts of Flexibility
Use it for weeknight lasagna, roasted vegetables, braised chicken, or a generous dessert. The tight-fitting lid traps moisture for slow, tender cooking, and the shallow shape promotes even browning. It also acts as a marinating tray or refrigerator dish thanks to its nonporous finish.
Dimensions and Capacity
The casserole's exterior measures 12" x 9" (30 x 23 cm) with a comfortable depth of about 4 inches. The interior is approximately 11" x 8" (28 x 20 cm) – large enough to feed a family of 4-6. This is the perfect size for most standard ovens and is also practical for packed refrigerator space.
Why Choose This Product?
Even cooking without hot spots: Stoneware distributes heat smoothly from bottom to sides.
Superior heat retention: Keeps food warm at the table or out on a buffet.
Temperature extremes: Safe from -9°F to 500°F, ideal for freezer-to-oven recipes.

Product Details
From Freezer to Oven to Table
This Heritage casserole is a true multitasker: marinate overnight, bake at a high temperature, then carry the whole dish to the dinner table. The stoneware’s heat retention is exceptional—food stays hot for up to 20 minutes after you pull it from the oven.
A Stoneware Choice for a Modern Kitchen
Le Creuset stoneware is made from premium clays fired at a high temperature, which results in a dense body that doesn't crack or craze. The glaze is a Le Creuset proprietary formula, designed to be extra hard and durable while resisting knife scars and fork scrapes.
Sizing Your Casserole
The 4-quart rectangular shape is a favorite because it fits neatly in most ovens and fridges. The lid adds height, but the generous interior allows for deep layers or a full tray of brownies. If you need a smaller or larger casserole, Le Creuset offers a range of Heritage sizes.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are the exact dimensions of the Le Creuset 4-qt rectangular casserole?
The exterior is 12 x 9 x 4 inches (30 x 23 x 10 cm). The interior measures about 11 x 8 x 2.5 inches (28 x 20 x 6 cm), giving you 4 quarts of capacity.
Can I put the covered casserole in the oven at 500°F?
Yes, the stoneware is safe up to 500°F, but place it in a cold oven and preheat to avoid thermal shock. Also do not place a frozen casserole directly into a hot oven.
Is the Olive glaze truly safe for acidic foods?
Yes, the nonporous glaze is nonreactive, so tomato sauces and citrus won't dull or damage the finish.
Does the lid fit securely for carrying or food storage?
The knobbed lid nests into the base, making it leak-proof enough for the fridge or covered carrying. It's not designed to be airtight, so it's best to use the casserole as one covered unit.

Beautiful casserole dish
The olive color is just lovely. It cooks evenly and cleans up easily. I've made many roasts in it.

Great for family meals
We use this casserole at least twice a week. It goes from oven to table without any issue. The 4-quart size is perfect for lasagna or a roast chicken. The glaze really is nonstick—baked-on cheese comes off with a soak. It's a sturdy, well-made piece that will last.

Pretty but heavy
This dish is gorgeous, but it's massive and heavy when full. It takes up a lot of space in my cabinets. However, it does cook beautifully and the food doesn't stick. I'd recommend it if you have the storage.

Nice, but the lid doesn't fit perfectly
The dish itself is fine, but my lid wobbles slightly. It's not a big deal, but for this price I expected a perfect fit. Also the color is a bit darker than the pictures. Still, it's a good casserole dish.

Exceptional quality
I have several Le Creuset pieces, and this one is up to the usual standard. The stoneware heats evenly and retains temperature well. The olive color is understated and elegant. My recipes come out perfectly, and clean-up is effortless. I expect this to be handed down to my granddaughter. Highly recommended.
