I always thought round casserole dishes were the best, but my oval Le Creuset has proven me wrong

Le Creuset Cast Iron Oval Casserole Dish heating on the hob.

Nine years ago, I bought myself a Le Creuset Casserole Dish. I found it in TK Maxx — I wasn’t ready to face up to the full retail price yet — and took it with me through three different kitchens. That cassrole dish was round and it's served me well, but I've been seeing a lot of chatter about how useful an oval shape is. So, given that it's been nearly a decade. I thought it was time to trial one out and add to my cookware collection.

If you follow any foodies or you cook regularly in a round cast iron pot, you'll have seen that oval casserole dishes can fit longer cuts of meat and fish, a couple of chickens, and plenty of other dishes that a round casserole couldn't. So, disguised as "work" I've indulged and invested in a Le Creuset Oval Casserole Dish.
