This casserole is the perfect dish for slow-simmering stews, roasting chicken or braising beef. Enameled cast iron distributes and retains heat, encouraging even browning. The self-basting lid seals in moisture, redistributing juices back into food as it cooks for deliciously tender results. Oven safe to 500° F, with two wide handles for easy transport from the stovetop to the oven or table.
