Oval 2 qt. Roasting Dish in Black Matte

I am a big fan of the crispy parts of food that sticks to the sides of the pan during cooking. This baking dish creates a fabulous ring of crispy goodness all around the edge. My favorite recipe to cook in this are the 5 Spice sweet potatoes from the Staub cookbook. Bakes evenly, stays hot long after it's taken out of the oven and can be used for multiple recipes not just au gratins.

I use this pan for everything. It makes great crispy potatoes but also great for cooking entrees. The cast iron heats so evenly and the matte interior gives me great browning. The enamel coating makes it so easy to clean and maintain.

These are great to have on hand, think more than one, for side dishes. Due to the cast iron's ability to conduct and distribute heat evenly, all of my dishes come out perfectly golden brown and with the extra crispy edges that I love!

My family loves potato gratin and I love using this dish because it is made out of cast iron, so the dish gets hot and stay hot to make the potatoes and cheese super crispy. I also love the handle design on this dish and the fact that it is enameled so that it is naturally non-stick without having to do special cast iron care.

Great size for big side dishes...even decent-sized chicken. Heats up quickly...holds heat and enameled interior makes for easier cleaning than raw cast iron...oven safe over 600 degrees.

I love this oval baking dish. I have made so many dips in it and it turns out so great! I love that I can cook in this dish and then turn around and serve in it.

Love this for so many dishes, although now wish it were a bit larger for family meals! Everything cooks evenly and browns beautifully. Started w/ potatoes and graduated to so many other meals; not simply 1 dish, but combos.

I love love love this pan to use for Potatoes Anna or Scalloped potatoes, in addition to the obvious Potatoes Au Gratin! this dish also works perfect for parmigiana or baked ziti. Perfect size and the lovely handles make serving in the same dish so obviously perfect!

One of the best things about cooking in cast iron is how evenly it heats up. No hot spots means everything bakes to perfection. Use this in place of ceramic or glass baking dishes for everything from potatoes and casseroles to brownies and bread! Cleans up easily because of the matte black coating...this cast iron needs no "seasoning".

This is the perfect serving dish for casseroles, gratin potato's. With it being cast iron, it does a great job heating and browning well.
