Perfect for longer cuts of meat. Try roasting a chicken with the lid on for a succulent bird that falls off the bone and keeps your oven clean in the process. As versatile as the round casserole, the Oval Cast Iron Casserole is also large enough to roast a whole leg of lamb and narrow enough to leave extra space in the oven for the trimmings. Suitable for use on all stove types, including induction, and in the oven, the casserole makes a perfect serving dish too as cast iron keeps food warmer for longer at the table.
