Rachael Ray 12-Ounce Cast-Iron Covered Oval Casseroles, Set of 2, Blue

The casseroles feature durable cast-iron construction. The attributes of cast-iron construction include unmatched durability against warping and breakage, superb heat retention, and even heat distribution. Porcelain enamel coats the cast-iron casseroles to eliminate the need for pre-seasoning on the interiors, which other cast-iron cookware requires. This construction also allows the casseroles to adapt for stovetop-to-oven-to-table use. To transport contents to and fro, each casserole is cast with two loop-style handles. Fitted cast-iron lids contain flavor and heat within the casseroles. Each lid provides a top-mounted knob for easy removal. For the best care, allow casseroles to cool before washing by hand. Avoid abrasive scrubbing pads and harsh cleansers to preserve the enamel. Dry immediately to prevent corrosion. A limited lifetime warranty covers the China-made casseroles. Upon shipping, the casserole set measures 9-1/3 by 7-9/10 by 7-4/5 inches and weighs 9-1/2 pounds. --Jessica Reuling
