Perfect timing. I used the shallow casserole from Denby for the first time yesterday. I cooked a chicken cobbler firstly on top of the stove and then in the oven for a further two hours. It cooked beautifully, the chicken along with all the vegetables were perfectly cooked as was the potato based dumplings on top. Another major advantage was the ease of cleaning. Hot soapy water did the trick. 10/10 for performance and looks.
