I absolutely love Le Creuset and was excited to add this dish to my collection. The color is an absolutely beautiful deep green, and the built in tray in the lid is a smart and handy feature, especially for cookouts. This dish is compact enough to travel very well, but deep enough to bake a large casserole in. I enjoy using it so much, and love how easily it fits in different part of the fridge for leftover storage. Go buy this, now! You won’t regret it one bit.
