This is a great little casserole dish. I didn't pay much attention to the dimensions and I expected it to be bigger. My own oversight, but I still love it. Le Creuset quality is hard to beat. Made of stoneware, I got this in the carribean blue and have used it several times for family dinners. Easy to clean and cooks great. The platter makes a great server and I have used it in a pinch for baking biscuits (I'm from the south so we gotta have biscuits!)
