Rachael Ray 5-1/4-Quart Cast-Iron Covered Oval Casserole, Orange 50940

Warm the body and soul on a cold winter's night with a home-cooked meal of spicy chili or comforting baked macaroni and cheese. To prepare either dish, Rachael Ray offers this covered 5-1/4-quart casserole. The casserole's oval form fits neatly on stovetops, while the construction adapts for oven use. Crafted in cast iron, the casserole resists warping and breakage, while it deftly retains and distributes heat. The porcelain-enameled coating eliminates the need for pre-seasoning along the casserole's interior, which most cast-iron cookware requires. To transport contents to and fro, the casserole proffers two loop handles on the short sides of its oval form. The fitted cast-iron lid contains flavor and heat for more efficient and tasty cooking. A top-mounted knob aids in easy lid removal. For the best care, allow the casserole to cool before washing it by hand. Avoid abrasive scrubbing pads and harsh cleansers to preserve the casserole's enamel. Dry immediately to prevent corrosion. A limited lifetime warranty covers the China-made casserole. The casserole measures 17-1/3 by 10-3/4 by 6-2/3 inches
