Le Creuset Signature Oval Casserole, 29 cm, 4.7 L, Deep Teal

This is Le Creuset's Signature oval casserole with lid, in the Deep Teal enamel finish: an enamelled cast iron dish, 29 cm in diameter, listed at 4.7 litres and £219.00, with a lifetime guarantee and the claim that it serves six people. It takes number 3 in this guide, with 4.7 out of 5 from 3,632 ratings.

Most listings in this category fall apart the moment you read two of their fields at once. This one largely holds together. Capacity reads 4.7 litres in the product name, in the contents bullet and in the capacity spec field. Weight reads 4.675 kg in the bullet and 4.68 kg in the spec field — a rounding difference, not a contradiction. The care instructions say dishwasher safe and the dishwasher-safe field says yes, where the Nuovva elsewhere in this guide contradicts itself on that same question. Two figures still do not line up: the bullet and one dimension field give 37 x 23.7 x 16.7 cm, while the field labelled W x H gives 37W x 23.7H — so the height is either 23.7 or 16.7 cm depending on which field you trust. And a reviewer calls it a 27 cm dish when the listing says 29 cm. Everything here comes from the Amazon listing for this product; we have not weighed it, cooked in it or handled it.
