This is a beautiful Le Creuset 3-1/2 Qt. #30  (3.2 Liters) White/Cream colored Buffet Casserole or Braiser that is made of cast iron and absolutely stunning-not only to look at but to cook with.   I cannot list this as new, but hate to say it's used because it has very few signs of any usage.  There is a tiny chip on one handle and a few minor abrasions on the inside of the lid that appear more from storage in a cabinet than from using.  Please don't let these deter you from purchasing this gorgeous piece of cookware.  Le Creuset items in the White and Cream colors with the shiny enamel have been discontinued so finding them can be very difficult. 

 This Braiser measures 12"(30 cm) in diameter and with the 2 loop side handles measures a hefty 14-1/2"(36 cm) across.  It measures 2-1/2" (6.5 cm) high without the lid and with the lid in place measures 5" (13 cm) to the top of the black phenolic knob.  This is the older style of Le Creuset with the black cast bottom that many people are so fond of because it doesn't show scratches or brown areas from using on a burner or sliding into an oven.  The flatter side handles, I think are actually easier to grasp than the rounded ones Le Creuset puts on their braisers now. 

These are so versatile to use as a skillet to saute/braise meat because of the large area on the burner, then add whatever additional ingredients you wish, lots of vegetables, etc and pop the whole thing into the oven for as long as you desire.  When it's meal time, just carry this whole buffet server to the center of the table and allow everyone to serve themselves from the beautiful serving dish that also keeps the entire meal warm for that second helping everyone will be clamoring for.  The braisers work great for paella or rice-the shallow sides with the rounded corners make stirring other ingredients easy and you don't have pieces getting into hidden corners.   

These are dishwasher, oven/broiler, and refrigerator/freezer safe-now what can be more useful than that? Of course, many people prefer to handwash their precious cast iron cookware-which is what I do.  The retail price on some of the buffet casseroles can be as high as $270-$300.  This really is a great price for a great piece of Le Creuset.
