Kitchen Aid Cookware: Le Creuset 1-Quart Au Gratin Dishes Review

This au gratin dish is beautifully done in Cherry Red, dark cherry at the bottom, gradiating up into bright red at the top.Though the bottom is not painted, it is rather smooth and will not easily scratch up surfaces it sits upon.The dish is oven and microwave safe which is great versatility.I find it cleans up nice, even baked food comes off with a little soak or tiny amount of scrubbing in soapy water with a dish cloth.It's also dishwasher safe but I always pre-wash the baked on stuff because our dishwasher is not super top of the line.It is a nice shallow oval 1-quart size but it seems a bit more delicate in weight than the 10 inch rectangle baker we have in the Le Creuset Stoneware line so I am careful with it.I have made creamed asparagus, green bean casserole, potatoes au gratin, even baked some frozen buffalo wings in it!Remember this is a 1-quart size so buy it if you prefer to have a smallish au gratin dish for certain things you make.The flaring handles on it make it prettiest baking dish I have.I do recommend this dish.
