Q. How do I choose a good casserole set?

Answer

Think about how much food will be cooked in a casserole before buying one. Oval pans are preferable for pot roasts and cooking full legs of lamb or chunks of pig, while round casseroles are ideal for making casseroles and soups. Think about the size, too; often, the bigger the better. Make sure the size is appropriate for the kinds of meals the prefer to prepare, since stews and pot roasts require plenty of room for air to flow around the contents. Since it is enameled, cast iron won't rust even if left damp, and it distributes heat uniformly. A lifetime investment for any cook, this is the most costly and heaviest of all the cookware options.
