<p>A good casserole dish, or dutch oven, is one of the most useful pieces of kit I own. It’s the kind of pan I reach for when I’m making <a href="/recipes/collection/soup-recipes">soups</a>, <a href="/recipes/collection/healthy-casserole-stew-recipes">stews</a>, slow-cooked dishes or rich sauces and it earns its keep because it can go from hob to <a href="/review/best-ovens" target="_blank" rel="noopener">oven</a> without a second thought.</p><p>The best ones are also good-looking enough to bring straight to the table, which means less washing-up and more time eating. Cast iron can feel pricey, but a well-made dish will last for decades and only gets better with use. That said, I’ve also found great budget options in non-stick metal and ceramic, depending on what you cook most. In this guide, the Our Place Titanium Perfect Pot Pro is my top-rated pick.</p><p><em>The latest additions to this guide were tested and reviewed by <a href="/author/annalawson" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Anna Lawson</a>. </em></p>

<p><strong>Meet Lydia</strong>
I love a good casserole dish, I actually own two: one small one for everyday use and a larger one for ragùs and other things. I bake sourdough most weeks and slow-cooked tacos are my go-to dinner party dish, so I know what makes a casserole dish worth its place in the kitchen.

<p>The result is one very durable bit of kit that’s heat-safe up to 535C – much higher than other dishes we tested and ideal if you need to crank the oven up at the end of cooking. The fully-sealed rims meant this pot locked moisture in well when slow-cooking a beef casserole, and the fact it’s dishwasher-safe was the icing on the cake for us.</p><p><strong>Available from:</strong></p><ul><li><a href="https://our-place.pxf.io/c/1236178/1679350/19449?subId1=bbcgoodfood-302744&u=https%3A%2F%2Ffromourplace.co.uk%2Fproducts%2Ftitanium-perfect-pot-pro" target="_blank" rel="sponsored">Our Place (£145)</a></li><li><a href="https://www.awin1.com/cread.php?id=489797&clickref=bbcgoodfood-302744&awinmid=22320&p=https%3A%2F%2Fhealf.com%2Fen-uk%2Fproducts%2Four-place-titanium-perfect-pot-pro-chrome" target="_blank" rel="sponsored">Healf (£155)</a></li></ul>

Likewise, while all the dishes we tested had a knob on the lid for lifting, Le Creuset’s has slightly softer edges, a more ergonomic shape and size, and it’s heat-resistant to 260C.</p>

<p>We also found this dish had impressive heat-retaining qualities, keeping food piping hot even once out of the oven.

It arrived packaged mostly in cardboard with a compostable felt-like protective bag – a premium touch, though composting at home isn’t entirely straightforward.</p><p>What immediately sets it apart from a classic casserole is the design: instantly recognisable as Smeg and markedly different from more traditional options. Whether that appeals will come down to personal taste but it’s hard not to be won over by how practical it is in use. It’s noticeably lighter than cast iron, making it far easier to lift and manoeuvre when full, and the wide stainless steel handles give a comfortable, secure grip.</p><p>The <a href="https://www.bbcgoodfood.com/review/best-ceramic-cookware" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ceramic</a> non-stick coating is the real highlight. We slowly caramelised onions and cooked a stew, and nothing caught or stuck, something you’d rarely achieve in cast iron. Cleanup is easy and it’s dishwasher-safe too.</p><p>At £149.95 the 24cm size may feel limiting for larger batches but for everyday hob-to-oven cooking it’s a genuinely impressive pan.</p>

<p><strong>Best casserole dish for small kitchens</strong></p><p><strong>Pros:</strong></p><ul><li>Stackable design</li><li>3-in-1 design – great value for £100</li><li>Hob-compatible, including induction</li><li>Dishwasher-safe</li></ul><p><strong>Cons:</strong></p><ul><li>Heavy</li><li>Griddle needs seasoning before each use</li></ul><p><strong>Star rating: 4.5/5</strong></p><p>The ideal pick for families with small kitchens, this stackable set includes two casserole dishes, both 24cm in diameter but one is taller than the other. In the box you also get a griddle pan and a matching lid, all for £100, which I think is great value.</p><p>A collaboration between M&S and chef Tom Kerridge, this set isn’t just easy to store, it’s pleasant on the eye too, as its matt black design will blend seamlessly with your kitchen. It’s hob-safe (including with induction) and when I used it to make a hearty beef stew, it proved itself to be the perfect vessel for even cooking. Its ability to go from hob to oven, then to table (and then dishwasher), makes it highly convenient.</p><p>Being made from cast iron, this casserole dish is heavy, and when nestled as an entire set it’s even heavier. I’d recommend avoiding this if you’re less able to carry heavy items.</p>

It’s suitable for all hob types including <a href="https://www.bbcgoodfood.com/review/best-induction-pans" target="_blank" rel="noopener">induction</a>, and we were pleased to find that it didn’t need pre-seasoning – just a quick re-oiling after each use as the cast iron isn’t enamelled. Just bear in mind that the lid is only oven-safe to 180C, whereas the cast iron base is up to 240C.

<p><strong>Best lightweight casserole dish </strong></p><p><strong>Pros:</strong></p><ul><li>Super lightweight</li><li>Large capacity</li></ul><p><strong>Cons:</strong></p><ul><li>Only oven-safe up to 200C</li></ul><p>At a glance, the MasterClass dish looks like a cast-iron casserole pot. Pick it up, though, and you’ll be pleasantly surprised by how lightweight it actually is. It’s a deep one, so we recommend trying it between your oven shelves in a cold oven, just in case you need to rearrange them for cooking.</p><p>There was no sticking when it came to browning chicken legs on its non-stick base, which heated quickly and evenly. It’s also PFOA- and BOA-free; a good option for chemical-free cooking. The dish has a self-basting lid that successfully kept moisture circulating within a casserole, which came out tender and thick.</p><p>It’s safe for oven use up to 200C, so there are limitations to the functionality of this dish when it comes to using in very hot ovens; it’s one for low and slow cooking. However, being so lightweight and dishwasher-safe, it gets points for overall convenience. It also comes with a 25-year guarantee.</p>

If you have money to spend on a classic casserole pot, the Staub is a small but perfectly formed option designed to last. At 24cm across, the dish is roughly the same width as any generic pan and compact enough to stack in the average cupboard. This casserole dish is available in 11 different sizes.</p><p>We fit four chicken thighs in against its matte black cooking surface and found there to be some initial sticking whilst we seared the skin, even with a layer of oil. However, over time the dish is designed to build up a natural non-stick patina and has a legacy of long-term performance.</p><p>Cast iron holds and distributes heat evenly across its surface. With such high sides, we found our casserole simmered well. Small picots beneath its lid guide all condensed moisture back into the casserole itself. Plus, although its little handles are not heatproof, they are a practical shape for gripping and come in handy for lifting it in and out the oven.</p><p><strong>Available from:</strong></p><ul><li><a href="https://www.awin1.com/cread.php?id=489797&clickref=bbcgoodfood-302744&awinmid=34687&p=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.zwilling.com%2Fuk%2Fstaub-la-cocotte-20-cm-round-cast-iron-cocotte-black-40509-487-0%2F40509-487-0.html" target="_blank" rel="sponsored">Staub (from £249)</a></li><li><a href="https://john-lewis-and-partners.pxf.io/c/1236178/871855/12148?size=24cm&subId1=bbcgoodfood-302744&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.johnlewis.com%2Fstaub-cocotte-round-cast-iron-casserole%2Fblack%2Fp3358491%3Fsize%3D24cm" target="_blank" rel="sponsored">John Lewis & Partners (from £329)</a></li><li><a href="https://www.amazon.co.uk/STAUB-Cast-Round-Cocotte-Black/dp/B0010VIEEM?th=1&tag=bbc00-21&ascsubtag=bbcgoodfood-302744" target="_blank" rel="sponsored">Amazon (£349)</a></li></ul><h3 id="le-creuset-signature-shallow-casserole-dish-abee0d20">Le Creuset signature shallow casserole dish</h3><p>Available from <a href="https://www.awin1.com/cread.php?id=489797&clickref=bbcgoodfood-302744&awinmid=32187&p=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.hartsofstur.com%2Fle-creuset-signature-cast-iron-30cm-shallow-casserole-2118030.html" target="_blank" rel="sponsored">Harts of Stur (£268)</a>, <a href="https://click.linksynergy.com/deeplink?id=fCcqUDB%2FB0M&mid=50370&u1=bbcgoodfood-302744&murl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.lecreuset.co.uk%2Fen_GB%2Fp%2Fcast-iron-shallow-casserole%2FCI1180.html" target="_blank" rel="sponsored">Le Creuset (from £289)</a>, <a href="https://www.amazon.co.uk/Creuset-Signature-Cast-Shallow-Casserole/dp/B00YUZ1KY6?tag=bbc00-21&ascsubtag=bbcgoodfood-302744" target="_blank" rel="sponsored">Amazon (£334.98)</a></p>

Slow cooks and braises are often sometimes a little more time-consuming, so making 4-6 portions can future-proof your freezer.
