Round Casserole / Dutch Oven Size Chart

The chart below compares common Le Creuset round casserole sizes by diameter, handle width, height, depth, capacity, and weight.

How to Choose Your Size

Choose your Le Creuset cookware size by looking at both diameter and capacity. Diameter helps you understand the cooking surface, while capacity helps you estimate how much food the piece can hold.

• Choose a smaller capacity for sauces, sides, smaller portions, or compact storage.
• Choose a mid-size casserole for everyday cooking, one-pot meals, soups, rice, and stews.
• Choose a larger capacity for batch cooking, entertaining, or recipes that need extra room.
• Check width including handles to make sure the cookware fits your stovetop, oven, shelf, or cabinet.

Measuring Tips

• Measure the available space on your stovetop before choosing a larger diameter.
• Measure oven height and shelf depth when selecting cookware with a lid or knob.
• Use capacity as a practical guide when comparing similar Dutch oven or casserole sizes.
• Remember that filled cookware will be heavier than the listed product weight.

Fit Notes

Cookware size is not based on body fit. For Le Creuset products, fit means how well the item matches your cooking method, storage space, stovetop, oven, and recipe needs.

If your available space is limited, check the full width including handles and the height including knob before selecting your size.

Between Sizes Advice

If you are deciding between two sizes, choose the smaller option for lighter handling, compact storage, and smaller recipes. Choose the larger option when you often cook bigger portions or want extra space for stirring, simmering, and braising.

Product Detail Reminder

Product measurements may vary by cookware line, lid style, knob type, handle shape, and individual product design. Always review the product detail page before ordering to confirm the exact size, capacity, and weight for the item you plan to buy.
