Randomguy Posted February 23, 2021 Share #1 Posted February 23, 2021 A year or so ago, I found a small Le Creuset baking dish at TJ Maxx for $17, it seemed a great deal and I loved it. However, a crack had formed and got bigger every time I used it, and it recently got to the point where I was concerned that it was going to break in the oven and clean up would be a disaster. I was just going to toss it because I didn't have the receipt, but then decided to call the company on the 1% chance they would warranty it. I talked with a wonderful person there, and she said she'd like to warranty it after I sent in pics of the crackage, but they didn't have the dish exactly and the nearest replacement was unavailable in the color I had. After talking more with her, I told her that I would trust her judgement and that anything she would pick would be great (we got along really well). Anyway, I got the shipment today, and this was what she sent: https://www.lecreuset.com/rectangular-casserole/PG1148S.html It is a 3 1/2 quart baking dish with a nice lid, and it is way bigger than the broken dish. What can I cook in it (other than lasagna)? I really have no idea what it might be great for yet, but I figure one of you cooking champions would have some ideas. What should I bake in it? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parsnip Totin Jack ★ Posted February 23, 2021 Share #3 Posted February 23, 2021 Whatever you want to cook in it! Cannelloni is nice. Any braised meat would be good. A small cut of beef or pork cooked in a curry or soy, honey and rice wine. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsharr ★ Posted February 23, 2021 Share #4 Posted February 23, 2021 I would make hot water and call it vegan cruelty free soup. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here are a couple ham recipes (chicken, ground beef, sausage, etc. could easily be subbed) for a 1 1/2 quart baking dish I've been meaning to try where I'll probably double the size. That would work in the great baking dish you got! Potato-Ham Bake Ingredients 1 pound Yukon gold potatoes, sliced 1 8 ounce tub light cream cheese spread with chive and onion ¾ cup milk ¼ cup finely shredded Parmesan cheese 1 tablespoon snipped fresh tarragon or 1/2 tsp. dried tarragon, crushed 8 ounces cooked boneless ham, cut in bite-sized slices 1 pound fresh asparagus spears, trimmed, cut in 2 to 3-inch pieces Tarragon sprigs (optional) Cheddar-broccoli Pasta Bake Ingredients 1 package knorr pasta sides - cheddar broccoli 2 cups broccoli florets 1 cup shredded monterey jack cheese (about 4 oz) 2 cups cooked ham 1/4 cup panko bread crumbs 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most things you bake in a baking dish are better the second, third, and fourth day. Owl bet you could put away a whole bunch of baked beans. Then tell your daughter to pull your finger. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus, this woman I am seeing bought me one the same size as the broken one, just before I found out that I was going to get a warranty replacement.

MoseySusan Posted February 24, 2021 Share #14 Posted February 24, 2021 Braised meat, like corned beef, pork roast, chuck roast, or ribs. Pull, freeze, and save portions for sandwiches or tacos later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
