What a joke. These Le Creuset Stoneware Petite Casseroles have no purpose. They are 100% smaller than I thought. They are usuless and waaaayyyy overpriced. They aren't worth 5 bucks a piece let alone the $14.99 a piece I paid and I bought 8 of them. save your money! don't buy these!

The properties of cast iron make it the best little fondue pot and mini sauce/gravy boat. Just heat up cream and chocolate to make the ganache and the pot keeps it warm for a long time without a flame. That way you can carry it around the house. Or use on a stand and flame like a regular mini fondue pot. The cast iron distributes the heat evenly and helps prevent scorched chocolate/sauce. Great for a romantic evening or when you just want a few bites and not chocolate fondue for 6. Also good for letting your guests flavour their own personal fondue while still being social. I also use several of them as gravy boats on a long table or next to a particular dish if serving buffet style. Much better than poorly made insulated gravy boats that fall apart or trap food under the rim. Cons: Not cheap & you have to buy more than one to make it really useful.

This is a very small 1/3 quart pot. Its holds one cup of water to the brim. It is used for sauces or melting butter, etc. Mostly it looks pretty. Very costly for such a limited use.
