6 3/4 oval or round le crueset french oven? Hi, I'm buying my husband a 6 3/4 le crueset french oven for xmas but wonder which size is more versatile - oval shape or round?

The general recommendation is round for more stove top use and oval for oven use, as most people have round burners on their stoves it should heat more evenly. I think the oval fits roasts and birds better. I have the oval but I also have a gas stove with a long center burner. Either way you can't go wrong!

What shape is the loaf when it comes out? I don't want one with a tall loaf....I want it to look like a standard loaf pan.

12 inch is as large as you can go, a casserole dish is what I use - 12 x 6 - does great for everything I do. I absolutely enjoy this oven, easy to make everything in it, grilling is the thing I use the least.

When i started no-knead bread, I used the 7 qt dutch oven and it was fine, but now i use a 5qt. I prefer the 5qt, but may try a smaller one someday. Once the 7 qt was tied up on braise duty and made it happily in a Cuisinart 735-24 Chef's Classic Stainless 3-Quart Chef's Pan with Cover

Actually i looked for the same thing when i made the purchase however there was not a size but a shape and what you are looking at fit most toilet bowls. It looked at round vs oval. This fit the toilet bowl in hospital and my home toilet. Not sure if this answered your question.

Thank you for your question. This oven is round in shape. Thank You! Buyhappier

I chose the 16" round over the rectangular because I can't make round pizzas bigger than 14" in the rectangular. So, to me, the extra couple inches on the 16" side would have been useless but there are probably other uses that make the rectangular stone a better fit for some people. I suppose it depends on what you like to make with your stone!

The rack inside this oven is round and you have two height options. This is an excellent microwave and convection oven. I use both ways frequently. The added bonus is it is very quiet. You will not regret this purchase if it is in your budget.

I am wanting to know the size of the 3 quart Chef's casserole.Looking for about 8 inches in diameter and deep enough to put the silicone egg poaching cups in.If anyone has this information?

If you set a cake on a average size dinner plate. That would be the exact measure round. I hope this helps. But its a very sturdy and heavy cake plate very well made. If you told someone you purchased this plate at Macy's or Carson Pierre Scott they would have no problem believing you. Its a very expensive looking cake plate I'm sure it will last for a very long time.

I love this little oven. You can do anything a big oven can do,-Just on a smaller scale. It can fit one slice of a large pizza at a time. Because there is no window, each time you open it to look inside you will lose some of the temperature you selected..but it will recover very quickly, again because of the size. I have made very good cresent rolls & buttermilk biscuits (from ready made in the cardboard roll). Make note of temp & how long you cooked the items you cook so that next time you have a reference for the "doneness" you prefer. Really good purchase.

I have a Crock-Pot brand 6 qt., oval crock-pot and it fits great with at least an inch all the way around. This is a great product, I LOVE mine so much I've already bought and given away 4 of them as gifts. The only draw back is that it doesn't have a hard bottom but I just cut outan oval piece of cardboard and covered it in duck tape to make it a little stronger and spill proof.

I do lot's of chilli on the stove top and since the burners are round, I went w/ the round base model. If you're going to do casserole in the oven, perhaps a oval model would work well.

All are round. Three different outside diameters. I have used then with success for cheese cakes.

These are oval shaped and not designed for round pies. If you use the bowls it comes with that would be fine, but you can't put them in the oven. You end up needing to make something more like a no bake cheesecake / pudding type. Try looking at some of Wilton's stands.

Amazon obviously screwed up on dimensions. I have both, and they're both #12's, the only difference is the 8 quart is the #12 DEEP. Use depends on whether baking or "stewing". The more shallow 6 quart is perfect for sourdough biscuits, (or biscuits in general). I do more baking than stewing and find the "deep" ovens perfect for raised breads. (Read my review of Lodge's 2 quart Dutch oven.)
