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!

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.

No, it will not work in your oval dutch oven. The dimension are 9 3/4" Diameter X 5 1/8 Deep, Handle measures 8" L X 6 1/2" H. Hope this helps.

Sandy, It looks like answers for more than one size roaster are all showing up in one general Q&A for Granite Ware. I have the 13-inch roaster which refers to the length including the handles, not the interior length. I can roast a smaller chicken in it and I use the Harold 11 3/4 x 8 1/2 oval rack BUT I had to bend it down the middle with pliers because it was slightly too wide to fit (I think the width of mine is 8 inches.) It was hard to bend and is not perfectly symmetrical but I like the slight V that formed in the rack. The bottom of the roaster has indentations to prevent a bird from sealing to the bottom if you want to cook without a rack, which I have also done. Hope this helps a little.

Either one would fit the 5 1/2 qt round oven. Medium knob is designed to fit round french oven: 2qt., 3 1/2qt., 4 1/2qt., 5 1/2qt. That is the one I bought and it works well. The large isn't that much bigger and wouldn't look out-of-place on the 5 1/2 qt. I I put the large knob on my 6 3/4 qt oval which should also take the medium and it looks fine and gives a bit more to grab onto. Just a matter of preference really.

I bought mine a little over a year ago and it is more square than round. I don't know which version/shape provides more surface area for cooking. I don't see a downside to either version. No hot or cool spots. All things being equal, the heating source is the key to success. The slightly square version fits nicely and is stable on my portable gas grill.

if this will help if you go to your local grocery store and find a 2-3 layer cake its about exactly that size but if would be a perfect fit with a 2 layer cake so its on average the "ROUND" size of your average kitchen plate..Hope that helps...So a three layer cake may squash it but a two layer cake in height would be the PERFECT size ...height wise.

Round. It has legs on both sides - longer ones to get your food closer to the heat source which is in the top of the machine, and shorter ones for greater distance. Because of the legs you're pretty much limited to the diameter of the rack for your cooking container. And be careful when removing the rack from the oven when you're done: wicket hot!!

Pampered Chef used to sell a tiny baking stone just the perfect size for toaster ovens. I use mine in this oven and it fits perfectly. It is a small rectangular one if they still sell it. Hope that helps.

Yes. I have a very large oval cooker and it fits it even better than it would a round one. They even come with ties so that you can use them as a cooking bag in a pan in the regular oven.

I have this (large) knob on my 5 qt. oval Dutch oven (approx. 23cmX29cm) and it is a good fit... Looks fine. You need a large knob to get a good grip when lifting a heavier large lid.

I think 2 of the oval type ; small 18 in I love for small roast or bigger chicken; even stew....the larger on is like 21 in and is for Turkey size or large roast, I've used mine for 2 big beef roasts with potatoes and carrots etc like pot roast yumm. THERE are round roasters with lids too and I love mine it is great making sauce for spaggetti ....hope this helps...

My new knob came from Le Creuset. It is larger and stronger than the original and I like it. I have baked bread in it at 425 degrees with no problem, but only a few times.

Hi...This was an awesome product!Depends how big your round cake is because you can certainly cut it around to fit your shape. Hope this helps...:)-

I don't know about a smaller version of this toaster oven, but I saw the same version of this in red in a Fingerhut catalog recently. Personally, I really like the 6-slice version because of the large, round pizza option. I use mine all the time to bake in and am very satisfied with the results. Hope this helps.

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.
