Usage Note
Casserole in French refers strictly to a saucepan or cooking pot, not a baked dish as in English. The English 'casserole dish' is called un plat allant au four or un plat à gratin in French. The informal expression chanter comme une casserole means 'to sing terribly.'
Examples
"Elle fait chauffer l'eau dans une casserole."
Natural Translation
