Loss of liquid when cooking casseroles

I often make a large beef or oxtail meat casserole in a jumbo le Creuset cast iron pan but find one of the consequences of a long cook is loss of liquid. This reduces the end amount of food available. I cook at around 160 C and put a sheet of foil between the lid and pan to reduce evaporation but this still happens.

Does anybody have any hints on how to eliminate this problem?

  • Any visible signs of steam escaping Primrose? Could your dish rim/lid have a ding in it?
    There's an extensive FAQ on the Le Creuset website - could your pan be getting too hot/heating unevenly (it seems to be an issue)?
