Picture a deep dish with a heavy lid sitting in a warm oven: meat, vegetables and liquid go in together, the lid goes on, and time does the work. The word names the dish, the food that comes out of it, and the act of cooking that way — the same scene viewed from three angles.
From the word’s history
French casserole originally named the pan itself (a small saucepan/dish); English borrowed the container word and then let it stand for the food cooked in it.
這個字借自法文 casserole，原本指的就是「那個鍋子」（一種小燉鍋、深盤）。英文先借走了容器的名字，之後才讓它連鍋裡煮出來的東西一起代表——所以「鍋」是這個字比較原始的一面，「菜」是後來從鍋子借過去的。
