Even heat distribution
Gently prepare aromatic stewed dishes, thanks to the cocotte’s superior even heat distribution. Cast iron is a carbon-rich iron alloy and so is exceptional at retaining heat, diffusing it slowly and distributing it evenly. Once cast iron is hot, you can turn the heat down to a minimum for gentle simmering and to reduce energy consumption. Cast iron also retains cold: refrigerate before serving and your cast iron product will remain cool at the table.

Self-basting lid structure
Very little oil is required for cooking and only a little water for steaming, which helps intensify nutrients and flavours and makes for healthier meals. The lid has a specially contoured underside to promote continuous dripping of moisture onto the entire food cooking. The lid distributes moisture more effectively than conventional lids, resulting in optimum flavours and juicy cooking results.

Enamelling benefits
An intense colour on the exterior is achieved through 'Majolica' enamelling. The interior matt black enamelling is robust, easy to clean and ideal for particularly crisp searing. This enamelling simultaneously improves the stewing properties and enhances the natural flavour of meat, vegetables and other ingredients, so that flavours unfold perfectly.

Versatile use
Cook stews in the cocotte, sear, try slow-cooked dishes and even bake bread. It can be used on all types of hobs, including induction, and is heat-resistant in the oven up to 250°C. Not suitable for the microwave or dishwasher.
