Manufacturer's Description
From oven to table, the Le Creuset Cocotte keeps food hot, moist and full of flavour. Whether you're cooking chilli or risotto, pasta or jambalaya, pot-roasting a chicken, even baking bread and cakes, you can do it all in a le Creuset Cocotte.

About Le Creuset Cast Iron Cookware
Le Creuset cast iron cookware is in a class of it's own. Every piece is individually crafted and passes through more than thirty pairs of craftsmens' hands. Made at the famous Le Creuset foundry in Fresnoy-Le-Grand, Northern France and favoured by restaurateurs and celebrity chefs each cast iron pot comes with a lifetime guarantee.

Highest Quality Vitreous Enamel
All Le Creuset cast iron products are coated with the highest quality vitreous enamel. The hygienic impermeable enamelled surface means Le Creuset can be used for marinating food prior to cooking or for food storage after cooking.

Heat Sources
Le Creuset enamelled cast iron cookware can be used on the stovetop, in the oven and under the grill. Le Creuset is suitable for use on all heat sources including electric, gas, ceramic, halogen top and induction.

Heat Distribution and Retention
Cast Iron is a superior conductor of heat. The even thickness of the base, walls and lid means that heat distribution is even and energy efficient. Furthermore, the heat retention properties of the pieces are second to none, ensuring that the pot stays hot for second helpings.

Energy Efficient
Le Creuset cast iron is an efficient material in absorbing and distributing heat, therefore, there is no need to use high heat. Best cooking results are obtained on low to medium settings; using Le Creuset on high settings may result in enamel chipping.

Table Use
Le Creuset is stylish enough to be taken straight from the kitchen to the table where its wide choice of colour coordinate with almost any home décor.

Customer Reviews

A pot is a pot - not
I don't know why but everything tastes better (and everything's soooooo much easier to cook); chilli, risotto or Bourguignon. It seems expensive but one of these will last for ever. Compare that to how many dodgy non-stick pans you'll have to buy, not to mention have you tried putting one of them in the oven?

Cast Iron Casserole 28 cm Size in CERISE RED (Graded Shades)
from Le Creuset.

ROUND 28 cm / Approx Capacity - 6.7L

Sturdily boxed with use and care instruction booklet included.
Easy to use and clean, by hand, or pop it in the dishwasher.

Simply brilliant - this versatile Casserole Dish/Cocotte is ideal for all sorts of recipes, and my favourite in this size is
'Beef 'N' Beer', from:-

The Cast Iron Way to Cook, by Sue Cutts, one of the consultants for Le Creuset.

'Cooking meat in beer or ale is a centuries-old cooking technique, and the flavour harmonizes with beef particularly well.
This is a fairly rustic recipe that makes a good winter weekend meal or a casual entertaining dish......'

The recipe recommends the use of any ROUND or OVAL 24 to 29 cm size, so it is quite able to be 'tweaked' to suit the number of servings required.

For other recipe ideas, using Le Creuset, it is certainly also worth looking at Le Creuset's UK website/'Recipe Centre'.

Available in a variety of other colours and sizes, too, all at an excellent price, on Amazon, today.
