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

Super 'POT'
from Le Creuset.

This versatile Casserole Dish/Cocotte is ideal for all sorts of recipes and my favourite in this size is:-

'Lamb and Bean Hot-Pot'

starting off on the hob by browning the lamb, adding onions and garlic, then the vegetables, herbs and stock......bringing to the boil then simmering. Then popping in the beans and adding a layer of sliced par-boiled potatoes and transferring to the oven to bake until crisp and golden on top.......a real favourite for these cold winter nights, especially with a hunger prompting aroma in the kitchen!

Or....to show the true versatility of this brilliant 'casserole' dish, you could make what my best friend makes:-

a 'bazaar-sized' cake

to aid local charity funds!

Sturdily boxed, complete with full CAST IRON use and care instructions.
Easy to use and clean by hand, although some soaking and a rub with a plastic brush may be required for the more stubborn baked-on food remains.
Dishwasher safe.....if you have the space....this is a LARGE, and heavy pot!

This size is currently also available in:-

NEW BLUE (Graded Shades)
GRANITE GREY
VOLCANIC ORANGE
ALMOND
SLATE
