Know before you buy
Yes, the cast iron construction is fully compatible with induction cooktops, as well as gas, electric, and ceramic ranges.
The cocotte is oven-safe up to 500°F, making it perfect for high-heat roasting or finishing dishes under the broiler.
No, the matte enamel interior does not require seasoning. It is designed to provide excellent browning and is ready for use right out of the box.
While the cocotte is dishwasher safe, hand washing is recommended to maintain the finish and longevity of the enamel coating over time.
The lid is engineered to fit tightly, which effectively locks in moisture and promotes self-basting. This ensures that flavors are concentrated and meats remain tender during long, slow-cooking sessions.
