Know before you buy
The tiny spikes on the underside of the lid act as a self-basting system. They catch evaporating moisture and distribute it evenly back onto your food, which helps keep meats and vegetables tender during long braises.
No, the interior is finished with a durable matte black enamel. It does not require seasoning and is designed to provide excellent browning and resistance to wear over time.
Yes, the cast iron construction is fully compatible with induction cooktops, as well as gas, electric, and ceramic glass ranges.
While the cocotte is technically dishwasher-safe, we recommend hand-washing with warm, soapy water to preserve the luster of the enamel finish over the long term.
This piece weighs 16 pounds. Given its size and weight, it is best to use both side handles when moving it from the stovetop to the oven or table.
The 7-quart capacity is quite generous and ideal for large batches, such as whole chickens, hearty stews, or soups meant to serve 6 to 8 people.
