Know before you buy
The spikes on the underside of the lid collect condensation from steam and redistribute it evenly over your food. This process ensures your roasts and stews stay moist and flavorful throughout the cooking process.
Yes, the cast iron construction is compatible with all heat sources, including induction, gas, and electric stoves.
No, this cocotte does not have a nonstick coating. However, the enameled surface is designed to provide excellent browning and searing capabilities, and it will develop a natural patina over time with regular use.
This cocotte is oven-safe up to 500°F, making it suitable for high-heat roasting, baking bread, or finishing dishes under the broiler.
While the cocotte is dishwasher safe, we recommend hand washing with warm, soapy water to preserve the finish and longevity of the enamel coating over the years.
No, because the cocotte features an enameled interior, it does not require seasoning like traditional raw cast iron cookware.
