Know before you buy
This cocotte holds 0.25 quarts, which is equivalent to 8 ounces. It is specifically designed for individual portions, such as single-serve gratins, soufflés, or lava cakes.
Yes, the smooth enamel bottom is compatible with all stovetops, including induction. However, due to its small size, ensure your burner diameter is small enough to avoid heating the handle or surrounding air.
The cocotte itself is oven-safe up to 900°F. While the base can handle high heat, the nickel steel knob is oven-safe as well, allowing you to use the lid during the baking process.
No, this piece is enameled, so it does not require seasoning. The matte texture is designed to provide superior browning and is naturally resistant to sticking over time.
Yes, it is dishwasher safe. However, hand washing with mild soap and a soft sponge is recommended to maintain the vibrant exterior finish and prevent any potential dulling over time.
