I'm thrilled! I think that's what best defines what I feel after having the Le Creuset oval mini-cocottes exclusively in Spain! And I think it's no wonder, because we are a very small company, but they have given us this vote of confidence, and it makes us very happy.
As you know, we already had the round mini-cocottes of 10 cm in diameter. But the fact is that a couple of clients had asked us for the oval ones , which they had seen in France. We ordered them for them, and then we asked to have the product for ourselves. Wish granted!
What do we love about oval cocottes? First of all, their design – it is the most traditional cocotte shape – followed by their capacity, which is larger than that of round mini-cocottes (0.3ml for oval ones compared to 0.2ml). the round ones); and to top it off the price: The same as the round ones despite being somewhat larger!
Some people wonder what mini-cocottes are used for. I think the answer is so broad that Le Creuset even made a book about it.
Mini cocottes are great for serving individual dishes, making for a great presentation. They are made of ceramic, so they can be put in the oven or microwave. They are said to be “from oven to table to refrigerator” and are great for serving first courses or desserts, and they are also great for storing leftovers. Some people also use them to store spices or other ingredients.
And what dishes can I serve in a mini-cocotte? Appetisers, individually cooked lasagnas, soups or creams, salads, shrimp cocktails, egg recipes… Everything that tradition or creativity invites you to make. We should also mention desserts, but I think you already have an idea, right?
I would not like to end this article without emphasizing the quality and elegance of this Le Creuset product. You will win over your guests just by serving lunch or dinner in these mini-marvels!

Yo las compré hace poco y son una monada. Las vi en vuestra página y fue amor a primera vista. Solo he podido usarlas para servir una sopita y arroz con leche (no he tenido tiempo para más) y la presentación fue fantástica.
Les he hecho hueco en un aparador de la cocina para lucirlas.
