What makes the WMF Flavour cast iron cocotte and pan special

The pieces in the Flavour collection have all the virtues that come from their cast iron construction. This cocotte and pan set has everything you need to enjoy cooking and savouring the results:

• Its excellent heat retention and distribution. Cast iron is a material that absorbs and retains heat beautifully, transferring it evenly throughout the body of the cocotte and the pan. They are ideal pieces for slow-cooking your best recipes, such as stews and casseroles, creamy soups, sauces, soups and purées, and they are also excellent for cooking at high temperatures, when you want to fry, brown, sauté, reduce or bake bread doughs, brioches or sponge cakes.
  
• The condensation lid of the cocotte. The cast iron condensation lid is excellent at balancing the temperature during cooking. It keeps 25% more of the food’s moisture, juices and aromas inside the pot, and spreads the condensation water evenly over the food, like rain. The results are much tastier, juicier and more tender.
  
• Its matt black enamel gives them great elegance and means that no seasoning is needed before use. It is a durable coating, free from artificial non-stick materials. Both the cocotte and the pan are naturally non-stick and will last you a lifetime. With use and over time, the enamelled surface develops a patina that enhances this natural non-stick effect.
  
• They are suitable for all hobs, including induction. They are also oven safe up to 250 °C. This makes them very practical, as you can start your recipes on the hob and, if needed, finish them in the oven without changing pans.
• The design of the 24 cm cocotte gives it a generous 5.2-litre capacity and great versatility. You can slow-cook your best recipes, whether stewing, braising or making sauces and reductions, stocks, soups and purées. Its height and excellent heat retentionmake it perfect for sautéing, browning or frying at high temperatures. It is also a great baking dish for bread doughs, sponge cakes or brioches.
• The design of the sauté-style pan, with high, straight sidesgives it greater capacity and great versatility. It is not just a 28 cm pan for frying, sautéing, browning or roasting; you also have a shallow 28 cm casserole with a capacity of 3.4 litres, in which you can slow-cook your best recipes. Stewing, braising, sauces and reductions, even brothy rice dishes and risottos. It is also a great baking dish or tray for bread doughs, sponge cakes, sweet and savoury tarts, pizzas and pies. 
• Its handcrafted manufacture. The Flavour collection is handmade in Germany. This handcrafted manufacture makes each cocotte and pan a unique piece, showing the perfect imperfection of utensils made by hand, one by one, which, while perfect, are not exactly identical to each other. Each piece has a unique number indicating its production. 
  
• The cocotte handles are wide and ergonomic. As cast iron pieces, they are not light, so the wide handles make them easier and safer to handle, even when wearing oven gloves or using pot holders.
  
• The pan has a handle and a helper handle. With a diameter of 28 cm and being a cast iron piece, the helper handle makes it easier and safer to handle.
• The handle and helper handles are made of cast iron, so they get hot during cooking, both on the hob and in the oven. Use oven gloves or pot holders when moving it from the hob to the oven or to the table. 
• They are sturdy and made to last a lifetime. They come with a 30-year guarantee on the enamelled surface, both inside and out. To avoid damaging the enamelled surface, always cook with wooden, nylon or heat-resistant silicone utensils. Sharp metal utensils must not be used.
  
• Easy cleaning. The enamelled surface makes washing them by hand very easy and convenient. Being cast iron, they are not dishwasher safe, but they clean very easily with a soft sponge.

Note: To cook with the Flavour cocotte or pan, heat them gradually and always with a little oil (they must never be heated empty). Heat them on a medium/low setting, letting them warm up evenly all the way through, to make the most of the great heat retention of cast iron and all its efficiency.
