• Their smooth satin finish makes them shine both in the kitchen and at the table.

Why we love the shallow cocotte

1. It offers the excellent heat transmission and distribution of any cocotte.
2. It is incredibly versatile, suitable for rice dishes, cakes, meat, or fish. Additionally, being shallow with a lid, heat radiates quickly to the food from all sides, including the top, ensuring fast and even cooking.
3. It is a beautiful piece that you can take directly to the table to impress your guests.
4. Like all Le Creuset products, it is not only practical and highly durable but also so beautiful that it is perfect for presenting food at the table. And we can’t decide which colour we love the most!
