Tradition cocotte
Made of cast iron with vitreous enamel, the Tradition cocotte is the classic cocotte model, predating the Evolution cocotte. It features:
- It may come with a steel knob (suitable for maximum temperatures of 250 ºC) or with a phenolic knob (black, suitable for maximum temperatures of 200 °C).
- Its handles are slightly smaller than those of the Evolution.
- The lid has the traditional design.
You'll recognise the available Tradition cocottes in the colour variant selector (colour ending in "Tradition")
Evolution cocotte or Signature cocotte
With the same cast iron and vitreous enamel construction, the Evolution cocotte is Le Creuset's latest model. Also known as the Signature cocotte, it includes the following improvements:- It comes with a stainless steel knob, suitable for maximum temperatures of 250 ºC.
- Larger handles for holding and carrying the cast iron pot from the oven to the table more comfortably and safely, even with oven gloves.
- Updated lid design, with a better fit to keep all the moisture and flavour inside the cocotte.
NOTE: The 24 cm Evolution cocotte in meringue comes with the new Crucible stainless steel knob.

What makes Le Creuset cocottes special
- Being made of enamelled cast iron, the cocottes are suitable for all types of hob (including induction) and the oven, and can even be frozen and washed in the dishwasher.
- Its smooth satin finish makes them shine both in the kitchen and at the table.
- Le Creuset casseroles and cocottes are especially suited to slow cooking over low heat for the most tender and flavourful meat.
- Free from non-stick coatings, they are pieces that offer 100% natural cooking of food.
- No other material transmits heat like iron. So they heat up from the base and the heat rises up the sides (and the lid!), heating the whole dish and the food from all sides, for faster, more even and efficient cooking.
- With a lifetime warranty.
NOTE: The cocotte with a black exterior has a black enamelled interior: exactly the same enamelled iron as the other cocottes, but without the cream-coloured enamel.
What can you make in a Le Creuset cocotte?
Everything! Round cast iron cocottes are versatile! Le Creuset cocottes are suitable for both the hob (including induction) and the oven (or the barbecue or fireplace if you wish). And you can make:
- Stews and casseroles: They are ideal for slow-cooked dishes such as stews, casseroles and soups. Cast iron distributes heat evenly, cooking the ingredients slowly and bringing out their flavours.
- Roasts: From roast chicken to larger joints such as lamb or pork, cocottes are perfect for roasting. They retain moisture and caramelise the ingredients for juicy, flavourful results.
- Slow-cooked meat: Make slow-cooked meat dishes such as ragù, pulled meat or even ribs. The constant, gentle heat ensures tender meat full of flavour.
- Creams and soups: put them on the hob and let them simmer away for hours.
- Pulses and vegetables: All kinds of pulses and vegetables. From boiling them to making your stews, youcan cook hearty dishes full of vitamins, iron and goodness.
- Rice: from simply boiling it to making risottos or rice dishes your way.
- Fish: stewed or roasted, it turns out fabulous.
-
Pasta dishes: From lasagne to macaroni cheese, cocottes are perfect for baked pasta dishes. They allow even cooking and retain heat to keep dishes warm. They are tall, roomy pots, so you can boil all kinds of pasta in them. And if you want to finish it off under the grill in the oven, you can do it in the same cocotte.
- Vegetarian dishes: Cook steamed vegetables (by placing a steamer inside it), gratins or stir-fries. Cocottes preserve nutrients and bring out the natural flavours of vegetables.
- Breads and cakes: Heat retention makes cocottes ideal for baking bread, buns and cakes. The lid creates a moist environment that helps form a crispy crust and a soft crumb (in fact, as it keeps the moisture from the dough inside the cocotte, you don't need to add steam to the oven as with other bread-making methods).
- Sauces and reductions: Even heat distribution helps you create perfect sauces and reductions. From pasta sauces to glazes for meat, cocottes are excellent for slow cooking.
- Hot drinks, jams, and so many other desserts: with a cocotte you have a surface that spreads heat from the base to the sides very efficiently, while offering a large capacity in both width and height. So they are ideal for cooking everything from hot drinks and punches to jams, rice pudding, custards and any other desserts and dishes you can imagine.
Why we like the Le Creuset Evolution round cocotte
- Like all cocottes, heat transfer and distribution is perfect thanks to the wonderful iron structure of these casseroles.
- Like all Le Creuset products, it is not only practical and very durable, but so beautiful that it can be used to serve food at the table.
- It's incredibly versatile! Both because you can use it on the hob and in the oven, and because you can make all kinds of dishes in it (starters, mains, desserts, ...)
