What sets the Flavour WMF cast iron Cocotte apart

The Flavour cocotte has all the virtues provided by cast iron construction. Its handmade manufacture, its cast iron condensation lid, and its modern and minimalist design make this elegant pot an essential kitchen piece, standing out for:

• Its excellent heat retention and distribution. Cast iron is a material that wonderfully absorbs and retains heat, distributing it evenly throughout the body of the cocotte. It is an ideal pot for cooking your best stews, braises, creams, sauces, soups, and purées, allowing you to cook very efficiently at very low heat, thanks to its excellent temperature retention, perfect for recipes requiring gentle cooking. It is also an excellent option for high-temperature cooking when you want to fry, brown, sauté, reduce, and bake bread dough, brioches, or cakes.
  
• Its condensation lid. The cast iron condensation lid excellently balances temperature during cooking. It retains 25% more moisture, juices, and aromas inside the pot, distributing condensation water evenly over the food as a gentle rain. The results are much tastier, juicier, and more tender.
  
• Its matte enamel coating, in black or violet, gives it great elegance and means it requires no seasoning before use. It is a durable coating free of artificial non-stick agents. The cocotte is naturally non-stick and will last you a lifetime. With use and time, the enameled surface develops a patina that enhances this natural non-stick quality.
  
• It is suitable for all types of cooktops, including induction. It is also oven-safe up to 250 °C. This makes it very functional, allowing you to start cooking your recipes on the stove and, if necessary, finish them in the oven without changing cookware.
• Its design offers generous capacity and great versatility. You can cook your best recipes on low heat, whether stewing, braising, making sauces and reductions, broths, soups, and purées. Its height and excellent heat retention make it perfect for sautéing, browning, or frying at high temperatures. It is also a great mold for baking bread dough, cakes, or brioches.
• Its handmade manufacture. The Flavour cocotte is made in Germany and handcrafted. This artisanal production makes each pot a unique piece, showing the perfect imperfection of handcrafted cookware, each one slightly different from the others. Each cocotte has a unique number indicating its production.
  
• Its wide, ergonomic handles. Being made of cast iron, these are not lightweight pots, so wide handles facilitate handling, even with oven gloves or pot holders, and make it safer. The handles heat up during cooking, both on the stove and in the oven. Oven gloves or holders should be used when transferring from heat to oven or table.
  
• It is robust and made to last a lifetime. It has a 30-year warranty on the enameled surface, both inside and out. To avoid damaging the enameled surface, always cook with wooden, nylon, or heat-resistant silicone utensils. Sharp metal utensils should not be used.
  
• Its easy cleaning. The enameled surface makes hand washing very easy and convenient. As it is cast iron, it is not dishwasher safe, but cleans easily with a soft sponge.

Note: When cooking with the Flavour cocotte, it should be heated gradually and always with some oil (never heat it empty). Heating should be done on medium/low power, allowing the pot to heat evenly throughout to take advantage of cast iron’s great heat retention and efficiency.
