What the shallow cocotte is perfect for

• Its shape makes it perfect for cooking rice dishes and stews that require a wide surface rather than depth.
• It is excellent for roasting in the oven: you can create a base of onions and potatoes, then place a whole fish or a large piece of meat on top for a perfect roast.
• On the hob, thanks to its flat base, it can be used as a griddle for grilling meat, or for sautéing and frying vegetables or preparing sauces.
• Perfect for baking pizzas, bread, and puff pastry! From a delicious Friday night pizza to a filled puff pastry tart or even homemade bread, shallow cocottes ensure perfect baking results.
