The Le Creuset 3-piece set is a complete set of three utensils with which you will enjoy cooking and serving your best recipes. It includes a cast iron 24cm Sauteuse type cocotte that is perfect for sautéing, simmering, and braising; a stoneware 23cm Classic Square Tray for mouth-watering bakes and roasts; and a silicone 20cm Cool Tool to protect your surfaces from hot cookware. Three pieces as practical as they are beautiful, with the quality of Le Creuset.

What's included in the set

• Low cast iron 24cm Sauteuse type cocotte

Known as the cast iron risotto pan , this is a wide cocotte, like the traditional Le Creuset cocotte, but with lower walls. It is a very versatile piece, an ideal casserole for preparing all kinds of roasts, rice dishes, fish, soupy stews or biscuits, with excellent and very tasty results.

It is suitable for all types of fires (including induction) and oven. It can also be frozen in it and washed in the dishwasher. Le Creuset saucepans and cocottes are particularly suitable for slow cookers over low heat to obtain the most tender and flavorful meats.

This low cocotte is ideal if what you are looking for is a wide cocotte and the height is not essential in your stews . It is exactly the same cocotte, with the same design, material and finishes, as Le Creuset's most popular cast iron casserole, but with two advantages to take into account:

• Its weight is lower than that of the traditional 24 cm cocotte. By having lower walls there is less amount of iron, therefore, it is not as heavy as the traditional cocotte of the same diameter.
• As there is less height, the lid is closer to the food . It will heat up like the rest of the cocotte in the oven, but since there is less distance, by radiating the heat, it helps to cook more quickly, and especially in meats, a fabulous roast is achieved (it is golden in less time).

The low roaster type cocotte from Le Creuset has a diameter of 24 cm and a capacity of 3.4 liters. It is a piece that has a lifetime guarantee.

• 23cm Classic Square Tray

This square tray is one of the Le Creuset classics. A very versatile dish, ideal for roasting meat, fish or vegetables, gratin lasagna, cannelloni or macaroni or even for your sweetest recipes or for baking bread! In addition, its beautiful design invites you to take it to the table just as it comes out of the oven.

It is a stoneware ceramic fountain like no other. Made with the most robust clay on the market and fired at 1300 °C to create a unique product, with exceptional durability and great virtues:

• Le Creuset stoneware ceramic is highly resistant to knocks, scratches and stains.
  
• Its non-porous enamel surface does not absorb odors or flavours, it is very easy to clean, leaving a shiny finish.
• The ceramic is innocuous and waterproofed, which guarantees that humidity will not affect the quality of your tray.

• It is oven, microwave, freezer and dishwasher safe.
• It has a 10-year guarantee.

• Silicone 20cm Cool Tool

The Le Creuset Silicone Cool Tool is the piece that completes this set. It is a very functional and necessary complement to protect your tables and tablecloths from the heat of the cocotte or tray, without damaging your utensils.

It allows you to present your recipes as they come out of the oven without any problem and serve them at the table. In addition, it is flexible, so it can be used as a potholder or mitten, to hold the trays, or to remove dishes and pans from the oven.

You can also use it under your cutting boards when you need to keep them stable, since being made of silicone acts as a non-slip base.
