Le Creuset Cast Iron Round Casserole with Glass Lid

Just as French and versatile as the traditional Le Creuset round cocotte, this new version of the Le Creuset Cast Iron Round Casserole with Glass Lid has been designed for a more dynamic everyday life. Look at all its advantages:

• It is a 22 cm diameter cocotte, perfect for making up to 4-5 servings.
• It has a glass lid, which makes it lighter than the traditional cocotte with an iron lid, and allows for easier handling. In addition, the glass lid helps you see the progress of your recipes at all times, as well as being perfect for avoiding splashes (especially if you make fried foods or sauces in the cocotte). It also has a steam escape valve, which allows you to better control the risk of spills when boiling pasta and rice in your daily dishes.
• The glass lid works for other pots and pans! So, apart from the previous benefits of the cocotte, you can use it in your daily preparations with your other utensils.
• An all-rounder: like the Le Creuset round cocotte, this cocotte is suitable for the fire, AND also for the oven! (suitable up to 300 °C without lid and up to 190 °C with the glass lid with phenolic knob).
• As it has a glass lid and not an iron one, in addition to being lighter in weight it is also lighter in price: it is a cheaper cocotte than the traditional one.
• Equally practical and efficient: since the body is the same as that of the traditional cocotte, it is a saucepan that heats up very quickly, is free of non-stick, offers you 100% natural cooking and extraordinary results.
• In this cocotte you can sauté, boil, steam (with accessory), stew and roast with fabulous results.

More Things You'll Like About the Le Creuset Cast Iron Round Casserole with Glass Lid

This round enameled cast iron saucepan from Le Creuset is an ideal choice for slow cooking. With a diameter of 22 cm, this cocotte has a capacity of 3.3 liters, making it perfect for households of up to 3-4 people.

The enameled interior provides a perfect surface for browning food without burning. Plus, it's easy to clean. The enamel is resistant and can withstand intensive use (although it is especially recommended never to put it over high heat, the iron will distribute the heat fabulously). An advantage of the enameled interior is that it does not allow acids to affect the cast iron. This means that you can cook a tomato sauce in this saucepan without it taking on the iron flavor.

It comes with a glass lid so you can keep an eye on your food while it cooks. It is also oven safe, resisting temperatures of up to 200°C if you use it with the lid.

You can use it on all types of cookers, including induction ones.

Note: If you want your cocotte with a glass lid to be able to go in the oven up to 250 ºC, it is possible! The only thing you have to do is change the phenolic knob for a steel one (doing so is very easy, it is done by simply turning a screw). You will find the Le Creuset steel knobs here (knobs for iron and glass cocotte lids).
