Le Creuset Stoneware Petite Casserole

Pretty and versatile, we all agree on the same thing: the Le Creuset ceramic mini-cocottes are very functional pieces in the kitchen and on the table. Ideal for daily use, you can store spices, serve sauces, or prepare individual portions of your recipes.

You can cook in them in the oven baked eggs, savory pies, ratatouilles, clafoutis, meat pies, mini cakes, custards, soufflés, creams... Suitable for microwave and refrigerator use. They will give you lots of options!

Some uses for the mini-cocottes

A mini casserole made of ceramic can be used both for oven cooking and in the microwave, or as the perfect bowl for serving. Here are some ideas:

• Cook baked or microwaved eggs in about 3 minutes (yes, you have a solution for a first course or dinner in the blink of an eye).
• Use as a salt or sugar holder (Do you know how good marble looks in the kitchen?).
• Present delicious desserts (yogurt with sauce or jam, ice cream, custard with cookie, creme brulée, ...
• Use as an individual dish to serve creams, soups, risottos... All kinds of first courses.
• It is a perfect bowl to serve appetizers.

They are pieces that stand out on the table like no other, with their lid to keep warm for longer and... To surprise! Do you know the face guests make when they open that cute little lid?
