What can you do in a Le Creuset Cocotte?

Everything! The round cast iron cocottes are versatile! Le Creuset cocottes are suitable for the stove (including induction) as well as the oven (or barbecue or fireplace if you prefer). And you can make:

1. Stews and Braises: They are ideal for slow-cooked dishes such as stews, braises, and soups. Cast iron distributes heat evenly, cooking ingredients slowly and enhancing their flavors.
2. Roasts: From roast chicken to larger meats like lamb or pork, cocottes are perfect for roasting. They retain moisture and caramelize ingredients for juicy, flavorful results.
3. Slow-cooked Meats: Prepare slow-cooked meat dishes like ragù, shredded meat, or even ribs. The constant, gentle heat ensures tender, flavorful meat.
4. Creams and Soups: set them on the stove and let them simmer for hours. Pasta: they are tall pots with capacity, you can boil all types of pasta in them. And if you want to gratin the pasta in the oven at the end, you can do so.
5. Legumes and Vegetables: whether you want to boil or stew them, you can prepare spoon dishes and plates filled with vitamins, iron, and health.
6. Rice: from simply boiling it to making risottos or rice dishes your way. All types of legumes and vegetables: from boiling to preparing your stews.
7. Fish: stewed or roasted, they turn out fabulous.
8. Pasta Dishes: From lasagna to macaroni and cheese, cocottes are perfect for baked pasta dishes. They allow for even cooking and retain heat to keep dishes warm.
   
9. Vegetarian Dishes: Cook steamed vegetables (by inserting a steamer), gratins, or sautéed dishes. Cocottes preserve nutrients and enhance the natural flavors of vegetables.
10. Breads and Cakes: The heat retention makes cocottes ideal for baking bread, rolls, and cakes. The lid creates a humid environment that favors the formation of a crispy crust and a soft crumb (in fact, because it retains the moisture of the dough inside the cocotte, you don't need to humidify the oven as with other methods of making bread).
11. Sauces and Reductions: The even heat distribution helps create perfect sauces and reductions. From pasta sauces to glazes for meats, cocottes are excellent for slow cooking.
12. Hot Drinks, Jams, and many other desserts: with a cocotte, you have a surface that distributes heat efficiently from the base to the sides while offering great capacity, in width and height. So they are ideal for cooking everything from hot drinks and punches to jams, rice pudding, creams, and other desserts and preparations you can imagine.

These are just a few examples, but the versatility of cocottes allows you to explore a wide range of recipes and cooking styles. You can experiment and adapt recipes to your taste!

What distinguishes Le Creuset cocottes

• Made from enameled cast iron, cocottes are suitable for all types of heat sources (including induction), the oven, and they can even be frozen and washed in the dishwasher.
• Their soft satin finish makes them shine in both the kitchen and on the table.
• Le Creuset casseroles and cocottes are especially suitable for slow cooking over low heat to achieve the most tender and flavorful meats.
• Free from nonstick coatings, they are pieces that offer 100% natural cooking of food.
• No other material conducts heat like iron. So they heat up from the base, and the heat rises along the sides (and the lid!), heating the entire preparation and food all around, offering faster, more uniform and efficient cooking.
• With a lifetime guarantee.
