Overview

A cook who braises and serves from the same pot gets an enameled cast iron cocotte with a drop structure on the lid underside. Moisture condenses and falls back over the food, and the pot works in the oven and on all types of cookers.

Cast iron retains temperature for a long time, so food stays warm or cold at the table, and the enamel interior is acid resistant and taste neutral. Handles are shaped for a firm grip and the knob handles oven heat. It is heavy, and the included components entry is garbled.

Who it's for

Households who braise, slow cook and serve at the table will use the heat storage and the color. Cooks with limited strength, or those short on shelf room, should consider a lighter pot.

Performance notes

Cast iron stores heat and gives it back slowly, which is why the pot holds food at serving temperature. The lid underside has a drop structure that collects steam and returns it over the food, which is what the maker credits for a tender result. The enamel resists acids and does not take on flavors.
