The Le Creuset Cocotte Every is a versatile 2-liter round cast iron saucepan designed to master the basics of rice cooking while offering the depth needed for a wide variety of culinary tasks. Its unique design features a round-curved bottom, a deep body, and a dome-shaped lid that maximizes heat convection for superior flavor development. The inclusion of a stoneware inner lid helps prevent boiling over, making it an essential tool for consistent results in the kitchen.
Advantages
The cast iron construction provides exceptional heat retention, ensuring even cooking and browning while keeping food warm at the table for longer. The light enamel interior simplifies the cleaning process, while the tight-fitting lid locks in moisture to enhance the flavor of your dishes. Large, ergonomic handles allow for safe and easy transport from the hob to the oven or table, even when wearing oven gloves. The heat-resistant knob is designed for a secure grip, and the vibrant red finish adds a stylish aesthetic to any kitchen environment.
Suitable for
- Cooking rice and grains

When it may not be suitable
This product may not be ideal for those who require a lightweight cooking vessel, as the cast iron construction makes it significantly heavier than aluminum or stainless steel alternatives. Additionally, it is not suitable for users who prefer the convenience of frequent high-heat searing without the need for gradual temperature control.

How to use
Before first use, remove all labels and packaging, then wash the product in warm, soapy water and dry thoroughly. When cooking, always use the most appropriately sized hob ring to ensure even heat distribution and prevent damage to the sides or handles. Start with a low to medium heat setting, allowing the cast iron to warm up gradually for the best results. If a higher temperature is required, reduce the heat once the desired level is reached. Always lift the pan when moving it across glass-top stoves to avoid scratching the surface.
What to consider before purchase
- Ensure your stovetop size matches the base of the pan for optimal induction performance.
- Consider the weight of the cast iron material for daily handling.
- Check if your preferred cleaning method aligns with the care instructions for the enamel finish.
Usage recommendations
Always use oven gloves when handling the hot pan. We recommend using silicone, wooden, or heat-resistant plastic tools to protect the enamel surface. Allow the product to cool completely before cleaning, and soak in warm, soapy water to remove stubborn food residue instead of using abrasive pads.
