The durable enamel coating resists staining and eliminates the need for seasoning, while the multicolor finish allows direct oven-to-table presentation.

How to use

Preheat the oven or stovetop to the required temperature before placing the mini cocotte inside. Use low to medium heat on direct heat sources to avoid thermal shock and protect the enamel finish. For baking, place the cocotte on a rack or baking tray. Add ingredients and cover with the lid to maintain moisture during slow cooking or baking. After cooking, transfer the cocotte directly to the table for serving; allow brief cooling before handling and use protective mitts as the cast iron retains heat.

Usage recommendations

Clean with warm water and a soft sponge; avoid strong abrasives that could dull the enamel. To remove stubborn residues, soak in warm water before cleaning. Avoid rapid temperature changes, such as rinsing a hot cocotte with cold water. Use wooden, silicone or heat-resistant nylon utensils to protect the enamel surface. Suitable for everyday use in home kitchens and for professional presentation of individual portions.
