Specialty Shaped Cast Iron 6.25-qt Shallow Oval Dutch Oven-Black

The cocotte/Dutch oven is unsurpassed for slow-cooking meat and vegetables to tender perfection, and for simmering hearty stews and soups. Boasting a wider profile with shorter sides than our traditional Dutch oven, it's ideal for braising large cuts of meat, frying chicken, and cooking a hearty chili. The wider base means sauces can be reduced in less time.

Cast iron possesses exceptional heat-retention qualities, so the pot heats evenly throughout. With a heavy weight, tight-fitting lid that locks in moisture and tiny bumps on the lid interior that create a rain-forest effect evenly returning juices back onto food, you can expect flavorful, perfectly cooked food every time you use this pot.

Rooted in French culinary heritage, cookware is beloved by professional and home chefs for its exquisite craftsmanship, exceptional performance, and timeless beauty. Each cocotte effortlessly and elegantly transitions from the oven to the table - you can cook and serve in the same dish. Built to last a lifetime, these heirloom pieces are designed to be passed from generation to generation. Made in France Heavy weight, tight-fitting lid retains moisture, spikes on the lid create a rain-forest effect evenly returning juices back onto food Oven safe up to 900F/482C without lid, Lids are oven safe up to 500F/260C Brass knob Smooth enamel bottom works on all stovetops, including gas, electric, glass, ceramic, induction, and halogen.
