Le Creuset Enameled Cast-Iron Mini Cocottes Review

Average Reviews:

The properties of cast iron make it the best little fondue pot and mini sauce/gravy boat. Just heat up cream and chocolate to make the ganache and the pot keeps it warm for a long time without a flame. That way you can carry it around the house. Or use on a stand and flame like a regular mini fondue pot. The cast iron distributes the heat evenly and helps prevent scorched chocolate/sauce.
Great for a romantic evening or when you just want a few bites and not chocolate fondue for 6. Also good for letting your guests flavour their own personal fondue while still being social.
I also use several of them as gravy boats on a long table or next to a particular dish if serving buffet style. Much better than poorly made insulated gravy boats that fall apart or trap food under the rim.
Cons: Not cheap & you have to buy more than one to make it really useful.

This miniature round cocotte ("cocotte" being the French word for Dutch oven) offers all the benefits of durable enameled cast iron in a compact, stylish design that's easily presented alongside a place setting at the table. Whether starting with an appetizer of warm spinach and artichoke dip or finishing a meal with small individual portions of fruit cobbler, the 1/3-quart mini cocotte, which measures 5-1/5 by 4 by 3-2/5 inches, offers exceptional versatility and convenient options for both preparation and serving.
Like other pieces in Le Creuset's line of enameled cast iron, the cookware's exterior features a colorful, long-lasting enamel that resists chipping and cracking, while its durable, nonreactive, nonporous, satin black interior enamel offers a smooth surface for cooking and baking. As cast iron is unexcelled for even heat distribution and superior heat retention, and enamel is impervious to acids and odors, the vessel cooks food uniformly and gently without hot spots and can be used for cooking on the stovetop or finishing in the oven. The cookware's cast-iron loop side handles ensure a secure grip during transport, and its tight-fitting lid with an easy-grip phenolic knob helps trap heat, moisture, and nutrients. The cookware can be safely used in the oven up to 350 degrees F and on any stovetop, including induction. Best of all, it moves gracefully from the oven to the table for serving to the refrigerator or freezer for storing leftovers. The cookware carries a lifetime limited warranty and should be hand washed for best results.
