The Round French Oven is perfect for slow cooking and simmering - and great for soups and stews! This is your perfect cooking pot to create your winter warming dishes. It's also ideal for searing meat on the stove top before putting in the oven to complete the cooking process. Its heavy lid with unique concentric rings create a self-basting effect that keeps your food tender and moist while retaining the flavour. A 26cm cocotte would typically serve 6 people. This product is made in France. It provides all the benefits of cooking with cast-iron including compatibility with use of induction and other cook tops.
