Le Creuset Stoneware Set of 4 Mini Cocottes with Cookbook, 8 oz. each, Cerise

As part of Le Creuset's line of stoneware, the cocottes feature a hard-wearing, impermeable finish fired at temperatures as high as 2192 degrees F. With a porosity level of less than 1 percent, they block moisture absorption, which can lead to cracking, crazing, and rippling along the interior. Their non-porous construction also resists odors, scratching, and staining for hygienic use and optimal performance. Even more, their high-quality enamel protects against metal marks and other damage, which means they're safe to use with knives. Best of all, the glaze on the exterior makes the stoneware items fun to mix and match with other coordinating Le Creuset pieces (sold separately), while a neutral-colored glaze on the inside offers an optimal palette for food presentation. And thanks to an unmatched thermal resistance from -65 degrees F to 500 degrees F, Le Creuset stoneware moves effortlessly from the microwave or oven (or under the broiler) to the table for serving to the refrigerator or freezer for storing leftovers. When finished, it cleans up easily by hand or in the dishwasher.
