Oval Cocotte cooking pot, ceramic, 36.5 × 24.2 cm/4.5L, "Delight", Sienna – Emile Henry

One stewpot pot that does it all! It seems impossible, but this is the only way to describe this Cocotte stewpot - performant and ideal for slow cooking. With the help of this stewpot, you can cook your favourite recipes in servings as big as you want, but within the limit of 4.5 l. Its dimensions of 36.5 × 24.2 × 19.2 cm (length x diameter x height) allow you to "create" enough to give a few generous servings to whomever you want!   

"Simply delightful" is the slogan of the "Delight" collection of the French brand Emile Henry. This collection presents to lovers of traditional cooking a series of Cocotte and tajine cookware made from high quality ceramic by using special and modern technologies, which perfectly fit any cooking style and can be used to prepare various recipes.

With cookware in this range you can meet all the expectations that even the most demanding chefs have from the ceramic cookware, but you can exceed even the limits applicable to regular cookware, made of the same material.

This new type of enhanced ceramic obtained through the "state-of-the-art" technology can offer advantages achievable so far in the art of cooking by using completely different materials, such as cast iron.

Although it brings along a multitude of advantages, this type of ceramic is much lighter so that the cookware can be handled swifter by cooks with or without experience.

Performance

• State-of-the-art ceramics
• Compatible with all types of hobs, including induction hobs
• Equally distributes heat, being ideal for simmering
• The aromatic steam circulation process keeps the food tender and juicy
• Base with smooth enamelled surface and metal insert for the induction hob

Practical

• Scratch-resistant layer that allows the use of metal utensils on the surface of the stewpot

Convenient

• Dome-shaped lid for preparing large pieces of meat
• Double set of handles for easy handling

The reactivity and heat retention are two other additional advantages brought by these innovative cookwares and allow many cooking styles, from browning to sauté dishes. Once placed on flame, the cookware gets hot in the blink of an eye, and the heat is distributed evenly. Temperature decreases rapidly once the heat source has been turned off, but the cookware keeps the foods warm inside during their serving.

Their incredible resistance to heat allows that their transition from high to low temperatures to be safe, without damaging the dish.

The matte brown enamel which coats the ceramic not only gives it an elegant appearance, but is also extremely useful, successfully resisting the potential scratches that could occur after using metal utensils on the surface of cookware, coated with sensitive material such as ceramic.

The lids of Cocotte cookware are provided with protrusions that help a good circulation of vapours resulting from the evaporation of juices resulting from cooking of juicy foods. The lids also provide a perfect closure, without letting the steam come out, so that the food remain soft, juicy and full of flavour.

The "Delight" range products can be used on any type of hob, even induction hobs, both in the traditional oven and in the microwave, and the results will be the same every time… close to perfection!

"Traditional, yet modern" and "classic, yet elegant" are the perfect pairs of antonyms to describe the design and usefulness of cookware from the "Delight" range.
