This 2.75-quart round cocotte is constructed from enameled cast iron to provide consistent heat distribution. A matte black interior finish enhances the browning of meats and vegetables, while the heavy tight-fitting lid features internal spikes that continuously redirect condensed juices back into the dish. The smooth enamel base is safe for all stovetops, including induction, and the cookware withstands oven temperatures up to 900°F.
