Braisers 3.5 L Cast Iron Round Heritage Braiser/Sauté Pan

Love this Dutch oven. Very high quality and found the best price at AllModern. The item was packed securely and arrived in perfect condition. Very easy to clean and withstands high temperatures, perfect for bread making!

This Cocotte is so great! I use this one everyday!!! So CUTE!

I purchased a 13.5 quart cocotte in dark blue. The glaze is simply gorgeous! It is a deep, true cobalt blue. It is not a royal or mid-tone blue as some of the online pictures suggest. Functionally, this pot is quite large. Its base perfectly covers a 13" burner. It is deep and spacious enough to cook a large roasting chicken or small turkey. Big batches of chowder or stew --enough to serve a crowd-- can be made in this wonderful pot. I highly recommend it to anyone who (1) loves cooking with cast iron, (2) loves eating food cooked in cast iron, (3) has an appreciation for one-of-a-kind craftsmanship (such as hand glazed thrown pottery), and (4) is able to lift, maintain, and store a very heavy large pot. I would not recommend the cocotte for 'quick and easy' high heat cooking. It is better suited to slow cooked, 'simmer all day' recipes.

I just used this yesterday and as I was washing it, noticed the underside said 4 quarts. The product I purchased says 5.5 qt. I don't know why they would charge for something that is 5.5 qt.

Less expensive than Le Creuset and even nicer - great color too!
