Heirloom quality meets autumnal charm with Le Creuset's Pumpkin Cocotte, perfectly sized for big batches of soup or stew, roasts, braises and more. The tapered base heats faster, and the tall sides prevent splatter, which is ideal for baking round loaves of bread with a delectably crisp crust. A tight-fitting lid seals in heat and moisture, ensuring that your dishes baste steadily in their own juices for moist, delicious results. This cocotte is the product of time-honored casting techniques and rigorous hand finishing at Le Creuset's foundry in northern France.
