Le Creuset Evolution Cast Iron Cocotte 20 cm

Le Creuset Cocotte Evolution 20 cm in Enamelled Cast Iron: The French Classic for Perfect Cooking

The Le Creuset Evolution Cocotte from 20 cm is the enamelled cast iron casserole produced in France that for nearly a century has won over cooks and chefs from around the world. With a capacity of 2.4 L and complete compatibility with all heat sources — gas, electric, vitroceramic, induction and oven (including grill mode) — it is the inseparable ally for stews, roasts, soups, casseroles and slow cooking of great character.

Enamelled Cast Iron: Uniform Heat, Concentrated Flavours

Le Creuset enamelled cast iron accumulates and distributes heat in an exceptionally uniform manner, allowing you to brown and cook over low or medium heat without cold spots. The lid retains the steam generated during cooking, concentrates juices and amplifies flavours: the result is a succulent dish, served directly to the table in its container that maintains temperature for a long time.

The internal enamelled layer — in addition to facilitating cleaning — requires no seasoning and does not absorb odours or flavours, guaranteeing constant organoleptic neutrality and hygiene over time.

Instructions for Care and Maintenance

Before First Use

• Remove all labels and packaging.
• Wash with warm water and neutral soap, rinse and dry thoroughly.

During Cooking

• Always use oven gloves when handling the hot cocotte.
• Use exclusively Le Creuset silicone, wood or heat-resistant plastic utensils. DO NOT use metal knives or utensils to avoid scratching the enamelled surface.
• Match the cocotte to the stovetop ring of the appropriate size for uniform heat distribution (particularly important on induction hobs).
• Low or medium heat cooking guarantees the best results: heat gradually for excellent flavours and uniform cooking.
• Do not slide the cocotte on glass surfaces: always lift it to move it.

Cleaning

• Allow to cool completely before washing.
• For stubborn residues, soak in warm soapy water for 15–20 minutes.
• Do not use aggressive detergents, abrasive sponges or metal brushes.
• Dry thoroughly and store in a dry place.
• Casserole: Dishwasher safe (frequent use may opacify the enamelled finish; hand washing is recommended to preserve brilliance over time).
• Lid: Stainless steel and phenolic knobs are dishwasher safe. Gold, iridescent, copper and black nickel knobs must be hand washed.
