Le Creuset Evolution Oval Cast Iron Cocotte 29 cm

The Le Creuset Oval Cocotte Evolution 29 cm is the enamelled cast iron cocotte of reference for those who cook with method and passion: 4.7-litre capacity, compatible with all hob types including induction, oven-safe to 260°C and Le Creuset lifetime warranty. The oval shape and integrated juice-circulation system in the lid make it the ideal choice for whole roasts, poultry, braises and long-cut fish.

Enamelled cast iron: why it makes a difference in cooking

Cast iron accumulates and releases heat uniformly and constantly, reducing energy consumption and allowing gentle cooking over moderate heat. The internal Sand-colour enamel — exclusive to Le Creuset — allows you to monitor browning with precision, preventing burning and facilitating visual control of cooking. Compared to a stainless steel pot, enamelled cast iron offers significantly superior heat retention, keeping food warm even with the hob turned off.

The Arrosage System: self-managing cooking

The lid of the Oval Cocotte Evolution features internal Système Arrosage spikes: they collect steam during cooking and continuously recirculate it over the ingredients, guaranteeing tender, flavourful meat and constant basting from its own juices. The result is that of traditional slow cooking — braise, pot-au-feu, whole poultry — with the precision and reproducibility demanded in professional kitchens.

Intended uses

The oval shape of the Oval Cocotte Evolution 29 cm is designed for long cuts of meat, whole poultry, whole fish and roasts that don't adapt well to a round cocotte. With 4.7 litres capacity it is suitable for preparations serving 4-6 people, and is an established presence both in high-end home kitchens and in the mise en place of restaurants and HoReCa establishments that focus on pot-service.

Lifetime warranty and generational durability

Le Creuset guarantees this cocotte for life: an investment that pays for itself over time and which, in the tradition of the brand founded in France in 1925, is passed down along with family recipes. Enamelled cast iron doesn't chip, doesn't rust and doesn't absorb odours, maintaining its characteristics unchanged over the years.
