The Mini Round Cocotte is perfectly suited to preparing individual servings and serves many unique functions around the kitchen. Styled after Le Creuset's Round French Ovens featuring a three-ringed lid, this versatile piece of bakeware is carefully designed for individual preparation and presentation.  Built with durable stoneware, this iconic piece of bakeware is built to last and even doubles as a serving dish. The Mini Round Cocotte locks in heat and moisture with its tight-fitting lid, providing superior heat retention.  Ideal for preparing smaller portions, the Mini Round Cocotte is great to bake mini cookies, mini pot pies, and other small dishes. When it is not being used for individual servings, it can be used as a salt keeper, to hold mints or candles or even to decorate an empty section of countertop.
