A grand piece of French culinary heritage
With its 41 cm length and 8 kg, this casserole is a true centerpiece: generous, family-oriented and especially suitable for large preparations, stews, braises, meats, poultry or shared dishes.
Enameled cast iron has an excellent capacity to accumulate and gradually release heat, allowing gentle and steady cooking. The enamel protects the iron, makes maintenance easier and also allows cooking and serving directly at the table.

Le Creuset, founded in 1925 in Fresnoy-le-Grand, in the Aisne, has over time become one of the world's major references in enameled cast iron. The company celebrated its centenary in 2025.

The Cousances brand, known for its old cast iron productions, joined Le Creuset’s history after being acquired by the house in the 1950s.

More than a simple kitchen utensil, this imposing casserole is a true object of transmission. Designed to last, it can accompany several generations, preserve family recipes and become a witness to shared meals and exceptional culinary memories.
