Le Creuset - Casserole dish - source, Enamel - Cousances

Red enameled cast oval cocotte with cream interior, made in France by Cousances, a historic manufacturer renowned for cast iron cookware, later integrated into Le Creuset.

This piece is distinguished by its generous silhouette, its two integrated side handles, and the matching lid with a Cousances-stamped knob. Its peculiarity lies notably in its red lid knob, a finish less common than the contrasting handles usually seen.

Enameled cast iron is particularly valued for its ability to absorb and evenly distribute heat. It is perfectly suited for slow-cooked dishes, braises, stews, and family meals, on a gas hob and in the oven, subject to usage recommendations appropriate for the model.
