Introducing the new Heart Cocotte! Perfect as a gift for someone special or a thoughtful accent at the table for romantic dinners for two! Since 1925, Le Creuset has been handcrafting Enameled Cast Iron cookware with very little change to the process, particularly Round French Ovens (or Dutch Ovens), in Northern France. This experience has made them industry leaders in cast iron cookware where many have imitated the Le Creuset product but never duplicated it. Through Superb heat retention, even the toughest cuts of meat will melt in your mouth! This hard enameled coating is stick-resistant making cleaning a breeze, no need for time-consuming cleaning or scrubbing. Functionality is the main aspect of this cast iron cookware but the beautiful design makes this the focal point of any kitchen or home!
