The dutch oven, also known as a cocotte, features a round bottom that facilitates effortless stirring without sticking. The domed lid is specially designed to retain moisture by returning flavorful vapors. The lid can be used either in the oven or on the stovetop and can be removed to finish cooking. Generously large and deep, the dutch oven can be used for braising, stewing, browning and slow cooking, all in the same vessel, making it an excellent choice for one-pot meals..About Us: For over 50 years, All-Clad has been crafting premium cookware in Canonsburg, Pennsylvania—the heart of America’s steel and aluminum industry.
