What is a Petite Casserole?
These individual petite baking dishes are made of premium Stoneware. The 10cm Petite Casserole (or Mini Cocotte) is built to be as durable and versatile as all our cookware and is a dish you can bake with. The stylish Petite Casseroles may look familiar as they have been designed to resemble our iconic Cast Iron Round Casseroles.
What is a Petite Casserole Used For?
Le Creuset Petite Casseroles have various useful features making them perfect for individual portions of virtually any recipe. Whether you're starting your feast with oven-to-table French onion soup or finishing it off with a mini no-bake cheesecake dessert, the Petite Casserole is ideal. In addition to being oven and microwave-safe, the snug-fitting lid seals in moisture, flavour and heat. Like all our durable Stoneware, these mini pots are freezer-safe up to -23°C. You could also use the Petite Casserole as a salt keeper, mint holder, candle holder or a stylish feature on your countertop.
