Enameled Cast Iron Dutch Oven - Meringue Grey

This elegant and high-performance enameled cast iron casserole dish in Meringue Grey is designed for lovers of traditional and generous cooking. Its 30 cm size (with a 3.8 liter capacity) is ideal for preparing delicious meals to share with family or friends, serving 4 to 6 people .

The exterior boasts a glossy, light gray gradient finish , a signature Mamie Cocottes design, while the interior is coated with a special light beige enamel that is both non-stick and easy to clean. This casserole dish is as practical as it is beautiful, with its two ergonomic handles in matching enameled cast iron and its cast iron lid equipped with a stainless steel knob that is oven-safe up to 250°C.

The lid with its raised dots plays a key role in the success of your dishes. By creating a continuous , natural self-basting effect , it allows steam to condense and then drip back down onto your food. The result: more tender meats, richer sauces, concentrated flavors … and less need for monitoring ! Perfect for simmering a dish for several hours without having to constantly open it.

This casserole dish is designed for slow and even cooking . It's ideal for stews (like beef bourguignon or curry), braised vegetables , family-style stir-fries , combination cooking methods (searing then simmering), or even oven-baked dishes like gratins or roasts. It will quickly become the centerpiece of your everyday cooking.

Unlike traditional Dutch ovens, our enameled cast iron model offers even heat distribution , ideal for preventing burnt spots or uneven cooking. It also ensures excellent heat retention , keeping your dish warm longer , even off the heat. Thanks to the Maillard reaction optimized by cast iron, your meats are seared to perfection : crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside. This material also reduces energy consumption , requiring less heat for perfect results.

And that's not all: this Mamie Cocottes casserole dish is also compatible with all hobs , including induction , and can go directly in the oven. A true champion of versatility .

As for maintenance, the enameled interior surface makes cleaning easy. A quick rinse with hot water is all it takes for most cooking. For stickier foods, a quick soak in soapy water will do the trick. And most importantly: don't remove the natural patina that develops over time – it's what gives your dishes their unique flavor, improves cooking, and prevents food from sticking.

Durable for decades, this casserole dish also makes an excellent gift for a wedding, birthday, or housewarming. It's also included in our 7-piece Mamie Cocottes set , perfect for a fully coordinated and functional kitchen, offering great value for money.
