Enameled cast iron Dutch oven - Purple Plum

This Violet Prune enamelled cast iron casserole dish , both elegant and high-performance, is designed for lovers of traditional and generous cuisine. Its 30 cm format (for a capacity of 3.8 litres ) is ideal for preparing delicious dishes to share with family or friends, from 4 to 6 people .

The exterior features a glossy, gradient purple finish , designed by Mamie Cocottes , while the interior is coated in a special light beige cooking enamel , which is both non-stick and easy to maintain. This casserole dish is as practical as it is beautiful, with its two ergonomic handles in matching enamelled cast iron and its cast iron lid equipped with an oven-resistant stainless steel knob .

The spiked lid plays a key role in the success of your dishes. By creating a continuous natural basting , it allows the steam to condense and then fall back in fine droplets onto your food. The result: more tender meats, richer sauces, concentrated aromas ... and less need for supervision ! Perfect for letting a dish simmer for several hours without worrying about constantly opening it.

This pot is designed for slow and even cooking . It is ideal for slow-cooked dishes (such as beef bourguignon or curry), braised vegetables , family-style stir-fries , combination cooking (searing then simmering), or even oven dishes such as a gratin or a roast. It will quickly become the central element of your everyday cooking.

Unlike traditional Dutch ovens, our enameled cast iron model offers even heat distribution , ideal for avoiding burnt areas or uneven cooking. It also ensures excellent heat retention , keeping your dish hot for 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 a perfect result.

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

In terms of maintenance, the enameled interior surface makes cleaning easy. A hot water rinse is all it takes for most cooking tasks. For stickier foods, a quick soak in soapy water is all it takes. And most importantly, don't remove the natural patina that forms over time—it's what gives your dishes their unique flavor, improves cooking, and prevents food from sticking.

Durable for decades, this Dutch oven is also a great gift idea 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, with better value for money.
