Overview
A home cook who wants Moroccan-style braises gets a cast iron base here under a conical lid designed to circulate steam. The Le Creuset cookware is enameled and comes in cobalt.
The cone lid moistens and tenderizes meat, while the cast iron base holds heat longer and cooks food evenly. It can brown on the stove before steaming and then go to the oven or the broiler. The lid is called cast iron in the specs and stoneware in the description.
Who it's for
Home cooks exploring North African braises who also want a table-worthy serving piece. People who want machine washing, or a pot that stores in a small cabinet, should look at a more compact style.
Pros and cons
- Cone lid circulates steam
- Cast iron retains heat

Performance notes
Steam collects in the cone and drips back onto the food, moistening it and tenderizing tougher cuts of meat. The low-profile cast iron base spreads heat evenly and stores it, so the dish stays warm into service. Browning vegetables or meat in the base before steaming is possible on any stovetop.
