The scaled down mini carries the same characteristics as bigger brothers...right down tobaby spikes for keeping food moist. Desserts and 1 serving soups go well in these.
This a a smaller version of the dutch ovens I serve food in for dinner. this carries over and I often use it to serve warm appetizers, my favorite cooking and serving piece for my crab souffle appetizer, for 3-4 people, the crab is so rich no one eats more than a few scoops as an appetizer. If you serve it anything larger it just gets lost. This way it browns nicely on the top and presents with toast points perfectly.
I have a couple of these in the kitchen that I keep fresh herbs in after crushing them in my mortar and pestle. Perfect for storing so many things and keeps it fresh due to the tight-fitting lids.
I don't think this was designed to be a salt keeper but it sure makes a good one. Perfect size to sit next to the stove, the lid keeps the salt fresh and it looks so cute!
This mini cocotte is perfect to serve individual snacks, desserts and decorative in your kitchen when not in used. A pig or rooster knob is also an addition to its beauty.
