The Signature Cassadou in Shallot from Le Creuset was inspired by provençal hunters and the stews they created. Use this versatile cast iron cassadou as a deep sauté pan or a small Dutch oven, while frying, braising, or simmering. Made from cast iron for even heat distribution and superior heat retention, with a tight-fitting lid to help retain heat, moisture and flavor. The long handle is contoured for a secure grip, and the extended helper handle offers added control. The lid features a stainless steel knob.
Named after the allium fundamental to French cuisine, Shallot is a whisper of color between the palest shades of purple and pink. Le Creuset suggests pairing this delicate next-generation neutral with Oyster as you add to your collection. The exterior enamel resists chipping and cracking. The durable, nonreactive interior enamel promotes caramelization, resists staining, and prevents sticking to make cleanup easy.
