The traditional petite stockpot is the perfect size for making sauces, casseroles, and stews, or for cooking smaller amounts of pasta, rice, and grains. The ideal accompaniment to Le Creuset’s larger-sized stockpots, it’s crafted from premium carbon steel and finished in our palette of iconic colors. Lightweight and durable, carbon steel rapidly brings water to a boil to speed up prep and cooking and retains heat to keep food and liquids warm. The easy-to-clean colorful porcelain enamel coating is non-reactive and resistant to stains and flavors, making it ideal for everyday use.
