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.
