Spotted this Chasseur mini cocotte set in the sale section for less than $20 from browsing the site because of the free shipping deal. They have a ridiculous RRP of over $100 but when on sale, prices hover around the $45 mark, so less than $20 now is a bargain. Only the blue ones are at this price - the other colours are still $69.95.
These hold 300ml each and are oven safe to 250 degrees, microwave, dishwasher and freezer safe. They are stoneware, "double coated inside and out with non-reactive enamel, the surfaces are easy to de-glaze and clean". I can think of using them for making individual servings of things like onion soup (with grilled cheese and toast on top), baked eggs for breakfast, individual pot pies, creme brulee, souffles etc. You can also use them to store dips and salsas. They would be handy for serving multiple people at dinner parties, and make a nice gift for home cooks too. Check out the customer reviews.
Note that though the brand is French, this particular product is made in China. For $3.33 each I'm not going to complain…
got one! thanks
