The Le Creuset Fruit Cocotte pots are a series of stoneware kitchen solutions from the brand that break away from its traditional aesthetics to embrace a decidedly whimsical profile. The product range consists of miniature cocotte cooking pots shaped like summertime fruits to help capture the attention of chefs, but also consumers looking to incorporate a playful touch to their kitchen decor. The product range includes the Peach Cocotte, Blueberry Cocotte and the Strawberry Cocotte, which are each rated as thermo-resistant from -23-degrees to 260-degrees Celsius to accommodate any recipe.
The Le Creuset Fruit Cocotte pots vary slightly in size but each offer roughly half a liter of capacity, depending on the version. The stoneware range is priced at $55 per style to make the items one of the most affordable options from the high-end kitchenwares brand.
