How to Use the Cocotte Every
If you regularly cook grains in your kitchen, you will find yourself reaching for our rice pot, the Cocotte Every, almost daily. It's easy to use with nearly foolproof results. This pot's superior design and versatility will make it a household favourite, and not only for grains – in fact, the Cocotte Every can be used for so much more than rice, including a variety of your favourite dishes! Find out more about this multi-functional pot below, including its key features and how to use it.
Why Choose the Cocotte Every
Our Cocotte Every was designed with the ideal shape, size and features to produce a perfectly cooked pot of rice every time. Tall curved sides promote convection and moisture circulation, while the consistent heat from the enamelled cast iron construction means there is uniform moisture distribution to fluff each and every grain. The stoneware inner lid prevents the foamy boil-over that can occur when cooking grains in a regular pot. The Matte Black enamelled interior also requires no pre-seasoning and is easy-to-clean. Furthermore, you can enjoy the benefits of passive cooking with this convenient piece – heat pasta or grains initially on the hob, cover with the lid, and allow to continue cooking off the hob with the residual heat.
Perfect Rice: Step-by-Step
Simply follow the steps below to see how easy it is to make fluffy, evenly cooked rice every time.
Step 1
Rinse rice thoroughly.
Step 2
Add rice to the Cocotte Every along with water and seasoning.
Step 3
Heat the liquid to a slow boil. Turn down to a simmer, cover with the lid and cook undisturbed for 15-20 minutes depending on the grain.
Step 4
Let the rice steam off the heat for 10 minutes then serve.
One Pot, Many Uses: Master More Techniques
Although the Cocotte Every was designed to produce the fluffiest and most evenly cooked rice, it can be used for much more than that. This unique shape is suitable for other dishes traditionally prepared in cast iron cookware – from making a soup for two or baking to even deep frying. The pot is oven-safe as well: you can bake in the pot, keep dishes warm and even reheat leftovers. Here are some ideas to get you started.
Bake
Use the Cocotte Every to prepare a delicious small loaf of sweet or savoury bread. The black satin finish interior will produce golden brown sides and a tender crumb.
Fry
Tall sides make it a great vessel for deep frying, keeping splatter to a minimum. Fry any ingredient like tempura shrimp or even a small batch of fries when the craving hits!
Stew
The 2 L capacity is ideal for preparing a small soup or stew on a cold day. High sides and a deep interior make it particularly suited for pureeing soups using an immersion blender.
Steam
Steam quickly and efficiently using the stoneware insert. This technique is great for mussels – serve them directly in the colourful pot to keep them hot while eating.
