cocotte

pot for cooking and serving

Cocotte kazolak

Something cooked en cocotte is stewed in a heavy heatproof pot called a cocotte or marmite and served in the same pot. The cute word apparently comes from the crow of the French coq, cocorico!

A cocotte-minute is a pressure cooker.

A multicuiseur or cocotte-minute électrique is a crock pot.
