Simple, inviting design and superior craftsmanship backed by centuries of experience distinguish Revol's Belle Cuisine cookware for discerning home chefs. Created using top-quality lead- and cadmium-free French porcelain, each piece is fired at 2,408 degrees F to produce a vessel that is nonreactive, nonporous, and stain-, chip- and thermal shock-resistant. Of course, natural porcelain is a longtime favorite for cooking and baking because it heats food thoroughly without hot or cold spots, then keeps it warm long after it leaves the oven. Early in its history, the Revol family developed a formula to use colored enamel--a major leap in ceramics--and color been closely linked with fine porcelain ever since. The bold Eclipse series showcases two striking color options: deep red and black or slate grey and black. This versatile 1.1-quart cocotte can turn out small-batch chili, a family dinner side dish, or a party's worth of crab dip with equal perfection. Featuring a graceful oval shape and deep, straight sides, the pot also offers sturdy single-block handles for transporting and a snug-fitting lid to seal in flavors and nutrients. Like the rest of the Belle Cuisine Eclipse collection, the cocotte goes safely into the freezer, oven, microwave, and dishwasher, so it's as easy to use as it is handsome to serve in. It measures 7 inches long by 6-1/4 inches wide by 4-1/4 inches deep. Made in France. --Kara Karll
