Key Features

Not every meal needs a big Dutch oven. The 0.5 L is handy for roasting garlic, warming dips and baking individual desserts. The 1.4 L is a good size for soup for two, small side dishes and mini sourdough loaves.

Both sizes are made from enamelled cast iron, with a fitted lid that helps keep moisture in while cooking. The enamel interior is easy to clean and doesn't need seasoning.

And with its owl-shaped lid and wing handles, this is one mini casserole you might actually want to leave out on the kitchen bench.

Features

  • Enamelled cast iron for hob and oven cooking.
  • Easy-clean enamel interior with no seasoning required.
  • Fitted cast iron lid helps retain moisture during cooking.
  • Wing-shaped side handles for lifting and carrying with oven mitts.

Materials & Finish

Simple Materials, No Synthetic Non-Stick Coatings

Our enamelled cast iron cookware has a glass-based enamel finish fused to the cast iron.

The enamel creates a smooth, non-reactive cooking surface that requires no seasoning. It can be used with acidic ingredients such as tomatoes and wine, without the maintenance needed for bare cast iron.

What You're Cooking With

✓ Solid cast iron construction
✓ Glass-based enamel coating
✓ No synthetic non-stick coating
✓ No seasoning required

Use & Care

Oven Safe up to 260°C

Suitable for baking, roasting and other oven cooking up to 260°C.

Suitable for All Common Hob Types

Can be used on gas, electric, ceramic and induction hobs. Always heat gradually and use low to medium heat for most cooking.

No Seasoning Required

The enamelled interior does not require seasoning. Wooden, silicone or nylon utensils are recommended to help protect the cooking surface.

Avoid Sudden Temperature Changes

Do not place a hot casserole into cold water or move it directly from the refrigerator into a very hot oven.

Use Oven Mitts

The pot, lid and handles become hot during cooking. Always use dry oven mitts when handling hot cookware.

Hand Wash Recommended

Allow the casserole to cool before washing. Clean with warm, soapy water and a soft sponge or non-abrasive brush. Avoid harsh scouring pads and abrasive cleaners.

Not Microwave Safe

Cast iron cookware must not be used in a microwave oven.

  • Three decorative enameled lidded pots with gold bird-shaped handles are arranged on a white marble kitchen counter in a dining room setting. The pots are in navy blue, white, and glossy black, with matching enamel cast iron bird-shaped lids and gold finials.

    A Pot You'll Want to Leave Out

    The owl-shaped lid, wing handles and glossy enamel finish make this a little casserole that looks just as good on your kitchen bench as it does on the table.

  • A white cast iron owl-shaped pot with a matching lid sits on a lit gas stove burner in a kitchen setting.

    Just Right for Smaller Meals

    The 0.5 L is great for individual bakes, warm dips and roasted garlic. Choose the 1.4 L for soup, rice, sides and other small-batch recipes.

  • Easy to Clean, Easy to Care For

    The enamel interior makes cleaning up easier, even after cooking soups and baked dishes. There's no seasoning to maintain—just wash with warm, soapy water and a soft sponge.

Beautiful little pots!

I have the .5, 1.5, and now the 3qt. I found the first two on amazon, they didn't have the 3qt so I went looking and came upon them here. I am disappointed that the blue three quart shows the gold top but was sent without that feature. I wanted them to match. I wo.t bother returning it, but you need to be aware you maynot get what is shown.

Made a nice pot of chicken soup in this and the capacity is just right for minimal leftovers. Finish is very good.

Absolutely Fantastic Quality & The Owl Design Is So Incredibly Unique!

I'm in love with this Enameled Cast Iron Dutch Oven, bought the 1.5qt and had to have the size with the gold top handle, looks great with the black. I really wish the 3qt size had a gold top handle but it doesn't. The overall design of these dutches is like no other, I've never in my lifetime seen an owl shaped cast iron dutch oven....and I've worked in specialty stores, like Crate & Barrel, I also work in a professional kitchen... so when I saw this and had to buy it!The overall build quality and finish is top notch, feels professional, there's no chipping, its heavy, she's thick and love that the lid handle screw is sealed into the bottom of the lid, no rusting and less gaps to trap food debris. Thought if someone ever needed to replace the handle or it broke off, that would be a big problem, can't repair or replace knob. Anyways, I always take good care of my cookware but accidents do happen, so... just buy 2... just in case!I was so sad that the 1.5qt green option was sold out, but very happy with the black glossy and sleek look. Size is perfect to make some tomato soup for two or.... to make some gravy for the holidays. Though you could make a small sourdough loaf or prepare a side of veggies for a nice meal. Possibilitys are endless with this very manageable size, it's not too big yet not too small, it's almost too perfect!Will be buying all the sizes available to match, the price is so phenomenal, you just can't beat it!

greatest looking pot and functional

This pot is just adorable, The craftsmanship and quality is excellent. The color yellow is richly pigmented and bright, came in perfect and flawless. My wife likes to use oil on the insides to help out before loading. It is already easy to clean but with the oil makes cleaning a breeze. This pot is becoming the most used pot in the kitchen. We don't store the pot with other pots for fear of chipping but it is so attractive and whimsical that it looks great on the counter. Also she does not wash it immediately when it is hot to avoid any possible crack in the enamel. We are considering getting a second one.

Cute!

This is possibly the cutest the thing I've ever seen. I got the green one. Love the color. It is solid! Nicely weighted. The size says 16 oz. I think it would be great to make little loaves of bread, individual soups, lava cakes...the list goes on. I think I might get another color and use them as salt and pepper cellars by my cooktop just to have them on display the whole. So stinkin' cute!

Too Adorable and Very Useful!

I wanted something in which to cook leftover soup, which has a lid to prevent splatters. I bought four of these enameled cast-iron cocottes because the price was unbelievably inexpensive for this type of product. We have been exceptionally happy with all four, using them to reheat leftover soup on an induction burner. Soup heats up so quickly, we have no desire to use the microwave. I consider the quality outstanding, and they are soooo cute. I certainly can recommend them for induction cooking. They are oven-safe, too. The wing handles make them easy to lift. As noted by others, the wings get hot, too, so use hotpads. They would make great gifts. I highly recommend these charming cocottes.

I love this little guy!

Beautiful heavy cast iron and enamel owl! I roast my garlic cloves in it then freeze for later use. Holds about 3 cups whole cloves. Lid is tight fitting holds in the steam well.. handle is well made and is gold in appearance. Wings are the handles and they slightly curve downward so its easy to grab them even with thick oven mitts which is a rare thing in similar products!! would totally buy this again.. might have to get one for my daughter for christmas!

Frequently asked questions

  • What can I cook in the Owl Casserole?

    The Owl Casserole is designed for small-batch cooking, baking and serving.

    The 0.5 L size works well for individual portions, baked eggs, warm dips and desserts. The 1.4 L size is better suited to soups, rice, vegetables and smaller meals.

    Both sizes can be used in the oven or on a suitable hob.

  • Does the enamelled interior need seasoning?

    No. The enamel coating protects the cast iron cooking surface, so it does not require seasoning.

    Simply wash the pot after use and dry it thoroughly before storing.

  • Can I use it on an induction hob?

    Yes. The Owl Casserole is compatible with induction, gas, electric and ceramic hobs.

    For the smaller 0.5 L size, check that the base is suitable for your induction hob's minimum pan diameter.

  • Can I bake bread in it?

    You can use it for small bread recipes, but both sizes are much smaller than a standard bread Dutch oven.

    For regular-sized sourdough loaves, we recommend our Round or Oval Bread Oven instead.

  • Can it go in the dishwasher?

    We recommend washing by hand to help preserve the enamel finish.

    Use warm, soapy water and a soft sponge. Avoid abrasive cleaning products.

  • How hot can the casserole get?

    The Owl Casserole is oven safe up to 260°C.

    Always use oven mitts when handling the pot or lid, as the cast iron becomes very hot during cooking.

  • Is it made from real cast iron?

    Yes. Both sizes are made from solid cast iron with an enamel finish.

    Unlike ceramic or stoneware mini casseroles, these are genuine cast iron cooking pots.
