These are stoneware, not enameled cast iron,

This review is from: Le Creuset Mini Cocotte Sets (Kitchen)
I was expecting these to be a set of the Le Creuset mini-cocottes that are sold individually by Amazon (and Williams-Sonoma, Sur la table, etc.), but that's not what they are. Those are made of the usual Le Creuset enameled cast iron...this set is made of stoneware, just pottery.
It didn't say in the product description that these were stoneware, and I assumed they were cast-iron because their other mini-cocottes are cast-iron. That said, I probably should have guessed based on the price. I thought I was getting a deal with 4 cast-iron ones for $80; not such a deal when they're light-weight pottery instead.
Anyway, I may still keep them; haven't decided. They're very cute and I'm sure they'll bake well, but I think they're probably overpriced.

i got these at sur la table in charlotte, nc... before they even hit the floor. they come in a great little box for storage and include a recipe book... haven't tried a recipe in it yet, but it looks pretty good from the start. my only complaint is that you can tell the recipe book is translated from french. they opted to stress style in the layout, so they don't always give explicit instructions and assume you know how to cook. I do, and I think anyone who'd spend 20 bucks per mini cocotte would, too.
they're not a must-have kitchen item... but they sure will leave an impression on dinner guests.

This review is from: Le Creuset Set of 4 Mini Cocottes with Cookbook, Flame (Kitchen)
These gorgeous little cocottes are so stunning when being served to guests.
I have made many entrees and deserts in them and they always turn out perfectly. Scallops Mornay is my favourite. The size is perfect for these dishes, but maybe could be larger for a soup. (You need to buy the 12 ounce ones)
I knew that they were not cast iron and I don't think they are hard to confuse with other products.
The cook book is beautiful and full of great recipes.
I absolutely recommend these lovely dishes.
