Moreover, these dutch ovens are made of easy-to-clean porcelain enamel, and they’re pretty versatile in terms of functions. Whether it’s baking a loaf of bread or cooking up a hearty stew, these ovens will not easily let you down.

The hyper-realistic contouring and finish of this cocotte might just fool you into thinking it’s an actual pumpkin. Other than the fact that it caters to more subtle aesthetic tastes with its other 2 colours – white and black – its classy look is elevated by the golden stem of an accent on its lid.

It brings whimsical art and functionality together in a kitchenware piece that can be used to slow-cook meat and even bake pies. The craftsmanship is so exquisite, it can be used as statement serving bowl during events when you have friends or family over.
