Lori Posted August 20, 2006 Share Posted August 20, 2006 Does anyone know where I can buy one? I have looked all round and had no luck. I can find iron skillets, but they all have either a wooden handle or something on them that would not allow stove-top to oven cooking.. I know they must have them here, but I am having no luck.Any chance of an online purchase??Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christine Animal Posted August 20, 2006 Share Posted August 20, 2006 Do you mean a cocotte en fonte Lori...Cocotte en fonte Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lori Posted August 20, 2006 Author Share Posted August 20, 2006 not a cocotte, but a poele (sorry don't know how to make the little cap on top of the e). I have seen the cocottes all over, but never the skillet. I have several recipes that call for a cast iron skillet (thats what we call them in the U.S.), but it needs to be a true cast iron skillet, in that it can be used on a stove-top or in an oven.I did check the website you noted and thanks for that, but I didn't see what I'm looking for. I did add the site to my favorites as it looked like a good one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moonraker Posted August 20, 2006 Share Posted August 20, 2006 I only found one without wooden handles:http://www.meilleurduchef.com/cgi/mdc/l/fr/boutique/produits/stb-poele_2_anses.html Mary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cassis Posted August 20, 2006 Share Posted August 20, 2006 Le Creuset make them with metal handles (as well as with wooden handles).Metal skillets from Le Creuset Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lori Posted August 20, 2006 Author Share Posted August 20, 2006 Moonraker - that certainly looks similar. But, the website notes info. on products en fonte emaillee. Is this true cast iron, or coated cast iron (as the name implies)? That would make it different wouldn't it??Did you buy the one with the wood handles? Does it appear to be coated or ordinary cast iron? The coating means you must start off cooking at slow temps. I'm not sure, but I don't think it is exactly the same thing???Liked the website though. Saved it along with Christine's for anyone asking me what I want for Xmas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will Posted August 20, 2006 Share Posted August 20, 2006 We have one made by a company called Chasseur. Look at http://www.invicta.fr/pages/ustensiles_cuisson/32790.html for an example. If you look at the poeles and grils on the left hand side of that page I am sure you will be able to find something that would suit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As they say:Vive la cuisine saine et rapide avec les grils Le Creuset. Ils passent de la plaque au four ou au barbecue en un tour de mains. Existent en trois formats : rond, carré et rectangulaire.Solid cast iron (fonte) - Le Creuset's speciality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lori Posted August 20, 2006 Author Share Posted August 20, 2006 Thanks Cassis. I guess the new age skillets are slightly different, perhaps better. I did see that Tarte Tatin one with Le Creuset. Wonder why I never seem to see it in the shops I've been to.. It says it goes from stove to oven and it can take high temps, so I think it would work fine.Thanks to you all.Happy cooking.
