Oh ok, in (British) English I'd just call that a casserole. (Which per sibling comment from GGP I understand is not the same/more specific than a casserole in French.) So I suppose it's correct that it ends up at 'Dutch oven' (the predominantly American term for the same) on Wikipedia. I'm afraid my French isn't up to reading a Wikipedia entry, which is why I asked (GGP linked the same article). |

It's rather that they are false-friends: a french « casserole » is an english ‶sauce pan″ (the most vanilla cookware, a metal pot with a handle).
A cocote has typically more heat inertia (made of thick casted iron), is larger (so you can cook large pieces of meat in it) and thus far less handy.
