Le Creuset - Doufeur Pot - Cooking.com

Chef Freddy Brooker demonstrates the multi-functional Doufeu pot. By creating two different temperatures to build up condensation (self-braising technique) within the pot, this casserole is ideal for braising, stewing and tenderizing tough cuts of meat. The versatile pot cooks on top of the stove as well as in the oven, and is attractive enough to go from oven to table.

@magagro2000 It basically makes a very cold top where the moisture inside the pot will condensate on and drip back on the meat through the points on the bottom of the top.

This way it is in fact auto-basting.

What's the point bout the ice ?does it make the cooking stuff to get tender?

tnx for the tips!

Just for reference, Amazon sells this unit for $299.95. Wow, a bit rich for my blood.

@WoodyMathias i own a le creuset dutch oven. you can make the same dishes with the same quality in a lodge cast iron dutch oven.

[WoodyMathias]

you have no idea what your talking about, le creuset is worth it.

[thatbastardson]

way overpriced. the french strike again.

Beside many other LeCreuset things, we have this Doufeu and it is really awesome. We use it especially for chicken since it makes the evaporating juices drip back onto the joint. However, I don't agree with this video since a stew is the last thing I would be making in this pot. For a stew, a normal cast iron pot with a standard cover is completely sufficient. In contrast, when it comes to a nice roast, it shows all its advantages. Instead of ice, cold water can also be used in the lid.

le creuset is the best! i had no idea you could put ice at the top!

P.S. Doufeur is pronounced doo-fur, not dough-foo. I'm kinda obsessed with pronunciation :P

I love Le Creuset and have so many pieces. This is one I'd like to acquire someday (hey if you need someone to test-drive it, I'm available! Ha!)
