Pumpkin season questions

Answers taken from the product descriptions we sell — nothing invented.

Can a pumpkin cocotte go in the oven?
Yes. The Crucible Cookware enameled cast iron pumpkin Dutch oven is oven safe up to 536°F (280°C) and works on all stovetops, including induction. It is attractive enough to bring from oven to table.
Is the pie bird oven-safe?
The Le Creuset Pie Bird (White) is oven safe up to 260°C and is dishwasher safe. It is made from sturdy stoneware.
Can I put enameled cast iron in the dishwasher?
Crucible notes its enameled cast iron is dishwasher safe, but recommends hand washing with warm soapy water to keep the original appearance. Do not use in microwave ovens, on outdoor grills, or over campfires.
What size pumpkin cocotte should I start with?
The Crucible pumpkin pot is 2.32 qt (2.2 L) — suited to seasonal sides and smaller braises. The Le Creuset Signature Pumpkin Cocotte at 4 qt is the larger table piece for a crowd.
